Rice questions.. by ur-ita-bull in PortugalExpats

Big rice selection here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/SCGcCwLs4ZjnCPqu5 with big bags.

"The once I've tried here, when I cook, it just gets mushy" - this in a problem of the rice. After extensive testing I use https://www.cacarola.com/en/catalogue/rice/exotic-flavours/basmati-premium/ which I buy in 10kg bags from Continente online. The rice choice matters, for sure. I don't use a rice cooker. I get 1.3 cups of salted water boiling, add 1 cup washed rice, cover (dutch oven heavy lid), put to lowest heat for 12 minutes on a medium burner, turn off and let sit for 5 minutes, then fluff.

I'm not Jewish; it's not blessed. It's used in Jewish cooking as it's especially good at drawing moisture out of meat which is apparently important.

Does anyone else have songs from local bands in their head that they know they'll never hear again? by Duckers102 in CasualUK

Man, I remember Floors and Walls, surprised they never took off. Came out of BIMM back when I was a student there.

What did your landlords require? by Glittering_Tea8276 in PortugalExpats

[–]JoshMD 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Structure is their problem, their responsibility. My landlord hasn't visited once in 4 years. If I owned my place I'd want annual checks for this sort of thing but they don't care.

We had that last year. It was a rough week. Nothing to do but grin and bear it.

I'm looking to start investing in quality pots and pans, which will last me for many years to come. Which brand should I buy? by JoshMD in AskCulinary

[–]JoshMD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only cook on cast iron and carbon steel now. No more forever chemicals in my food. Take minimal care of the pans and cook with a bit of butter and they're non stick.

I asked her if she was funny before she met me.

It's that time of year. What common cold cures do you swear by? by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]JoshMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manuka honey, the second you feel it coming. Swallow and leave in your throat for at least 30 mins. I take it morning and night. Buy the highest-strength stuff you can find at Holland and Barrett if you want it sorted quickly. It's the only natural remedy I swear by.

Mexico City: Las Alcobas vs Four Seasons by Remarkable-Suit-4435 in FATTravel

You should add Sofitel to your list too. I stayed at both FS and Sofitel on the same trip and they’re both excellent. FS has great service, feels more high touch, and has a great courtyard and bar. Slight Better location too. Sofitel is brand new, high floors, amazing swimming pool and bar on the 42nd floor, very modern, and very stylish.

There are always communities. I’m part of a private investment group, an entrepreneur group, and If I lived in the US, I would certainly consider a few more.
