Now I have a cooking video

I don't talk about it much here (well, for the past three months I haven't talked much about anything here), but the last few years have seen me improve greatly as a cook. The struggle to stand shoulder-to-shoulder in the kitchen with my wife, who really knows what she's doing, has motivated me to graduate from "random vegetables sautéed with terrible improvised sauce" to "carefully coordinated ingredients sautéed with tolerable improvised sauce."

Along the way, I've mastered the art of "switch out ingredients from the recipe on the back of a Cook Do package at will" and become quite proficient in "adapt the Better Homes & Gardens chili recipe for my daughter's young taste buds."

The video I made today covers a skill I like to call "rice cooker hacking." The background music is a Shawshank Redemption remix that didn't make it onto Space Pirate Collection III.
