Do you want to know how to cook rice so it's not starchy?

Rinse the rice under cold water before you put it in the pan.
Rinse it till the water runs clear.
Put the rice in a pan and cover with boiling water so the water goes about 2cm above the rice.
Cook it on a medium heat till the water disappears and you get air bubbles in it then lower it to a low heat, put a lid on and leave for about 10mins.
Don't stir the rice at any point.
Don't take the lid off once you put it on.

Doesn't it stick to the pan though?

It does but because it's only on a low heat it's not welded on. Just soak it for half an hour, it'll be fine.

MTV's The Maxx

As we walk back home, my mind wanders across all the only, misguided people in this dark city. Lots of other people could use my help, but somehow, I always come back to old Maxx. Jeez, the poor guy doesn't have a clue. Everytime he gets into trouble, he goes into this, "in another world I was protecting my jungle queen" crap. Can't blame the guy though. If I was a purple, homeless guy, I guess I'd reduce my social worker to a bikini-clad jungle bimbo who needs my help too. At least in his dreams he's some kind of super-hero.

In a perfect world... spammers would get caught, go to jail, and share a cell with many men who have enlarged their penisses, taken Viagra and are looking for a new relationship.
