#rice and eggs

[writingfanficsfan]

This was my dinner for tonight. It’s a recipe I saw HamiMommy make on YT a couple of months ago and since then I’ve made it at least once a month. It’s simple, it’s fast and it’s very tasty. 

I took the time tonight to look up how you cook rice and fry an egg perfectly and I have to say my plate has never looked this pretty before. That egg just looks perfect and huge plus point it actually tasted amazing! 

Clearly we are cooking our rice wrong here in Belgium because we don’t rince our rice, let alone twice. We also use too much water because we always have to drain our water away. And we also never add butter to rice while cooking it. I guess those reason are why I disliked rice as a child. 

The more you know, right? 

Something as simple as rice and an egg but taking the time to figure out how to cook things does make a huge difference.

"Morning Goodness"

There's somenthing about the flavor when you combine leftover moro rice with a couple of fried eggs. My daughter Christy and I have made this breakfast tradition of eating it on the morning after I cook moro rice, and it's so damn good that we have decided to name it "Morning Goodness!" Try it one day, and I am sure that you will agree.

you're in the habit of denying yourself things.

if someone asked you directly, you would say that you love a little treat. you like iced coffee and getting the cookie. you drink juice out of a fancy cup sometimes, and often do use your candles until they gutter out helplessly.

but you hesitate about buying the 20 dollar hand mixer because, like. you could just use your arms. you weren't raised rich. you don't get to just spend the 20 dollars (remember when that could cover lunch?), at least - you don't spend that without agonizing over it first, trying to figure out the cost-benefits like you are defending yourself in front of a jury. yes, this rice cooker could seriously help you. but you do know how to make stovetop rice and it really isn't that hard. how many pies or brownies would you actually make, in order to make that hand mixer worthwhile?

what's wild is that if the money was for a friend, it would already be spent. you'd fork over 40 without blinking an eye, just to make them happy. the difference is that it's for you, so you need to justify it.

and it sneaks in. you ration yourself without meaning to - you don't finish the pint of ice cream, even though you want to. the next time you go to the store, you say ah, i really shouldn't, and then you walk away. you save little bits of your precious things - just in case. sometimes you even go so far as putting that one thing in your shopping cart. and then just leaving it there, because maybe-one-day, but not right now, there's other stuff going on.

you do self-care, of course. but you don't do it more than like, 3 days in a row. after that it just feels a little bit over-the-edge. like. you can't live in decadence, the economy is so bad right now, kid.

so you don't buy the rice cooker. you can-and-will spend the time over the stove. you can withstand the little sorrows. denial and discipline are practically synonyms. and you're not spoiled.

it's just - it's not always a rice cooker. sometimes it is a person or a job or a hug. sometimes it is asking for help. sometimes it is the summer and your college degree. sometimes it is looking down at scabbed knees and feeling a strange kind of falling, like you can't even recognize the girl you used to be. sometimes it is your handprint looking unsteady.

sometimes it is tuesday, and you didn't get fired, and you want to celebrate. but what is it you like, even? you search around your little heart and come up empty. you're so used to denying that all your desires draw a blank.

oh fuck. see, this is the perfect opportunity. if you had a mixer, you'd make a cake.

Zoro is pretty good at this kind of stuff, though he definitely doesn't take as much care with himself.

taking a walk, past somewhere familiar and warm.

i turned 25 this week and life keeps on moving. still in the hustle and bustle of my twenties, and every once in awhile i’d seek comfort in familiar people and warm spaces. may this year bring us all peace and solace 🤍
