Oh, um...

This is Esme. I'm sorry if I missed this, but I promise I'll call back as soon as I can. Sorry again!

"Rice cooker?" Esme asks, momentarily distracted from the first question. Rice is still a newer addition to his diet, and the idea there's something specific to cook such a seemingly simple food catches him a little off guard.

"Yep. It makes great rice without having to worry about a timer, then keeps it warm without burning it. Kind of a staple where I'm from. You want to see how it works?"

"I would."

Normally Esme isn't super concerned with how things work, but things that cook are one of the few exceptions to that. "Rice would be good with the stir fry."

"Okay." He holds up the little rice cooker cup. "One of these is a large serving. You put as many scoops in as you want," he adds two to the pot, "then add water to the line that's the same as how many cups you put in." He takes the cooker pot to the sink and fills it until the line is at the 2.

"Then you close it, and press this button," he presses it, "to turn it on. Rice should be perfect by the time we're ready to eat."

"Just like that? That's so handy."

Once the rice is cooking, he thinks for a moment. "I could chop and you can cook, or the opposite," he suggests, eager to really start now.
