Thanks all for your tips on the rice. Usually I just let Mister cook it. He can get it right just about every time.Mets, I want to learn Highland Dancing. I am 33, in good shape and getting better. But you're scaring me! ;) (A few years ago I got a bad case of bursitis in my knee learning Irish step dancing, because I overdid it. I am more careful about it now, but I am in better shape than I was then.)
While we're on the subject I ought to tell you a few fun things about Mister. He is tall and thin but don't let him fool you. He can easily carry my 120 lbs up the stairs and back. He is hands-down the smartest person I know, because he reads a lot. He can tell you almost anything about American history, and almost anything about any firearm ever made, especially muzzleloaders.
He sews his own reenacting clothes and does a fine job.
Like Kendall, he can fix just about everything.
In his early 20s he lived in a tent in the woods and actually trapped for money.
He can play a little Flamenco guitar. Will say he's not very good but he lies like a rug.
Only Shakespeare he knows: Yea, though I look old, yet I am strong and lusty... :)
Bonnie I am SO down with a canoe trip! I do know how to cook over a fire. I been wanting to go canoeing for EVER! Haven't been since I was a teenager and goshdarnit I live right across from the feckin' lake. When do we leave?!!?!
