Fluffy White Rice

I love cooking and will attempt any recipe without hesitation.  That's not to say I haven't had my share of failures, but on the whole I can usually come out ok.  Cooking rice, however, is another matter completely.  It never comes out right.  I've tried numerous different methods but can't get it quite right.  Last night I made some and it was the worse I have ever eaten. Mushy mess. A flop. 

So it is my aim to cook perfect fluffy white rice.  I refuse to let it get the better of me.  Any tips?

Well back to lying on the settee (don't you just love Sundays?) and reading this -

Resistance

I've been sick all week with toncilitis.  Much better today though.

I am just finishing reading 'A Whisper To The Living' by Ruth Hamilton. It's been a great book.  The write up on the back said it is her first novel but seeing as I thrifted it, it was a fairly old copy.  I was hopeful of more so I googled her and am delighted to find that she has written a whole lot more since then.  So my reading list is now rather full at the moment but i am excited to start on the next one! But which to choose!

I know some of the covers look a bit corny but don't let that put you off! lol

Today i am also resisting a drive to the fabric shop.  It's about 30 minutes into the city centre and i really don't need to go but I want to.  I am telling myself that I really must use some of the stash first or even work on some on the projects I've started lately and abandoned half way through!  I will keep telling myself this of course until I give in and go anyway.........resist resist!
