Recently, I made rice for the first time. I had been intimidated by rice my whole life. I’ve always been abnormally curious and sometimes (okay a lot of times) downright nosy. This didn’t bode well when my mom was making rice because I got the “mom glare” if I ever went near the pot of rice looking like I was going to take the cover off. My brain translated that as “rice is sensitive and easily ruined”.
My ex insisted we have a specific appliance just for rice and it took almost an hour to make. Sure it made good rice, but that translated in my brain as “rice is sensitive, easily ruined, expensive, and time consuming”.
SO imagine my surprise when reading the directions for a Blue Apron recipe that included rice. Boil water, add rice, cook on low covered for 15 minutes. y’all. Y’ALL. It was so easy. And it was delicious! I’ve made rice about a half dozen times since then (sometimes with different things thrown in) and it still makes me chuckle at how *massive* a project I thought making rice was. xD
another day, another lesson
