I really try to follow directions, but am learning that sometimes, gut instinct works best. :-) I love Goldie Hawn also and this is one of my most favorite movies. We watch it all the time and it just never gets old! She has such a great onscreen personality!Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-10426711093334925062015-08-23T16:03:44.616-05:002015-08-23T16:03:44.616-05:00HAHAHAHA!

I typically don't cook rice per the directions since it can be quite different from the picture. I typically cook rice the same way regardless of the type of rice. I may add more water when cooking brown rice. Side note---Overboard!!! I love that movie. It's one of my favorites, but I am partial to any Goldie Hawn movie. :)Stephanie @ Casa Watkins Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983544693568298982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-77371836576735210212015-08-21T07:24:16.320-05:002015-08-21T07:24:16.320-05:00It is one of my favorites….we watch it just about ...It is one of my favorites….we watch it just about every time it is on!

I was just so disappointed and frustrated. I should have noticed that it was sticky rice, but I was too enamored with the color and imagining how pretty it would be.

It sounded interesting, but the cooked rice by itself, I couldn't eat it.
