serious post about cooking rice

i have been dealing with this problem for years and think it's time i break my silence... i know how to cook rice, okay? when i am at my parents' house, i can make a perfect pot of rice with almost zero effort. we never had a rice cooker. i can do basmati or jasmine. i learned how at a young age and it's just... not an issue. perfect, fluffy rice every time. i used to do it three times a week.

the first time i lived elsewhere i became suddenly incapable of cooking rice!! it came out a gloopy, crunchy mess every time. even the more edible batches were far from ideal. for years i resigned myself to subpar rice. then i moved back home and once again it was literally fine and easy. i recently moved out... today i tried cooking a pot of rice... and it SUCKS!! i am just tossing the whole thing.

i have theorized that it has something to do with the quality of the rice (on my own, i tend to buy the cheapest generic "long grain rice") but i have, at times, taken containers of dry rice from my parents' home (they buy it in massive costco bags) and iirc had the exact same issues with it.

my new theory is the cookware. my parents have a set of stainless steel saucepans from the 80s that we use for everything and they're comparatively thin/light and like idk. normal?? whereas my own pots/pans are much cheaper, comparatively quite thick, and usually some kind of nonstick. i wonder if they don't conduct heat properly??

does anyone else have this issue? commiserate with me. do you think it's the cookware?

there is something sooo fucking good about early seasons ian and mickey, about watching this summer fling turn into something more, the fear that elicited from mickey but him being unable to stop, finding those little moments hidden away and taking all this meaning from small gestures and persevering in dugouts and under bleachers and barely pressed confessions in the back of a church that is soo good for my brain

like i am very glad mickey gets to shout his love for ian from the mountain tops and also beat his love for ian into his dad's face but when he was clenching his teeth shut and his love for ian was coming out regardless ohhhhh baby i was eating

I just made the most text-based-adventure-game -ass decision...

>You notice that the ends of your hair are wet. Could it be from the bowl of soup you just finished?

>Taste hair

>Your hair does indeed taste faintly of Campbell's Chunky Roasted Beef Tips with Vegetables. You should probably shower soon.

>In fact, you can't quite think of the last time you showered.

>Remember showering (Failed)

>With how little you remember in general, it's probably not that concerning that you can't remember the last time you showered. Probably.

I made a post on my main blog discussing how I really feel about the whole Simsulani thing.

Fair warning: I'm not nice about it!

Being passive hasn't gotten us anywhere but here 🤷🏾‍♀️. After going through the same shit year after year, clearly something isn't working 🙃.

There's no need to threaten, but you don't necessarily need to be nice either 😒

The post also has links to their content because that's the energy I'm on this year 💁🏾‍♀️

another thing i love about melodramatic reader is that not only to they feel every emotion intuitively, they broadcast them without shame to the right person. other character might complain, but reader ultimately trusts them with their grievances and monologues and rants,,,

auuughfhhhh

GWEN ur so true so real so right... melodramatic reader and their seemingly thoughtless rambling but everything they share is so deep and intimate and raw their partner doesn't even realize that they're hearing everything for a REASON... they are the most trusted person in their life and all reader's secrets and inner thoughts are safe with them no matter the sheer volume of things they share

also love the idea of a reader ONLY being dramatic around their partner and when that character asks around and is like "what do you mean they don't sit you down and make you listen to their hour-long spiel about their annoying coworkers and also what they ate for dinner and also the birds they saw on their morning walk" and everyone is like Hey that's actually JUST you

I need to call our dentist today because we're back to pretty much unmanageable levels of pain, but also our gums are swollen and that side of our face is hot to the touch and our mouth keeps tasting really bad so clearly there's something very wrong
