Qlogging Up The Q

AITOOW wonders if you can steam pasta? In a rice cooker. I don't have one. How about cous cous, polenta, and all other grains/carbs? It would seem they do a poor job marketing this gadget if you can. Do solar panels break in a hailstorm? It would be a blow to the Green movement if they do. How do the Brits get Lef-tenant out of Lieutenant? Where is the F? Did you know they say most people only lose weight for another person beside their spouse? Why is read spelled the same but pronounced differently for both the present and past tense? Will Siri become a replacement for the imaginary friend for kids? Is the Keurig coffee machine necessary? Can't you just boil a cup of hot water and mix in the little shot of coffee they give you? What else does it do?
