I seem to remember that rice packets used to say that you could cook
rice by putting it in a container with the required amount of water and
leaving it in the fridge overnight. Has anyone tried it and does it
work?

Any kinda rice that would "cook" that way ain't worth eating in my
estimation. You wouldn't be thinking "minute rice" or something equally
ghastly, would you?

AFAIK, in Australia they have a brand of rice which has on the front
"cook in the fridge". Yes, amazingly, it does work. You pour the boiling
water in, and cover it with cling wrap, and several hours later or the
next day, you have nice fluffy rice.

I've never had any success but then I may well be doing something wrong. My
mother said she had cooked rice that way, though never in my living memory.
That doesn't make her a liar, I just don't remember her having done it.

Do you start with cold, warm or hot water?

First off, I've never tried it. What I've read is to pour boiling
water over the rice in a 2:1 ratio. Cover tightly and cool to room
temperature. Then, refrigerate over night.

Have done this myself regularly. It works. Better in a container that will take boiling water and also has a lid for best results.

Who I share my bed with is none of your business! I will say that there will
be three of us later on. I'll just leave you wondering about that.

I was just checking out future-google to follow Miss Julie's
passionate courtship of Kuthe. Sheldon caters the wedding reception,
Gary is best man, Bruce is a bridesmaid, Wayne is godfather to the
triplets.

No more spoilers but here's a tip; you'll need a proper newsreader to

Eh-oh! You probably shouldn't have said that here, Julie!
Easy guess is that gardener and friend will be moving
in from back house to main house soon.

If you're happy though, so be it. :)

I remember that. Husband had his own separate bedroom.
He also sounded like a worthless tyrant too so seems to me
Julie is much better off without him.

Divorce is never fun but sometimes some end up in a better
situation. Julie seems to be handling all this quite fine. Bet
the husband will never find some other woman that will wait on
him hand and foot like Julie did.

They were talking about this on alt.usage.english. I think someone said
it had to do with a Google Groups app that doesn't quote by default.
Regular GG through a web browser does.

But the old thread thing is weird, and suddenly happening a lot. It was
always a bit of a problem. I don't know if the app is finding
"relevant" threads or something and presenting them to the users or
what.

It's not possible to auto quote in Google Groups mobile interface. That's a serious problem and makes posting from a mobile device impractical. I don't see the connection myself.

Mostly, people on newgroups just get upset whenever they see a post not in the format they expect. I suspect it's a personality defect and these folks simply have a hard time living in this new age.

Why these really old post appear is kind of a mystery. Your best bet is to study the folks that post them. Typically, they'll make a single post on a topic and disappear. My assumption is that it's some kind of research project on how people react to this situation. Perhaps these things are being posted by the Russians or Chinese i.e., the commies.

Very true. I don't use my laptop much anymore, maybe once a week. I like my laptop a lot, but I like my phone more.

When I want to post something here, I copy and paste what I am answering. It's not that hard to do, but as dsi1 said, it makes it impractical if you want to do a lot of posting.

I haven't tried it, but something along those lines is happening.

Well, I disagree with that. Most of the conventions are there for a
good reason, not just tradition. Things like this make it difficult to
figure out what the person is trying to say.

People on AUE claim it's people using GG and with Gmail addresses.
Possibly some service for people logged into Google. I have such an
account, and used Google Groups occasionally over the past few years
when I wasn't really reading usenet. I don't recall seeing anything.

Are you using the app? I notice that while you did include quoted
material, it doesn't have quote indicators (> or the like) or an
attribution line. Did you copy/paste that?

Not complaining at you, just trying to work out the nuances.

That answers the question I posting in reply elsewhere. Can't you use a
web browser and the regular GG interface? That would make your posts
look better.

This is the age of the mobile device. Usenet and everything else will change to accommodate that reality. This group will change too but it will go like some Chinese guy on a United airlines flight i.e., kicking and screaming.

The gmail accounts are being created solely for the purpose of posting old threads in a very limited way. Google Groups are being used for these type of posts because of its post retention goes way, way, back. I'm using Google Groups and can see the entire thread. It's kind of interesting to see these old posts.

When I see a post like that, it doesn't cause me to fret because I know what kind of interface they're using and what kind of device they're using to post. Knowledge is power. Where people can only see a problem, I see the why and how. Understanding is calming.

Sure, you can see them, but you have to find them first. If you just
access the group through the main GG interface, it's going to show
threads in update order. Normally you need to search to find an old.

But you can find really old stuff. I have located in the past my first
message. Properly, to alt.test, of course.

I don't typically go looking for old posts although they are easy enough to find. Just enter keywords and sort by date. However, I'm talking about random responses to really old posts. I can see the whole thread. I think that's pretty special...

