About
When I was growing up my mother used to cook rice in a big black earthen pot on a log fire.If she had to step outside the kitchen while the rice boiled, she would ask me to keep an eye on it.I would sit and watch fascinated by the crackle of the log fire and gurgling sound of the rice dancing in the water. Sometimes the foam would rise furiously in the pot and, unless quick action was taken, the rice would boil over, losing a good amount of grain and dousing the log fire. To prevent this all I had to do was sprinkle a few drops of cold water on the foam as it began rising in the pot. The rice would miraculously settle down and continue its gurgling within the confines of the pot.
In these times of stress, I will share some of those cool drops of water to keep you from boiling over..
