rice cooker

Reminds of a hilarious event...

Back around 1976-1980 we had a series of Japanese exchange students.

They always came during July-August.

One time it was decided to treat the students to "Thanksgiving", turkey, dressing... the whole works.

To accommodate the crowd, it was all set up in a high school cafeteria, with each "mom" creating a table's worth of food, buffet style.

Our student, Keiko, walked all around surveying everyone's presentation, then declares in a VERY loud voice, "My mom's is best!" :-) ...Jim Thompson

My mother was a very good cook, as were my aunts. However, at family reunions we'd always eat one aunt's (my mother's sister) stuff. She always made cookies for us (had no children of her own). ;-)

It didn't matter what my mom made. Her, and my grandmother's cooking was the first to disappear from the 20'+ table. Boy, do I miss those days.

Semolina is made from wheat.It's the same stuff they make pasta out of.

Tapioca is (IIRC), the pith of a tropical palm tree, AKA manioc.

When I was a kid, I got kidded that tapioca pudding was harvested from frog pools ;-)

I always tell the kids that bubble tea (I presume bubble tea is familiar to everyone these days?) is made with fish eyes.

It would be easy to convince a kid of that :-) ...Jim Thompson

The black things at the bottom are tapioca "pearls". The straw is just big enough diameter that the tapioca balls can be sucked up through th straw. It's also cut diagonally at one end so you can stab the heat sealed cover to make a hole -- the one in the photo looks like it was done wrong ;-)
