I'm still cooking on electric, but spent a week cooking with a friend's gas stove after ten years without and was dissapointed that water took forever to boil. LOL. I don't think we are going back to gas even though you need to gague cooking carefully.

My oldest is 7, and I'm already worried about the mine field that is middle school! I sometimes wish they'd announce the Dorie recipes earlier so that I could do all my sopping at once.

Grocers try to tell me they are "seasonal" or give other excuses...I usually think they don't know what they are talking about. Anyway, glad you found the right rice...made all the difference and fun to try with this method. Glad you are settling in and that your son seems to have adjusted. Moving is always hard.

I guess one never knows what the ''problem'' ingredient is going to be, last week I had a heck of a time finding corn for corn soup!<br /><br />I can also commiserate on the subject of electric stoves, I hate them! They really are the worst inventions ever, I end up burning everything when I am forced to use them. With no gas hookup we ended up buying an induction for our apartment, which is better, but I still miss my old gas range. Oh well.<br /><br />Your rice looks very tasty!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275670134864038291.post-59833451405028134312011-09-09T07:22:41.949-07:002011-09-09T07:22:41.949-07:00Love the burner covers - and who knew that Arborio...Love the burner covers - and who knew that Arborio rice would be the panic item of the week. <br />Good luck to your boy on X-C.
