... hrm. For the first time in my life, out of... probably a couple hundred batches... I have apparently burnt my first pot of rice. Seems there either wasn't enough water or it wasn't covered well enough, one of the two. Which is odd, because it was using the same amount water and degree of covering that every other batch I've cooked here has used, but... whatever, I guess. Does look like most of it is salvageable though, once I pick out the burnt grains. Is something.

E: Or... not. One, this is next to impossible, or at least so time consuming I'd probably finish sometime tomorrow. Two, the rice now tastes like burnt rice, even the rice that isn't burnt. Time for plan B, potato chowder.

... also have to figure out what to do with the rice. I think this is also the first time in my life I've created unpalatable food without a handy less-discerning-than-me animal nearby. Guess I'll stick it in the fridge 'till garbage day...

Is there anyone you especially hate getting married anytime soon?  XD

Get better, dude.  Bummer that health care is such a hassle where you are (the US, I presume?)

[Frumple]

I would not feed bad food even to someone I hate

Like cooking too much for that. Might not feed 'em, but bad food...? No. I will not feed anything I won't eat to another human. That is anathema! Primo cooking...something something. I only got half credit for that latin class.

... barring stuff I can't stand the taste of but can cook fine, anyway...

And yeah, states.

I was referring to the tradition of throwing rice at the bride and groom - not feeding them.  Just seemed funny at the moment, if in <ahem> poor taste. *rim shot*

[Frumple]

*blinks* Oh yeah. Yeah, I didn't even think of that. Rice is for eating, not throwing*. What sort of crazy person throws something you can cook at people? You could eat it!

Then again, it's not terribly edible at this point so I guess that would be a good use for burnt rice... maybe I can freeze it for later...?

*... and apparently drying things. But mostly eating.

I have a use for bad/unwanted rice!

Take an old sock, and fill it with rice, then tie off the top.

You can stick it in the microwave to use a heating pad, the rice holds the heat pretty well, and you can reuse it, too.
Really nice now that it's getting cold.

Don't worry, I'm sure they won't eat her :c

...Screw you Dutchling. Just... screw you.

...that is fairly commonly used speech meaning "she'll be fine". Did you actually assume people here believe that everyone in Asia is a cannibal. Or that there are significant chances of meeting them without actively looking, and then being a feeding target. Fairly sure some Polynesian tribes practice/used to practice it.

Goddamnit, Bay12. I'm not an English native and I know this.

[Gamerlord]

Actually that isn't a commonly used phrase. Trust me, I am an English native.

[Frumple]

'Course, it could be the other meaning of eating and GL is... disappointed, somehow? I guess it would mean she was probably having a good time...

Actually that isn't a commonly used phrase. Trust me, I am an English native.

... I've heard it often enough, m'self. Maybe a bit less common than "Foo won't bite", foo being he/she/it/I/etc. Might be a regional thing, though, of course, with roughly the same connotation.

Really, though, I don't think there's much need to worry about potential cannibalism in SE Asia. Other things, sure, but I don't hear much about that from the region.

She's just a kid you sick bastard!

... consider it retracted, then. Figured it was someone of age if they were going (presumably) overseas/cross continents for an extended period.
