I used to love watching the series *M*A*S*H*, when i was younger, it was funny and serious at the same time...so here's a quick one to show how to make mash...i know some people think it is such a difficult thing to make but really easy peesy and always yummy.  This method is for those people that don't like to fuss and only have a microwave...i only cook my mash in the microwave, gives me time

So I was wondering what to make in my new Electric Steamcooker, do you know you can hardly find a recipe or any ideas of what to cook in it...well so I play and play. It tasted awesome, but I must admit my pictures are nothing like what the real thing "should" look like.  I love making food with creamy sauces and mushrooms are my favourite..the correct Beef Stroganoff is placed on a bed of pasta
