Good news

Somehow work has the best basmati rice in the world. I don't know what it is, because the cook buys in bulk, but even the expensive organic rice I get from Fiesta doesn't taste as good. So whenever we have a basmati dish, I zoom in on tne leftovers and take a yoghurt container or two of rice home with me, to serve on subsequent days with my two fave dishes, gyoza and har gow. After all those scares about 'leftover rice causes food poisoning!', I was a bit dubious, but still... delicious delicious basmati. I'll take my chances.

And now I find that refrigerating that rice makes it healthier to eat. Win-win all round.

How very convenient and choice-affirming!

Reality is so rarely cooperative this way. I cherish the few instances where it is.

I would think that the only way leftover rice could cause food poisoning is if it wasn't properly stored after it was served.

The Day Care Center I used to work for had very good brown rice, but since our food budget was so small I doubt it was anything but a generic brand. I think it was so good because they used a rice cooker. We didn't have a stove top so everything was cooked in the rice cooker or the oven.

Yes, well. It sits on the kitchen counter- in a covered dish, but still- for several hours before I take it home. If I put it in the fridge, invariably I forget to take it.

We have brown rice a lot, but I loathe it. Quality or not.
