We used to reheat it all the time when we were kids and eat it cold with milk and sugar. Left over rice was plentiful at our house. I think I'd be stumped trying to drive a smart car too just quietly :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09174682655234764319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-13391317947545811162015-03-16T23:38:08.219-04:002015-03-16T23:38:08.219-04:00Goose is that kind of price here, lamb not as bad ...Goose is that kind of price here, lamb not as bad as that.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-80226801454507104042015-03-16T23:37:32.077-04:002015-03-16T23:37:32.077-04:00Smart car is next week now.

The flight miles is staggering--Chilean berries, Chinese berries, packed in New Zealand, sick in Australia. So now Aussies are carefully sourcing as many natural Aussie products as they can.<br /><br />Hope Matt mastered the Smart Car. And hope the bowling went well.<br /><br />Hmm. Love lamb. It should be dirt cheap here where we grow our own, but the giant supermarkets make sure we pay premium price.<br /><br />Denise:-)Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-56086233189462805342015-03-16T16:38:31.255-04:002015-03-16T16:38:31.255-04:00The thing is Sue, I didn't even know it could ...The thing is Sue, I didn't even know it could be so dangerous.

I always get the rice into the fridge very quickly and have never had a problem in 30+ years. Sometimes a little bit of common sense re. food goes a long way doesn't it .... like not throwing out perfectly good fruit/veg because its reached its sell by date. We love fresh pineapple but when you buy them in the UK supermarkets they really aren't ripe and ready to eat till they've been stored for couple of weeks it seems!<br /><br />and ... don't start me on lamb!! We rear wonderful lambs here on the Marshes in Kent but in the last decade or so the price has soared and its a real luxury now. We don't have it very often because of the inflated price (rant over)!<br /><br />Hope Matt's 'procedure' goes well.Sue Clinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582183867336673426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-49320242221801269962015-03-16T10:40:02.384-04:002015-03-16T10:40:02.384-04:00Will do.Will do.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-81811529627164013632015-03-16T10:39:45.192-04:002015-03-16T10:39:45.192-04:00No, you're right Lisa, he can't drive afte...No, you're right Lisa, he can't drive after the procedure so we have postponed the work on the car til next week.
