Is your meal ever complete without rice?

When I was younger, I always wanted to go to America because I've always been fascinated with their culture, and lifestyle.
But when I got older, and opportunities to go abroad have opened up for me, I've slowly realized that nothing can beat home despite the many wonderful things foreign countries can offer. That's how I became "suki".

Back to rice, LOL, I've been thinking of the first thing I'll purchase when I get somewhere outside Philippines -- rice cooker.:-D

wow! you mean you went to abroad already?

No...no....just opportunities. They haven't been realized yet. LOL. But my fellow nurses who are already abroad will always tell me that the first thing they missed was rice.

Do you know that feeling that you'll never miss the water until it's gone? Im starting to feel that now even if I haven't left.:-(

hehehe..oh I see..what year are you now?

hi aisa, im done with nursing already. I graduated last 2005.

I bet you'll survive just about anywhere. But I heard that our modern lifestyle has caused us to poorly nourished. Pourly nourished being, deficient in the eessential nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Being obese doesn't exempt anyone from being called poorly nourished in contrary to what we've always known.

*allow me to make the necessary corrections so you won't think I flunked my English subject.LOL. I meant to say, "to be poorly nourished". And poorly instead of "pourly". LOL. Thanks for bearing with me. I typed so fast.

Even with the increase in prices per kilo, Rice will always be rice and no "kamote" or any root crop, bread, or corn can ever replace it. Right? I can say it with so much conviction that nothing can beat rice!

yes!!! its like we cant get full if we dont eat rice. i can eat corn or kamote all day and still need to eat rice. its like i dont have enough energy if i dont eat rice. but i dont eat rice anymore if its past 6 in the evening so i wont get that fat

I tried that before-6 diet but I didn't do well because at 8 o clock I became hungry again so I ended up eating two suppers. LOL. I'm hopeless.

I agree, it's never fully satisfying without rice.

Yeah, like I always tell myself, nothing can beat the goodness of rice!

Those things you said sounds unique and tasty. Hmmmmm....Im starving.

I think it's the carbs from other food sources that makes you crave less for rice. But for me, nothing is as good as rice. Although carby foods tend to fill me up faster.

So that's the reason for the chicky pose on your avatar!You're on a diet!

Anyway, you know what, I get gastritis out of eating too much bread so I got back to rice.

Hahaha! I'm constantly trying to lose weight. Especially now. My boyfriend told me to try and lose weight in 3 months, before he comes home for a vacation. Geez. I didn't know eating too much bread can cause gastritis.

Yah, I don't know. I just get that acidic feeling in my stomach after eating bread. It's probably the baking powder or egg or milk. I really can't tell.

Aiza must have a stomach that of a dinosaur when bread wasn't invented yet. Lol!

Thanks modstar, I know you'll get back at me for accusing you of kidnapping crazy's saleslady. LOL.

I wish I were a dinosaur so I could throw up eaten bread on your face! LOL. It'll be the next Great Flood.

hi i seriously think you should try the riceless diet because I did that before and I lost a lot of weight in just two weeks. However, the problem with that is that you seem to be constantly hungry and you can't sustain if nobody can motivate you or no one is dieting along with you. I was motivated before because my bestfriend was so dedicated to it that iin 2 week's time she was able to wear her younger sister's jeans. I also reduced but since I was really bigger than her before the diet, I wasn't able to reach what she has achieved.

I agree. IT's never the same without rice. I mean I can get by without rice for one meal in a day. But the next meal has to have rice.
