Not difficult at all.
In theory. I don't really know since I never cook white rice at home. But I'd guesstimate that in restaurants or takeout, I'd call the rice "good" only about 50% of the time.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

Art Crawl!!!
Amusing commentary on last night's TC.
And I could swear that Casey's rice was supposed to be "saffron rice" - did you guys see any saffron at all?

I didn't hear that, but I often miss details because my housemate and I are continually making snarky comments throughout.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Lord knows I can be fairly shitty in the kitchen, but I've never managed to thoroughly screw up rice.
I really really wanted Hung to go just for the faux-guileless look on his face as he said, "Too classic?" in response to Colicchio's question about why he thought he was there. Or I would have, if I didn't already want him to go just for his reckless ways with the cleaver. Or I would have, if I didn't already want him to go for saying, "I guess they just didn't understand my concept" of the seasoned professionals who didn't like his quickfire item. He's the Top Chef Figjam.
I still mostly dislike Joey, but it's kind of cute how he and Howie are all OTP in a burly, brotherly sort of way. They did their territorial dance of rage at each other, baring their teeth and displaying their fierce plumage, and now that each is sufficiently impressed with the size of the other's balls they're perfectly peaceable together.

He needed to be smacked with the broad side of a cleaver for that.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Heh. Yeah, my wife pronounced, "Aw! The bears have bonded!"

Catching up with Top Chef. So very very over Hung. Did the guest judge call him Honk in the Quickfire?
I'm sorry Sara (of the chile rellenos) didn't get pulled in with Howie and Joey - certainly the crowd reaction seemed to merit it.
What happened to Pocahontas's arm?
Now I want to watch Dame Chocolate.

She's always had that scar -- car accident as a teen or something -- but sometimes you just notice it.

So, I was going to go off on how some of those uniforms were totally out of date (the women's) and then I realized, no, they were perfectly good uniforms during WWII. Now, that's what I call authenticity to the song's time period.
