 While I agree with your overall statement, I just have to ask, are you
boiling your rice and then draining it?  Every pot of rice I have ever
cooked took 2 - 2 1/2 times the amount of water to rice, except methods
where the rice is cooked in the water, then strained. (I think I heard
once that this was a 'Northern' way to cook rice, but that's not how we
did it when I lived in Michigan, or how my family from Indiana or Ontario
did it.  Just wondering.  (Granted, it needs to be cooked rice for
filler.)
