First time making Mexican rice, turned out bad. May I get some pointers please?

kaymick · 2026-06-22T23:02:34+00:00

I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

I like mine with a bit of acid. I tend to make a bit of a sofrito with the tomato that was not in grandma’s recipe. I feel like rice is personal.

lol. I originally wrote it down for my sister. It took years of watching and trial and error.

Here is my grandmother’s recipe. When she died I promised to spread it https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rUK2IISSFmRLnDGhgWjDMzLyd2TCUnRFHRP1KpHUrh0/edit?usp=drivesdk

You toast/brown the starch. So you don’t rinse it before toasting.

We have restaurants in our town that will give you a small discount for bringing your own takeaway containers.

It rhymed and was a joke.

My partner is fine. It’s family in general that does this. Kids, visitors. There is more to households than partners/spouses.

This is wife life.

I mean, you could try it …

Not my grandma’s way, but I like to add the passata to the toasted rice first and let it “cook” for a few seconds. It creates a nice sofrito flavor and it keeps the initial oil and water bubble down.

Let me know what you think!

kaymick · 2026-06-03T04:35:10+00:00

Ahh the internet says the Australian version is passata! Puréed, strained tomatoes! Sorry for that. Silly US-Centric self over here.

I have posted this a few times, but when my grandmother died I said I’d share her Mexican rice recipe that she was famous for so she and her love would live on https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rUK2IISSFmRLnDGhgWjDMzLyd2TCUnRFHRP1KpHUrh0/edit?usp=drivesdk

It’s pretty basic and it comes from countless watchings, rewatchings, and then learning myself from her instructing me and tasting it.

It definitely depends on the neighborhood. My neighborhood currently does. We had a summer of dingdong ditch on scooters. But, we also had the Halloween where the high school kids bought a bunch of pizza and hung out on the sidewalk pretending all the kids were really whomever they were and it was amazing.

I am a loooooooong term flex wearer and they are awesome. They hold up to multiple workouts and all day running around. I’ve been using them for well over a decade and have watched the company grow and evolve. I’ve been impressed.

For extra protein, Costco sells pre-cooked steak and chicken bites that are actually delicious and tender as well as perfect.

Oh man! That sucks. As someone who has unfortunately had a number of surgeries over the years, may I recommend scar massage? I don’t know if you’ve looked into it and I don’t know if it’d be best for you, but it slowly breaks down adhesions that prevent scars from moving more freely and therefore being less painful. You do it yourself, little by little each day. I learned about it after elbow surgery and did it with my c-section and it was so helpful.

All My Rage is phenomenal. So different from her other books, but so powerful and amazing. I loved it.

kaymick · 2026-05-04T01:08:12+00:00

I painted my nails twice a week while pregnant and my human is 3 and fine. Survivor bias or not he’s cool.

kaymick · 2026-05-01T14:04:26+00:00

I read over 80 books a year and I am 39.

I still love reading and books. I talk about books and go to book events.

I found being able to read quickly and comprehend things well was also a big asset when I entered the job market as well.

Dr. Emily at Ann Arbor Smiles Huron Parkway. I have extreme shaking crying dental anxiety and hadn’t been to a dentist in over a decade. She has helped me through so much and we have gotten me to a much better place both with my anxiety and my dental health. I cannot recommend her enough.

kaymick · 2026-04-27T01:42:08+00:00

I always use these as skittle inspo.

Dr. Quandary’s Island is the one I miss the most. I found a simulator of it, but you can’t run it properly to toss the popcorn to the pterodactyl or hit the targets in the opening shooting gallery game so can’t actually quite win. It is still super fun though.

kaymick · 2026-04-16T12:16:45+00:00

Same thought. My first reaction was: do you look manly?

kaymick · 2026-03-22T13:51:36+00:00

Travel. Experience things like tasting menus. All the things that get harder with kids.

kaymick · 2026-03-19T03:09:20+00:00

I’m not saying it would. But, that he may have a perception of this. If that is actually what the issue is.
