Rice water for your plants

You SHOULD be rinsing your rice before you cook it. But if you aren’t today is the PERFECT day to start. Rinse your rice in cold water to get the starch off it, agitate the rice. save that milky colored water in a large container. Keep rinsing the rice until it’s clear. Cook your rice and eat it. Let the rice water sit overnight so that the hard minerals evaporate. You can dilute the rice water with more reg water to dilute it (like if you have HELLA plants like I do) but stir it up bc it might settle. (You can either add filtered water OR you can add more water before you let the hard minerals evaporate) Now you have a natural and free fertilizer for your plants. Use it all in one day tho. Repeat once a month, every other month or when your plant babies need some extra love especially during the winter months.

boxed rice pilaf

I can make it drunk on boxed wine in the microwave without paying attention, just like my foremothers. my little tip: follow the instructions on the side panel not the ones for the stovetop on the back ;)

Seasoning your rice

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but in most cases you’re gonna want to season your rice. After it cooks, put some oil/butter on that steamy starch and stir and salt it. It doesn’t even need to be a huge amount, but it’s going to improve things so much. You could even put a little vinegar in there too—go crazy. Everyone is gonna be like, “wow your rice tastes so good” and you can know that it’s all because of your use of FLAVORS and SCIENCE.

r/yoga

I absolutely love the community on this subreddit. I have mixed feelings about Reddit in general - but I do like the subreddits where most of the posts are text posts and this is true for r/yoga. People will present an unhinged scenario (which is probably an exercise in creative writing and/or narcissism like most things on Reddit) where they are in a yoga class and the person next to them is wearing bells on their belt and they smell awful and are sweating so much there are puddle and doing jumping jacks and not following the instruction and loudly saying mantras. the op will then ask “what do I do?? Talk to the studio owner??” And ALL of the commenters just go “in the spirit of yoga, you have to drown it out and focus on your breath ✌🏻🍃” or literally post an old proverb. And then the op just agrees and goes on their way. It’s reminds me of old forum posting and I love the energy.

Fruit salad

I love chopping fruit up and making the ultimate snack: fruit salad. It makes me feel like a sim in Sims 4 and my cooking skill is increasing.

the king Cake Baby

What a joyous day! My coworker from Nola made a King Cake and I found the baby! A main character event if there ever was one! Everyone was congratulating me like I did something more than eat a piece of cake!
