I have never used a rice cooker, either. In fact, I have often wondered what the use of one is. Like Victoria, I can't imagine where I would put one. But after reading your article, I can see how it would be handy. I'm the sort who tends to forget things on the stove, too. Maybe I should rethink this idea!

These are some great ideas, Lana. I'll have to pull out my crock pot and try them out. My only limitation will be that I can't let things cook overnight as I use solar power. The electricity goes off at night!
I wonder whether you can let the cooking stop halfway through (with beans, for instance) and then pick it up the next day. If try it, I'll let you know how it works out.

Thanks very much. Yes, that's an important cause, and this is the month when beards are more than just a fashion statement.

Will definitely do so Mira :) Thank you.

It took me a while to figure this recipe, but I'm very happy with it. Hope you will be too! Let me know how you like it and, if you decide to further adapt it, what you would change. :-)

Thank you Mira. Will definitely make it and share the recipe with friends and family too :) The photos look amazing :)

Hi Suranee, thanks for visiting, and thank you for your nice words! You don't really need the endive. The guacamole is really good with the other 11 ingredients.:-)

I'm glad that you thought so! And I hope that you had a very wonderful Samhain. :)

It would have been a very masochistic male fantasy, though there is some credence in what you're saying. At the time, it didn't feel like that though. It was actually quite a shock to realize that the author and artist were both male.

I've met you on Squidoo before, and now you have introduced me to Wizzley! Thank you, my fellow South Carolinian. I am going to see what this Wizzley (and the catchy double letters!) are all about.

This is one of the best Guacamole recipes I've come across Mira. Thank you for sharing. Is there a substitute for Belgian endive since I've not come across it being sold in any stores here?

You are most welcome for the article Mira and I hope you get well soon :) Thank you for visiting :)

I enjoy snacking on sunflower seeds too Mira but unfortunately it's not easy to find in stores here. You are welcome for the article and thank you for visiting and for commenting. From what I've read and been told by a few doctors 200 mg of Vitamin B6 is a bit too much for the body to handle.

Wow, very interesting points in your article. I really liked the idea of strengthening community during Halloween/Samhain, and defying the winter because we made provisions, and can afford to even make big fires . . . Great thoughts!!

I love them too. Thanks for your comment:)
