ita, one suggestion for rice is boil it like you would pasta and then pour the water off. I've never tried it, but I know that people have great success with it: [link]
The other trick with rice (and quinoa) is to always rinse it. With rice it is rinse and drain at least 3 times. With quinoa it's rinse and scrape against a mesh colander for 2 minutes and then toast.
Good luck, Sue!
We gave out somewhere between 200-300 pieces of candy last night. A year ago we were still in our old house 6 blocks away and we had zero kids come to the door.
I gave away two bags, and then had to shut off the porch light because there wasn't any more, despite lots of groups still roaming the neighborhood. I knew in my heart that it was likely to be useless to drive out to the store for more, because if I did I'd be guaranteed not to get any more groups. Ah well.
I'm already back into the office candy.
Do I bring my leftover candy into the office or do I put it in my freezer? It's all chocolate if that makes a difference.
Good luck, Sue! I want this for you. You deserve adventures in foreign lands.
My mind says office, but my heart says freezer. Actually, my heart says belleh.
Hey, wasn't this Hil's cousin? It's still going around! [link]
