I cook rice once a week. My husband eats most of it, but it saves me
from doing up a single portion several times. I just nuke his bit for a
minute and toss the veggies on top. For special occasions I'll have a
quarter cup.

I don't care to keep cold cooked rice for very long - apparently it is
very easy to contract food poisoning from it. Obviously if I am making
a cold rice dish, then I allow it to cool, but otherwise I don't cook
more than I need for that meal.

Uh, that's a storage problem. If rice is kept at room temperature, you
can get food poisoning from the Bacillus cereus that uncooked (dry) rice
has on it naturally, however, if it is promptly refrigrated, as all
leftovers should be, this is a non issue.

Well I still have 4 living children and they often ate rice that had been
stored in the fridge!

I cook brown basmati rice in about 35

Are you sure this is proper whole-grain rice, then? I know that when I
cook ours for less than 40 minutes, it is still hard in the middle. I
prefer to give it a good 40 minutes once it has returned to the boil,
ideally 45, and then let it sit with the heat turned off for another 5,
to absorb the last of the water.


I agree with you about regular brown rice, but the brown *basmati* rice
is a bit thinner and cooks a bit faster. It's also fluffier and nuttier
tasting. I recommend it! (Can you tell?) :-)

If I know what time I'm going to be able to serve dinner, then that does
make a big difference. With a husband apt to come home any time between
about 7.00 and 9.00 pm (well, every 30 minutes, given train times!), and
sometimes later, it makes life difficult.


True. My husband works 1/2 an hour from home and calls me when he's
leaving, but it's not like I have dinner on the table when he walks
through the door! I understand about wanting to eat ASAP.

How's this working for you? I don't mean to argue with success.


As long as I eat less, I lose weight. I find the easiest way to eat
fewer calories is to lower my fat intake, but try to avoid refined sugar
as much as possible, too. Not totally, just "as much as possible".


I'm feeling really bad for picking on you so much. One of the things
I've noticed is that I need to tackle one item at a time in the
transformation from obese to slender. It's impossible to make ALL the
changes at once. Portion size is a worthy subject to tackle and if
that's where you're at I should be more supportive.
