Pumpkin and Brownie mix...
I'm making brownies with a friend tomorrow night and was thinking out the pumpkin as a substitute. I've heard people talk about it but I'm still a little confused. Do I just use the pumpkin and brownie mix or is there something else to it? And How much of the canned pumpkin to a box of brownie mix? I read on one forum that…

Rice cooker and steamer recipes?
I have a rice cooker/steamer but I've never used it. I'm not really sure how to use it when cooking rice and steaming veggies at the same time. Doesn't the rice take longer to cook than it normally would take veggies to cook through? If so, do I throw in the veggies after a while of cooking the rice? Any suggestions on…

Joined gym but having trouble with certain areas.
Ok, I finally got my membership to the gym here. I'm familiar with the cadio machines of course and have just been putting in about an hour doing cardio at the gym for the past two days. I want to work in the weights as well though. I'm completely new to that area though. I can't even tell what each machine is used for or…
