That is bizarre, Tom. I wonder if their rice cooker is malfunctioning so they don't know??
Oh no, Scrappy! That sounds ugh. I'm so glad you got in to see someone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, Scrappy! Hope it clears up quick.
I am unaware of any trends toward al dente rice. But then, I wouldn't hear until they were over, probably.

Oh, no, Scrappy. I'm glad you went to urgent care in good time. Here's to antibiotics. Rest well, and heal.
Tom, that is weird.
I'm eating leftover refritos and rice from yesterday's (or the day before's?) tacos. The rice is fully cooked, I'm happy to report.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We like those packages of rice you just need to pop into the microwave and we eat a lot of rice, so we have a lot of packages. We were keeping them in a wire basket on top of the refrigerator, but we started seeing packages all over, like on the second floor landing or on the couch. We then found a couple of wrappers behind the dog bed and realized our dog had enjoyed some Uncle Ben’s. We discovered that one of our cats was taking them out overnight and carrying them around the house. Why rice, when the house is full of dog and cat toys? He has his mysterious catty reasons. We keep the rice in the cabinet now.

A bag of rice does seem pretty similar to a cat toy, to be fair.

To my cats, EVERYTHING is a cat toy. Except the little spinny cat toy designed for that purpose, which lies ignored on the floor.

A cat toy is whatever Murderbiscuit says is a cat toy. Until he decides it isn't.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I really like Trader Joe's Rice Medley ("Brown Rice, Red Rice & Black Barley"). I will need to restock my freezer soon.

That is very weird, Tom! If not for a pandemic I’d be v tempted to take my dinner there and be that person going “have you even TRIED THIS??” Lol
Oh and Scrappy!! So sorry that sounds like a pain in the....face...
Instead I did grocery pickup for the first time, because I am quarantining to pod with friends for next weekend. First I went to the wrong store. Oops. Somehow it was saying this other store which is far away, was actually closer, and I thought I’d accidentally ordered from there, but when I got there they were like “nope” and when I finally looked at my email rather than the confusing app, indeed I did order from the right store. Good grief. And then they were out of the one thing I wouldn’t have thought? But whatever. Got my stuff, got $20 off for it being my first order, and I once again have all the clementines I want.
Now to get some energy up to go take the dog for a walk in the nice sunny weather?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Cats iz weird. Covey will practically push his face into any plate of anything I'm eating, but he won't eat people food when I offer it to him. Bally on the other hand will happily eat as much chicken as I put in front of her, and she jumped on the tidbits of Christmas ham that I offered her.
