Rice

Our kids eat rice almost everyday. That's because their mom is Chinese and when it comes to cooking, she's taught me everything I know. So at the age of 4 my daughter is an expert on rice. So much so that she has complained to however will listen that the rice at her daycare is just not up to par. I assume they use some instant variety which can't possibly compare the high quality product of a half decent rice cooker. But come on folks, this is plain white rice we're talking about with a little bit of Soya sauce, not lobster or chicken Kiev. How important can quality rice be? Apparently important enough for my daughter to insist that we bring in a sample of "real" rice topped with Kung Fu brand Soya sauce for her teacher to try out in a blind taste test. This amuses her teacher very much and the next day the kids have rice scheduled on the menu perhaps I'll sent a batch to day care for everyone to try out.
