A blond's cookbook... Monday: It's fun to cook for Ron. Today I made an angel food cake. The recipe said to beat 12 eggs separately. The neighbors were nice enough to lend me some extra bowls. Tuesday: Ron wanted fruit salad. The recipe said to serve without dressing, so I didn't dress. What a surprise when Ron brought a friend home for dinner. Wednesday: A good day for rice. The recipe said to wash thoroughly before steaming the rice. It seemed kind of silly, but I took a bath anyway. I can't say it helped the rice any. Thursday: Today Ron asked for a salad again. I tried a new recipe that said to prepare the ingredients and lay on a bed of lettuce an hour before serving. Ron asked me why I was rolling around in the garden. Friday: I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said put the ingredients in a bowl and beat it. There must have been something wrong with this recipe. When I got back, everything was the same as when I left it. Saturday: Ron did the shopping today and brought home a chicken and asked me to dress it for Sunday. Oh boy! For some reason Ron keeps counting to ten. Sunday: Ron's folks came to dinner today. I wanted to serve roast, but all I had was hamburger. Suddenly I had a flash of genius. I put the hamburger in the oven and set the controls for roast. It still came out hamburger, much to my disappointment. Goodnight Dear Diary: This has been a very exciting week. I am eager for tomorrow to come so I can try out a new recipe for Ron. If I can talk Ron into buying me a larger oven, I am going to surprise him with a chocolate moose.
"Wednesday: A good day for rice. The recipe said to wash thoroughly before steaming the rice. It seemed kind of silly, but I took a bath anyway.

Nah you're supposed to wash it, it's probably not a big deal being in australia. But if you're from a third world country... you're gonna wanna wash the rice, you'll probably find bits of sand and dirt in it. basically put some rice and water in a pot, stir it around abit, and pick out anything that looks sus, and pour out the dirty water.
LMAO, serious? You wash rice before you cook it to get rid of excess starch. That way you don't end up with one big pile of glutinous rice all stuck together.
