Out and about grocery shopping this morning and we ended up going to three places and still didn't find parboil rice at anything close to a half-decent price. I guess it's inflation when I actually notice a difference in the prices of what I buy.

I feel as though my secondary education has failed me - I don’t know what parboil rice is.

Benefits of Parboiled Rice

Benefits of Parboiled Rice. Parboiled rice might sound like it's precooked, but it's not. Instead, it's processed quite differently from other types of rice.

I had to google "SFGate" and yes, there are many boarders and renters between youse guys and me. Not sure if they'll be happy being leaked upon though. Is laundry facilities included in their rent?

'Tis Monday morning and what a glorious Monday it is! My wife is now back to WFH for two weeks, so she got to sleep in an extra two hours while I got up at 7 (instead of 6:30) and had my first coffee (#3 is now done) and caught up on the news without having to watch the clock to ensure we left the house on time.

With 13 shaves on the Personna, the shave was pretty Mehishly good as well.

A fortnight of shaves on a Personna SE blade is my standard, even though I have used them for 3 weeks on occasion. I'll switch back to my ASD2 tomorrow. I'll clean up all the non-root vegetables from the garden today as tomorrow is brown-bag yard waste pickup by the town. That will leave just the carrot and beet to enjoy at our leisure.
