We can't take them back to the person he got them from.... she passed a week earlier. They're raising hell.

Get those cats outta there! & fast They're killers! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rice is hated more than Charmin by most of the plumber/snake dudes. It NEVER disintegrates. Just lays there forever it seems. lol Some of those blowbags can be fun! Just pricey when you want to get rid of them. 😂 😂 We are super careful with the rice, but we obviously cook a lot of it. Still... it will still sneak down the drain and settle out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We like Jasmine, usually buy it in 25 pound bags, it stores well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Jasmine is ok. But for a side all by itself? With basic everyday American food? Basmati. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I am supposed to be boxing up garage but instead I watch this counter move FLAC files from external HD to NAS prepping for the new system. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried Basmati didn't quite have as much flavor as Jasmine, but it could have been the brand ? It seems whatever I make rice to go with I always seem to have a bowl by itself, sometimes with just butter sometimes with a little seasoning and olive oil. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Thai jasmine here as the go to. Texmati, not generic basmati also. Every now and then we make bamBoom, which is bamboo extract infused. Something different. It is short grain however, and we prefer long grain over the ubiquitous Hawaiian eaten Calrose short grain from California. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Haha... I can't remember what we have at the moment. We have one good asian store here, and depending on when we can get there, we get what we can. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I think it is all the same...But the brand names are fun. There is an asian grocery in Hono that we go to. Run by an ancient lady , reminds us of our former landlord. The thing is, it is the only place to get Mae Kroa oyster sauce even in Hono. The best oyster sauce on the planet folks. No msg, and flavor is spot on. You will find it online, but it won't be cheap. It is cheap though in person. I can be a conduit if demand is there and I insist this is the best oyster sauce in the world. Hopefully you can get it locally. Because shipping costs, you know.

Basmati. we buy basmati, too. in 20lb bags. Wife likes the burlap bags... She likes them, but I don't see her using them for anything.... but she saves the anyway Speaking of bulk buys.... I hit the bottom of the 40kilo bag of flour. We have about 50lb in canisters... but still. I thought is was gonna be way longer. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 We used to buy 5 gallon containers of wheat and grind it fresh for the day we baked bread. Wife and kids would bake four loaves... by the time I got home from work at least one loaf was already gone. Couldn't blame them... fresh out of the oven with butter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
