Cooking for Noobs. That is, me
I hate cooking rice. Its really difficult! I can do the entire rice-in-a-bag cooking, but Kaz dosn't like it, instead, I should be making fried rice, which is actually a whole other level. Let's just consider this for a moment. You have to cook it not once, but twice. Why is this? What was wrong with the just boiling it but NO you have to fry it first. Plus I'm a clumsy fool so I usually get the entire oil amount wrong and everything begins to go wrong.

Anyways. I'm cooking for her tonight a thing in a tin foil tray which is from Morrisons, so that just goes in the oven for 20 min, and the rice. It might be pasta by the time I've finished with it.

It's the Approved and Correct way, but only with risotto-type rice. Is it risotto-type rice? Looks halfway between long-grain and pudding. Are you sure Kaz can tell which way you've cooked it? I always do it the easy way. Better to be infra dig than infra edible.

I dunno, i used the same rice Kaz used. I think the main thing here is not the rice but the massive lack of sauce in the meal which made it very bland. It was a disastrous evening ending with me going to bed 3 hours early to prevent any more mishaps.

Indeed. When in doubt, stay in bed.

I love plain rice, by itself with nothing added, not even salt. Rice with tadiq is even better... aha! The answer is to get a rice cooker :)