Theres a simple answer for this. Google Groups posts show up in
regular Google search results. They click on that and they are taken
to the Google Groups web interface. If they are logged into Google at
the time it gives a Reply: box to type in their hare-brained comments.
Google makes it easy to be an idiot.

Type "cooking rice in the fridge" into google and see what you get -
first hit is the OP in this thread.

This is also why they don't revisit the thread or group. It's just a
drive-by posting.

Nopies. Wacky weed is legal here but the only kind I am familiar with
growing is the sativa and that doesn't do so well indoors.

Dear Lard! The tales you tell. I have birds, squirrels and at least one

and slugs. I have no husband and don't ever plan on having another. Making

I never tried growing it. I did look it up. I think Indica grows best here.
I do know people who use that. I'm not going to grow it though. We have a
very nice weed shop near here. Best in the area.

I tried commercial hummus once. From Trader Joe's. It was highly
recommended from someone here. Nasty stuff and a waste of money.

Also recommended here once was their "Triple ginger snaps" with
the tiny dollup of candied ginger on top. Good enough but still
not all that and overpriced. I still use that old container for
my cookie jar now though.

Been to Trader Joe's twice and 2 strikes. Probably won't ever go
again.
Never been to Whole Foods either but I won't comment until I do
try it.

I've never found a commerical hummus that tasted good, and as pointed out,
very easy to make.

I have had a couple commercially made hummus products recently that
weren't too bad, but more often they were horrible. I remember once
being offered a sample in the grocery store and it was so horrible that
I had to wonder why they would be letting people know how bad it was
because I could not imagine people buy it after having eaten a sample.

I discovered good hummus in a middle eastern restaurant that my son took
me to. After see how good it could be I decided to try making it. It was
so easy, and it was so good.

I went to TJ's twice. Second trip was 2 too many.

Whole foods is a yes for me though. It's due to only 2 main things
that has me driver there.

1) unique flours for bread making at the least expensive price
2) fancy ends of various cheeses you don't see elsewhere, cut to small
affordable taste tests.

If i am there for those things, I will also get some of the fresh
veggies and fruits

And it's so cheap to make it yourself.

There's a little "gourmet" place near me that sells a home-made type
hummus in 250 ml (1 cup) tubs. I say home-made because the lid has a
label that looks like it was done up on someone's home printer.

Anyway, it's all natural, vegan, organic, etc, justifying the $5 they
want for it.

But are you sure the beans were free range vegetables?
And were they certified non gmo?
Did the farm hands that harvest them smoke? That's a real killer for
special foods.
Did the various gods bless the humus after packaging?

I'm denying what you said, yeah. I'd say that most adults smoked it at least
once during the time frame that I mentioned. Smoking it a few times doesn't
make you a pothead.

It's not and I've never bought bad hummus yet. I prefer to make my
own, but sometimes life gets in the way. I might not have time to make
it, because I have to reply to Cshenkie or Dave Smith, for instance.

Because I have better things to do.

We have a large Middle Eastern population hereabouts, and some of the
commercial hummus is quite good.

Yes, but first i just wanted to try it when all the buzz started.

Now I make all sorts of variations that suit us well. Some may not
technically be Hummus? Can lentils be hummus? If so then that's what
I have making up right now. Out a lb on to simmer with tandoori
seasoning (suits us).

Go a bit more to the fancier side and it would be Dal.

Well in my case, I got a small tub to see if I would like it. I did
then I looked up recipes and started making it. That was probably 5
years ago and have a fair number of variations now that we like.

Since we make beans from dried all the time here, it's a natural leap
to sift out some and toss in the old blender to pulse lightly.

Tahini is just roasted sesame seeds and olive oil, tossed in the
blender then you add the beans. Not all hummus types use tahini.

Technically, no, because "hummus" is the word for "chickpeas". The
full name of the dish is "hummus bi tahini". Chickpeas with tahini.

Yes, and I'm tired of the sexual harassment. He just tried to define
it as a term of 'endearment' as if that makes it ok after I have told
him to cease for many months. It's not 'endearing' at all. It is
sexual harassment at this stage.

He's killfile material because neither I, nor anyone else has to put up
with that in their lives. It's just wrong.

Lol, you wish! I wouldn't sexually harass you if you begged me to.

And do people have to put up with "Now begone you pestulant bit of
pus"? Or is that "just wrong"?

Heaven forbid you change the behaviour that makes people filter you. I
have said before and will say again that changing your user name to get
past filters is a matter of throwing in the towel and admitting that you
are an asshole.

The ones who filter me are pompous people who take themselves too
seriously. They should change their behaviour, not me :)

People who call other people names, should also change their
behaviour.

It would appear otherwise, and you are the one who insists on being heard.

Only when they bitch about me. Otherwise, I accept that they felt the
need to killfile me :)
