it works...
The rice cooker book.
It's all about the "suihanki", as they call it in Japan. It is the focal point of any Japanese kitchen, and at any given moment, is full to the brim with boring white rice. They eat it for every meal, breakfast through to dinner and even as a late night 'snack'.
And using a rice cooker is easy. All you do is add rice and water and push a button.
Now, finally someone actually went into the kitchen and came up with some rather interesting, if not tasty recipes using the convenience of the rice cooker (it saves on cleanup tremendously) to create delicious meals.
Enough with the boring white rice, I say.
What's more, this cookbook provides recipes that have nothing to do with rice. It is the "other" steamer/oven-like-appliance that you never knew you had. Did you know you could use it to cook desserts, or even appetizers? It has vegetarian and meat-atarian meal ideas alike.
I found this book helpful because I have a small kitchen and I hate doing the dishes. In this book I found a few recipes I could make, that would make me appear to be a gourmet, a spectacular chef, without making a mess or putting much effort into the cooking process.

Cordon Bleu on a beggar's budget
Lured by that damn'd hypnotic Gold Box into snapping up a natty rice cooker, it dawned on me that I didn't actually know what goes with rice, or how to cook it. Back to Amazon's ace 'search' function and voilĂ ! This is the book I needed - and so might you.

Great keepsake for a young Derby or horse enthusiast
If you have a child that has ever been to a Derby, watched one on TV or loves horses this is a great keepsake book. The pictures are colorful and bring Churchill Downs to life. This may in fact be one of the only, or at least one of the few, Kentucy Derby books available for children of this age range. You can remember this book again and again the first Saturday of May as you and the gift recipient experience the greatest two minutes of racing!

Mistakes abound in this disappointing book
Texas certainly needs a good book on its flag history; unfortunately, "Flags of Texas" isn't that book. This is a revision of "A Concise History of Early Texas" (1964), which itself was based on the Mamie Wynne Cox's greatly flawed "The Romantic Flags of Texas" (1936).

Mistakes abound--the silly conception of the "Indian Flag," the use of archaic French and Spanish flags no longer in use at the time of the exploration of Texas, the use of the current Mexican flag when the text speaks of "Mexico's Historic Flag," a discussion of the "De Zavala Flag" when no such flag existed, the apocryphal designation of Charles Stewart as the designer of the current Lone Star Flag, and the statement that the Confederate "Star and Bars Flag" was "the first official Confererate flag." There is no bibliography, probably because most--if not all--of the research came from reading Mamie Wynne Cox's book.

Fortunately Texas flag scholarship is improving with newer works such as Alan K. Sumrall's "Battle Flags of Texas in the Confederacy" and flag entries in "The New Handbook of Texas."
