The final verdict?

FROZEN RICE

I was blown away.  Took the rice out, put it in the microwave for about 90 seconds.  It came out steamy and hot and as fresh as fresh can be.  I would say it tastes like it JUST came out of the rice cooker!  so if anyone comes over to my place you’ll find bags of rice in my freezer =D

I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to make more than 1 cup of rice at a time but can’t eat it all within a day.

So last weekend I went home to have lunch with my dad and I grabbed some rice out of the fridge and it was still moist and soft. I thought he had made it earlier in the day but after I asked him he said it was made two days ago. TWO DAYS AGO! Usually after one day in the fridge the rice is all hard and dry. So how did he do it? I have no idea.

On that note I decided to start with my own experiment. Last night I made rice. (Usually if I leave it in the rice cooker for more than a day the rice goes bad and smells all nasty is mushy and stuff). When the rice cooker beeped telling me it was ready I split into three portions:

1. in a lunch box that’s not completely air tight

2. in a sandwich bag

3. in another sandwich bag

I let the hot rice cool for like an hour then I put the lunch box and one of the sandwich bags in the fridge and the last sandwich bag in the freezer. That’s right the freezer… supposedly that’s even better! I shall see.

So today I’m eating my lunch from the lunch box rice and I have to say it’s like half dry and half moist. No where close to my dad’s rice but much much muuuuch better than dried out rice. I’m curious to see how my fridge rice in a sandwich bag will taste tonight!

stay tuned for updates and possibly pics!

My half eaten lunch today.

Went to the Orange county fair opening weekend and it was FUN!

This one of my favorite photos from the day.  Mexican Funnel cakes, chocolate covered bacon and a dude wearing a shirt that says “Totally Fried” haha.

If you read the little board it says

“If you can finish one it’s FREE”  I wonder if that guy ate one.  Anyways the day was pretty warm but Angela and I had a grea time.  We even got to try deep fried oreos.  They were good but not all that it was all hyped up to be.  Made me think of Oreo Cakesters (even tho i’ve enver had one).

That’s all for now.  Going up to norcal this weekend!  I”m super excited wooooooooooooooooo!

Happy Birthday Adrian.

You show that column who’s SEXY!

Happy 27th birthday buddy!

More Reasons for Eating Small Frequent Meals

Even if you’re not trying to lose weight, there are good reasons for eating 5 or more small meals daily rather than the traditional, larger 3 meals a day.

• Headaches, fatigue and even poor sleep can be signs of low blood sugar levels. By eating every 3 to 4 hours, you can keep your sugar levels steady and reduce these common health problems.
• Eating regular meals promotes better digestion and can reduce constipation and acid indigestion.
• Small frequent meals aid in weight loss because keeping blood sugar levels steady helps reduce food cravings, bingeing and overeating.

Actually it’s Avon Anew clinical!  Totally looks like Regenerate from the Resident evil movie:

Went to the piano bar last night “howl at the moon” in chicago. I did not appreciate being rubbed up by a nasty ass cougar.

So every year we need to fill out our “path to success” here at work.  Basically setting a list of goals we want to achieve this year.  The idea is great and all but I do have a problem with it especially since I’m in the engineering group.  They want something that’s “measurable and time bound”

For those that aren’t familiar with the engineering field these two things are near impossible to predict or measure.  What am I supposed to say?   “Fix 10 on-air issues per month?”  “Fix issues within 1 day? 2 days?”  This stuff is totally variable.  In my job there’s usually 10 issues at once or no issues at all.  Some stuff is resolved in minutes and other stuff can take weeks.  So fine, I’m looking at the forms and there’s a pre-set list of suggestions for “measurable and time bound” objectives.  I click that options and has a section for each dept (i.e. HR, IT, marketing, sales… etc)  EXCEPT ENGINEERING.  Ugh.  I’ll figure something out.  Maybe one of objectives should be “Finish this path to success by Friday”
