The rice is finished and is...okay. The instructions say to simmer on "medium" heat for 35 minutes, which is what I did, but about five minutes before it was supposed to be done, I checked it. I'm glad I did because the rice on the bottom was burned! Not horribly and not a lot of it, just the bottom layer. It was quite crispy-crunchy.

The rest of it was not too bad. I also probably added too much oil, but I think a good first try.

Of course they also played Green Tambourines so their judgment may not be that sound.

The more traditional production of "The King and I" starred Rice Stevens.

OK. I'm missing FJL's contributions.

I shall now shower and perhaps then be on my way to LACC to see Moon Over Buffalo.

George, 35 minutes seems too long to me. I hope it helps.

Thanks. It could've been that or that the temperature was too high, but that's what the directions say. Obviously, I will make some adjustments the next time I make it.

George · « **Reply #127 on:** May 06, 2006, 06:19:02 PM »

I could try it in the microwave, but that says 35 minutes, also.

George · « **Reply #128 on:** May 06, 2006, 06:19:39 PM »

Well, I have to take a shower and watch some DVDs and videos. I'll be back later.

Thanks for the help, Jane!

You are welcome-just feel better. I hope your new diet didn't cause any of your problems.

PennyO, I waved at you when you drove by on I-5. Did you see me?

Oh, that was YOU?!?!?!?!?!

Hi Penny.

PennyO · « **Reply #132 on:** May 06, 2006, 06:48:37 PM »

Yo, Jane.

Seems we're alone here...

Ozman's dawgs are so beautiful, don't you think?

PennyO · « **Reply #135 on:** May 06, 2006, 06:50:23 PM »

I haven't heard of a site that has pairs of resue animals made up of one cat and one dog - but I'll keep my antennae out.

Jane · « **Reply #136 on:** May 06, 2006, 06:52:08 PM »

It is very quiet tonight.

Oh yes. I would love to visit them and the beautiful parrots.

PennyO · « **Reply #137 on:** May 06, 2006, 06:52:25 PM »

Gonna go eat some salad and work on the play a bit, while I have the energy. I did a bit of writing today - some of it good. Sheesh, a long drive does take it out of me, in a way it didn't usta...

PennyO · « **Reply #138 on:** May 06, 2006, 06:53:39 PM »

Hey, let's all go to Australia!!! just for a little visit... drop by Tom's house, and fondle his pooches...

Jane · « **Reply #139 on:** May 06, 2006, 06:54:44 PM »

Thanks.

Today I finaly called C.A.T.S., a cat rescue shelter in Medford, about volunteering. I will go meet them next week.

Lovely pictures of Fosca and Magnus Tom. They are beautiful...

Jane · « **Reply #141 on:** May 06, 2006, 07:05:06 PM »

Penny, great idea.

I'm off for the night.

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #142 on:** May 06, 2006, 07:05:57 PM »

I have doen some work with rescued animals at the local humane society. My heart broke for two dogs that they recently brought in. The owner basically starved them. One was a doberman and the other was a pitbull mix. The dobie was a real sweetheart.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #143 on:** May 06, 2006, 07:22:44 PM »

I shall refrain from passing on the comments to Magnus and Fosca - well they won't be passed on all at once. They'll expect rewards for their loveliness!

Tomovoz, I'm embarrassed by the puns that are going through my head, so I'll say it quietly, risotto voce if you will: Did that Rice Stevens production of THE KING AND I feature the Uncle Ben's Cabin segment?

FJL · « **Reply #145 on:** May 06, 2006, 07:26:19 PM »

Hmmm...that double-pun seemed to drive people away.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #146 on:** May 06, 2006, 07:30:37 PM »

Thank you Fred. My day is now much improved.

I'm glad I didn't try any (Rice) Paddy Chayefsky jokes. That might have cleared the room entirely.

No, it was a George Stevens production and the number was replaced by Steam Heat which makes no more sense than that bloody post of mine!

But that's what Uncle Remus said, and he loved is rice, oh yes, according to Uncle Walt!

YOU? EMBARRASSED??
