Nope, we have always cooked our rice in this way, with the exception of risotto.

Interesting. I have never put anything in the rice except water. What type of cuisine do you typically cook?

That’s funny. I manage to make the rice just fine. Who adds rice to the water? Rinse rice, add water to knuckle, gently bring to rolling boil. Turn off heat and let sit for 20 minutes ( lid on). You do have to keep an eye that there is sufficient water and that it doesn’t boil dry or boil over but that is not…

I’m going to guess that you just told an asian to eat less rice? That’s kinda funny.

Your snark loses it's snark when it reads as if you think WS is selling an apron made by Jacquard. It just means it is a fabric made with a jacquard pattern. "Listen, I can't have my apron woven with regular, peasant cotton. I need Jacquard to do it. Jacquard understands what I need from my cotton. There's a…

True that. On the other hand, celiacs get more than an irritable bowel.

what?

I've had 3 kids. I have no idea what a contraction even feels like. You most certainly do not have to wait for contractions to begin before having an epidural in the case of an induced labor. I have a very low pain threshold and the idea of a cesarean is abhorrent to me. I consider myself incredibly fortunate - I've…

Ill keep a close eye on the one that lives on milk ! She's already "Most Likely to Cast Shame on the Family".

This is all sorts of wonderful. I'm going to share it with my eldest. I gave my daughter the American Girl Book. She found it VERY interesting. When she was about 10 I overheard her telling her best friend who was reading the same book, on the phone " yada yada yada giggle yada OMG we have to use TAMPONS!!!!!". I cut…

8 years old ..nooooooooooooo. I thought 11 was early. i have 8 year old twins..they still believe in the tooth fairy. And Santa. And the Esater Bunny.

"But how often when plastic surgery is lampooned in pop culture are people making fun of huge fake asses? Is that a thing? No. It's not. " I'm not going to disagree with your argument except to say despite the publicity given to the terrible outcomes of illegal butt injections, the non stop media attention given…

Awesome cat! My cat went for my less than awesome father once. He was beating up on my mother and myself and siblings. Docile ol' Boo Boo went ballistic at him..fur,teeth and claws. I loved that cat to bits. Excuse me whilst I have a little cry .

Came over here from a discussion about Lorde & the paps- Here's a "sweet" FB page - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bratty-S… I reported this over a year ago for the upskirt photos of a child … but is it harrassment to call out a (then) 7 year old, as a slut, a bitch and tell her to screw herself? The photos of…

I would take Spongebob- keep the jacket zipped up (the shirt on back to front?) and channel Yayoi Kusama.

The part where the 2 Australians complained about a lack of English in Japan- is very embarrassing. I apologise for them. Australia and Japan share a "reciprocal tourism " relationship. Japan gets many winter tourists from Australia in their ski resorts and it is not unusual to study Japanese in high school in…

A french press is so simple! We get so many questions from guests when we pull out the french press and for some reason our cordless electric kettle also fascinates them? We are mainly tea drinkers, the french press works well for loose leaf tea as well.

Are those things removing snow- or are they fellow victims?

and she took you into her confidence.. no wait, she didn't.

As for the school yard bullies - I have to say that it is important for children to learn that their words and actions have repercussions. Bullying in certain situations has to have consequences - workplace bullying and school yard bullying in particular. Employees are reliant on their incomes and should not have to…
