rice, just boil in some water & salt until done drain the water and stick it in the fridge, 2 mins in the microwave when needed.
Recipe for food poisoning that - rice is one of the things you shouldn't really reheat.
DD's way is the only way to do it proper.

Makes note of those insisting there's a proper way to cook rice
*makes note of all those who are making notes about stuff.

cool! are you making notes too? We should compare notes when we're at Grammar Pedants Club..... First Rule - One does not speak of ...Oh I can't be arsed.
On rice:
Put however much rice you like in a saucepan. Cover with boiling water to about an inch over the top.
Simmer until the rice has little vents in it where steam cones through. Drain then steam over boiling water.
Perfect rice every time.
Thanks Ken Hom.
Page 5 and no-one has mentioned the best way to cook rice...
In the oven!!
Best way to cook rice is to get some one else to do it!
Quickest way to get at frozen ice cream - microwave it for 30s with a teaspoon pushed into the top.
A metal teaspoon?!
One I found online: to find out whether a battery (AA or the like) is dead or not, hold it upright about a cm from a table, and drop it. If it falls over, it's ready for the bin; if it stands upright, it's still good.
Freak your neighbors out by changing the name of your Wifi channel to FBIsurvaillancevan7 or something similar.
When buying milk in plastic bottles hold them horizontally and squeeze them before putting them in your basket or trolly. That way you can tell if the lids leak (so you swap with a non leaking one) before they leak in your shopping bag or fridge.
A liberal splash of malt vinegar in the water for cleaning windows helps..and dry with newspaper also...
Use the fuel filler cap to hold the pump trigger open when you're filling up your car.
I filled the car up today and remembered this, BRILLIANT!
If you can't remember which way your pedal threads go....
With the bike standing upright, put the pedal spanner on the pedal. If you turn the spanner towards the back of the bike, you'll loosen it. Remember "Back Off" and you'll be reet.
The easiest way to clean the glass on your woodburner is to get someone else to do it.
Failing that, some of that 'glass hob cleaner' does a splendid job every time.
Pasta though, that must be added to water already boiling in the pan, and it must not be overdone
No need to add to boiling water

MI6 monitoring service here (oops, have I given away too much?)
Though sadly I'm sure my neighbours can work out who it is and nobody has commented on it 🙁
It would be funny to change the SSID to 'The w@nker at no 43' 😀

Spanner starting at 12 o'clock? or 6 'clock? 😉

With the pedals thing, I've always gone with "right is right" as in the right pedal tightens and loosens the way you'd expect. Unless of course you have pedals on your mountain bike that use a hex bolt that has to be accessed from the "inside of the pedal" ie you're likely to be looking at it from the other side. So for my road and pub bike, right is right, and for my MTB, right is right-ish. 😀
When removing or refitting tyres always start opposite the valve and finish at the valve.
Amazing the amount of people who don't do this and struggle as a result.
don't let your dog drink sea water on a crowded beach in Cornwall (it creates a reaction similar to mentos and coca-cola (from the back end)). Apparently most parents fail to see the funny side of the jet propelled Labrador spraying everyone in sight.

Similarly don't let your dog eat several feet of seaweed holdfast just before you and several other families crowd onto a tiny boat back from the Farne Islands. Purple foaming puke fountain.
^^ My dog does this to equally "hilarious" results, pretty difficult (impossible) to bag-up. I didn't think animals drank sea water...
If it's a labrador, if it can get it in its mouth it'll try to eat it.
Never seen my lab drink sea water - good to know for future information!
If you're not gonna use your hydration pack for a while, a splash of antibacterial mouthwash will stop beasties and black fur growing in the bladder

Now that is interesting and a subject of heated debate in the club I ride with. Why do you say do it like that?
because the valve sits high in the rim-well and takes up space that the beads need in order to give slack to get over the rim on the opposite side. If you start with the beads sat deep in the well on the other side from the valve, by the time you get round to the valve side, you have plenty of slack to slip the bead over the rim.
That doesn't make sense. You start at the valve when removing so the tyre can sit well off the bead at the opposite side. Start opposite the valve when fitting so the tyre is well off the bead at the end.When removing or refitting tyres always start opposite the valve and finish at the valve.

I have their first album.
If you start opposite the valve and finish at the valve, haven't you only gone half way round?
[quote=akira said]If you start opposite the valve and finish at the valve, haven't you only gone half way round?
Have you ever fitted a tyre ? 😀
I tend to have to start and finish at the same bit to go all the way round. 😛

You're making the mistake of thinking that the first stage of the process is getting the tyre lever under. First you want to gather all the slack at the valve, and you do that by starting opposite the valve.

There's a reason your meant to keep holding it.
BLOODY HELL! she was quite relaxed about it all, putting the nozzle in the bucket and that, i'd have been on my trotters quick sharp.

Yes, this.

Your welcome. 😀

Let toast cool before buttering when making soldiers for boiled eggs so it stays firmer for dipping.

Right, wee trick people and rice-cooking ninjas in particular - how do you cook the thin rice noodles that go in Singapore noodles without them turning to am un-noodly, porridgy mush?
Asking for a friend.
