[Sca-cooks] cooking rice

[Kathleen A. Roberts]

you can indeed get old rice that will not cook, even after hours. 
happened at a feast i was helping. someone got it in a huge bag from the 
local oriental grocery... to save $$$, of course.

however... it was a DEEE-sas-TER!   then they tried to let it steam done in 
a cooler... which didn't work.   the folks added the cheese and other gunk 
to it then with high hopes.

nope.  zip, zilch, nada.   then they tried to reheat it and cook it with 
the cheese in it....

sigh...

i learned SO much that day...........  especially to stand out of the line 
of fire when folks are insistent on shooting themselves in the foot (feet?).
