too tired to cook rice, so a Note to Self....

 So I ate bread and butter and then sat around a while getting up energy to get some stirfry out of the freezer, which I ate late still with no rice or other starch.

Note to self: Next time I do cook rice, make it a larger batch, and put some in the freezer to use when I'm too tired to cook rice. Package it separate from anything else, so I can cook fresh rice with my stirfry or whatever each time I do have the energy to cook rice.

Himself batch-cooks lop gai and freezes rice and all in each one-serving container. I think that hurts the quality of the rice. But having some separate containers of rice for the times when less quality is better than no rice at all -- is the Way of 80-20!

crockpot, the semi-nuclear option

After me a few days away from the kitchens, the pot was full of vegetables for veg stock, which had all got problematic. Any texture or taste left? Likely to spoil? If I gave the veg to the chickens, what to do with the liquid? I don't want to think about sorting this out! I just want the pot empty so I can start over with this big hunk of failed expensive roast right now!

No-brains needed: dump the whole veg/stock thing into a gallon plastic bag, label, and freeze in the "Veg Need Work" drawer.
