Please don&#8217;t abuse my trust in you.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\nI can&#8217;t cook rice.<br \/>\n<\/center><br \/>\n<br \/>\nI mean, c&#8217;mon!  It&#8217;s rice, you throw it in a pan, a scant 2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice.   You bring it to a boil, turn the heat to low, cover, and in 15 minutes you got rice.  How hard can it be?<\/p>\n<p>If it&#8217;s me cooking it, in 15 minutes you have a sticky gluey mass.  I&#8217;ve tried all sorts of things.  Rinsing the rice.  Stir-frying it briefly like risotto.  Simmering it on very low heat for a longer time.  Adding oil. Fluffing it.  Putting a paper towel under the lid when it&#8217;s done.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes something will work and I&#8217;ll have splendid rice.  Tender individual kernels of rice, fluffy and tasty.  And I&#8217;ll think finally I&#8217;ve hit upon a method that works for me.  And then the next time I do the exact same thing and have a gluey mass of rice clumps.<\/p>\n<p>So faithful readers, help me out here.  If you can cook rice, tell me how you do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m about confess to you, loyal readers, my deepest, darkest [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1335","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cooking"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1335","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1335"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1335\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1335"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1335"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
