I didn't eat anything today other than some cake at the Victorian Wedding Reception we did in English (we had to be in costume, and Paul looked like a ninja vampire), so when I got home I was hungry. I looked through the cupboards and realized that I bought stuff to make sticky rice. I love sticky rice. The directions said you can make it in the microwave, so I figured 'How hard can it be?'. The answer? VERY. It said I was supposed to put together half a cup of rice, a cup of water, and a tablespoon of butter. This is where I learned my first lesson about butter- once it's in the spoon it ain't comin' out. So i finally managed to get most of the butter into the bowl with the rice and water. The directions said that next I had to stir it all together. That's when I learned my second lesson about butter- unless it's hot, it doesn't mix with anything. So after five minutes of fruitless stirring (in which I lost even MORE butter) I gave up and put it in the micowave. Now the house smells delicious, but it's not done yet. WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG?!?!? Well, for now I'm happy sipping (okay, chugging) my green tea and waiting til I can go get my new FMA book (I'm still an FMA zombie slave). I just heard the buzzer!! Ta!

Update-
Uh...........heheh........... sweatdrop I killed not only the rice but my favorite bowl as well. I guess when they said you're supposed to cover the bowl, they didn't mean 'put a napkin on top of it'. I'm attempting batch #2 right now.......... xp
