Enjoy the rice.

Klara,
My penmanship I'm sure will be just as illedgeable...lol.
As far as cooking rice goes...well, I'm going on my third day and feel like quite the brown rice cook/expert.
Lets see...what will I have for lunch : )
I was hoping to catch a few blurbs here and there as to how and do this right but see little. Hopefully the books I ordered from Amazon will be here today especially "You Are San......
Spose its not all that difficult to figure out. Eat rice and drink bancha after each bowl. I'm adding no gomasio or anything to anything. I'm thinking that defeats the purpose of balancing in a detox.
I'm doing 3/4 cup of uncooked rice (don't worry, I cook it before I eat it).
My first few meals it was too mushy...echhhhh. Trying to get the hang of the new pressure cooker. My last meal...this morning...came out perfect.Just a little better than mushy and not quite as firm as I'd cook it after the ten days. I chew the hell out of each stix full too.
Couldn't figure out wheater or not to add honey to my bancha...too yin?
So I'm doing with out it which turns out...feels and tastes just fine : )
Its an interesting process. I'm observing myself every once in a while...usually when I get hungry.I'm real happy I'm doing this before I get into meals with variety. It kind of reminds me of going to Antiqua when I did rehab at Claptons place this past May, The Crossroads. The roughest seas were before the sunrise and when I think back...they weren't really rough at all...when you learn and walk forward its always a celebration even if it may not feel that way...sooooooo...I'm looking at the rice and tea thing in that regard.
Its also intersting at night when I'd just love a handful of Cheese-Its or Tomatoe and sprouts on some toasted 12 grain.....mmmmmmm. I get the shakes cause I won't do that..lol. Its like trying to quit drinking....really!!
I did the no drinking thing pretty easily all things considered. USed all I learned in the past from my meditation to my writings (therepy for me) to all my past 54 yrs of experiances...and put them into action...finally...hey, ya gotta restart somewhere. Actually I think we're always restarting cause just when you think you have it right : )
Be well
Namaste'
