Wait till they get to orbital camping! (Camping in space).

No..nope...uh uh...

^Your SO's expression when you make him go upstairs after doing a squat track because you both heard a heavy thud from that region and your own cursory look revealed zero cause so he needs to make sure there isn't a serial killer hiding in one of the attic crawl spaces because you know for absolute certain it's either that or an invisible were cougar on the roof stalking the place.

No..nope...uh uh...

It'll be okay. I'll hold your hand. *nods*

And no doubt @hotwords229_A will offer to hold . . . something.

I got the Wow face.

But you know he would.

There seems to be a trick to cooking with saffron.

 

[Wand3rlust]

I don't think I ever have.

You put it in water first. Or something like that.

Follow me for more absolutely useless tips.

Nor have I. My conclusion at this point is that I don't care for it in kheer.

I eventually discovered this. Which would have been good to know earlier. Otherwise, it kinda tastes like dirt.

Seems you can toast it, too.

Ooooooh. Can't wait!

kheer ? . . . had to look it up . . . are you using rice, cracked wheat, vermicelli, sago, or tapioca ?

My research also include an interesting piece of historical folklore:

A story from Kerala titled "The Legend of Chessboard", holds that an old sage, who was Krishna in disguise, challenged the king of Ambalapuzha (chess enthusiasts) to a game. To motivate the sage, the king offered anything the old man would name. The sage modestly asked for a few grains of rice but with one condition: the king must put a single grain of rice on the first chess square and double it on every subsequent one.

Krishna, as the sage, won the game and the king started placing the grains. As he stacked them, he was shocked to see the number grow exponentially. In the end, the number came up to trillions. Krishna reveals himself and asks the king to provide kheer to every pilgrim who comes to what is now the Ambalapuzha Krishna Temple in the Alappuzha District, which still follows this command.

Rice. Broken jasmine, to be exact.

Great folklore story! India would be a charming place to visit, I suspect.

Why is it that when you buy a bag of lemons, it's like you turn your back on them for a hot second and one lemon in the bunch goes bad.

It's a conundrum.

Caffeine consumption can actually make you feel colder. All that constriction of the blood vessels.
