A handful of fresh berries in your batter will give your pancakes a delicious fruitiness. Virtually any berry will work well here: blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, and other berries all make good choices. You can also get away with adding berries that are slightly over-ripe — once the pancakes are cooked, they'll be unrecognizable. In a pinch, you can use frozen berries in most pancake recipes. As long as your pancakes are fairly thin, they'll thaw completely. Adding chocolate chips to your batter will give you a rich, cookie-like treat. Choose whichever type of chips you like: milk chocolate will give you the sweetest taste, while semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips will give a flavor that's a little more complex. These pancakes go well with ice cream or whipped cream as a dessert dish. If you're a fan of breakfast muffins, try these deliciously unique pancakes. Add lemon zest and juice to the batter along with a handful of poppy seeds for texture. You may need to compensate for the extra liquid by adding a small amount of extra flour. Try adding it 1/8 of a cup at a time until you achieve a good consistency.  To zest a lemon, use a fine grater or microplane to grate the outer layer of the peel into your mixing bowl. You won't need much — if the peel gets white, you're going too far.  Simple syrup with lemon juice makes a great syrupy condiment for this dish. If you're trying to get another serving of vegetables into your daily diet, try these treats by adding shredded carrots, onions, long beans, and garlic to your batter. These pancakes aren't sweet, but they taste great with a little butter or olive oil. Salty fish (like whitebait) also make great companions. If you like spice, try adding a little red pepper to the batter with the vegetables. Plain greek yogurt is a great side in this case — its rich smoothness counteracts the spice. If you suffer from Celiac disease, never fear — you can still enjoy your favorite pancake recipe. Just substitute gluten-free flour for all-purpose flour in the "Basic Pancakes" recipe above. The taste and texture may be very slightly different, but you may even prefer these differences. There are many kinds of gluten-free flour available. Examples include buckwheat and almond flour. Try checking your local health food store or specialty grocer if you're not sure where to buy gluten-free flour.

summary: Try making berry pancakes. Try making chocolate chip pancakes. Try lemon poppy seed pancakes. Try savory vegetable pancakes. Try gluten-free pancakes.

Rice cookers are the most common tool to keep your rice warm, since you most likely used one to cook your rice in the first place. Each rice cooker cooks rice differently, so just follow the cooking instructions that it came with. Once your rice is cooked, just switch the function from “cook” to “keep warm.” It should be able to keep your rice warm for 2 to 3 hours.  Rice left warming in a rice cooker past the 2 to 3 hours will begin to become gummy or even stick to the rice cooker and burn. It will still be edible, but the quality may drastically decrease. Just do not leave it warming longer than a day in the rice cooker as it can start to grow bacteria.  Not all rice cookers will have a warming function. So make sure that yours does ahead of time. The rice cooker will slowly remove moisture from the cooked rice. So adding water will help prevent your cooked rice from drying out, and add moisture back into the cooked rice. Scale up with the water amount depending on how much cooked rice you have prepared. This will keep the rice at the bottom of the pot from sticking and burning. If the rice seems to be getting dry, then add 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of water at a time until the rice looks moist again. How moist you want your rice is purely up to you and your preference. Rice cookers can have varying temperature levels preset for the warming function. So if this is your first time using the warming function, try and check on the rice every 15 minutes to make sure the rice is not burning.

summary: Cook your rice as you normally would in your rice cooker. Keep your rice cooker on and switch it to its “keep warm” function. Add 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of water per cup of cooked rice. Stir the rice every 15 to 30 minutes, and add more water if needed.

People with a cold or the flu can have similar symptoms, such as a runny nose, a sore throat, or a cough. However, you're more likely to be achy and run a fever with the flu, and you're also more likely to have chest discomfort and a headache. Sometimes you may also feel nausea or disorientation. If you've only had your symptoms for a day or two, then Tamiflu, an antiviral drug, can help you get better faster, as well as prevent you from getting the flu if people around you are sick.  Since the flu is a virus, it isn't strictly necessary for you to go to the doctor immediately, as the virus will usually run its course without extra help. Nonetheless, if you want to get over the virus more quickly, Tamiflu can reduce the time you're sick as well the severity of the sickness. If someone in your house has the flu but you don’t, you may still get prescribed Tamiflu to avoid getting the virus. Go to the doctor if you have shortness of breath or chest pains or if you can't keep fluids down due to vomiting. Your doctor can help you decide on the best over-the-counter drug options to treat the symptoms. You can also ask your pharmacist for help. If you have complications such as a continuous high fever over 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit or chest pains, talk to your doctor.  The flu should only last about 5 to 7 days, so check with your doctor if your symptoms linger.  Complications from the flu can include strep throat, bronchitis, pneumonia, and other infections. Seek treatment if you suspect you have one of these complications since they’ll require an antibiotic.
summary: Check your symptoms. Go to the doctor for Tamiflu. Ask for drug recommendations. Go to your doctor if symptoms worsen.
