My husband vs. the kitchen

I begged Steve to let me post this chat. He said no one else would think it was funny, but I disagree. You be the judge. Also, if you have stories like this (about, I don't know, a husband or someone...), share the wealth!

So without further ado, I give you Steve (makes a mean omelet but is not quite Emeril) vs. the Kitchen.

(Also, I promised to post 10 sweet things about Steve to make up for teasing him just a little. Coming soon.)

2:49 PM Steve: miss you

ps - i can make rice just like spaghetti, right?

2:50 PM me: huh?

Steve: boil the water, leave it in until it sticks on the wall

or do i have to use the rice cooker?

2:52 PM me: you don't have to use the rice cooker

but don't throw rice at the wall

and you use way less water

if you cook 1 cup of rice, use 2 cups of water

bring it to a boil, then put the temperature on low and leave it alone for 1/2 hour

2:53 PM Steve: ok, thanks love

that long?

9 minutes

3:02 PM me: yeah

3:03 PM Steve: ok little one

all the water disappeared so i put a bunch more in

i didn't want the top ones to be crispy

3:05 PM me: that's why you turn it on low

it just steams for a while

3:06 PM some people turn the stove off after it boils. that works too.

3:07 PM Steve: ok :) should i drain it?

should i have put a lid on it?

3:08 PM me: ... yes... sorry - I guess I should have specified.

lid = necessary

draining = no. the water should all be absorbed into the rice

3:09 PM Steve: and if i have too much water and haven't used a lid?

like making spaghetti?

3:10 PM me: yeah, then I guess you'd want to drain it

let me know how it turns out

Steve: sure love

its been going half hour so far

11 minutes

3:22 PM Steve: soggy...

3:23 PM me: yeah...I thought probably.

Steve: o well, it's ok

me: I'm sorry love. Maybe you should stick to the rice cooker next time

...

can I blog this chat?
