I'm not totally against rice. Jes not its biggest fan.

I was hurtin' fer something to eat, last night, so I thought of rice
pudding. Turns out I had most everything, plus a recipe from my old
copy ('67) of JoC. So, I steamed some rice.

Howto Steam rice:

1. Put 1/2-3/4 cup o' rice in SS 3 cup bowl.
2. Wash rice and add water to one (1) knuckle above level of rice.
3. Put bowl with water and rice into a 2nd pan (that is big enough to
hold the entire bowl), on a trivet (I used a
1 pt canning ring), and have way to extract it (I used 2 forks).
4. Boil added water in "2nd pan" fer 25-30 mins.
5. Extract bowl of steamed rice and fluff rice with fork.

This is "steamed rice" at it's best. Works on most any type of rice (I
used long grain) and rice comes out perfect, every time.

After I made the rice, I made the rice pudding. It came out OK (not
great, but OK). Tasted better cold than warm, but I think it was jes
the sugar.

It's not like I'm a stranger to rice. I usta have a Persian rice cooker
(perfect "tahdig" every time) and played around with a lotta rices. I
used it to make a Persian/Thai fish stew I invented, but tossed the rice
cooker when I moved.

This attempt at eating rice was not a huge success. It merely
buttressed my "meh" attitude towards rice.
