    As an Australian of Indian origin, who eats rice every day, I wash rice three times in cold water till the water run clear upon washing. Also I wash rice in a big bowl and rinse the rice with hands in the water. This gets rid of the starch and impurities if any. Learned from my mother and grandmother. The best part is I collect the rinsed rice water and water my indoor plants. They seems to love the rice water. Nothing gets wasted :) Your Thai curry looks so delicious. I agree with you. You need to make the curry bolder in flavour to eat with rice. Rice absorbs the flavour of the curry. Benjamin is adorable. Love his money system and his face after tasting the lime. Sweet boy. Hope Samantha is doing better. Love from Australia

      WoW! Thank you for sharing this! I was raised on canned veggies only, and didn't learn the basics. I obviously learned throughout my life, but I've always had issues with rice, but I've never ever rinsed it! Actually, when I saw her rinse it in the video, a lightbulb went off in my head, and then I saw your comment here! I'm very very sensitive to toxins/chemicals as well, so I'm betting if I rinse my rice, I'll do just fine with it. This opens up a whole new world to me :) And I will absolutely use your rinsing method and use the water on my plants :)

      @@hismercysavessallysue5927 Some people use a large bowl, a whisk, and lots of water to really give the rice a good once over.
      You may find you only need to rinse it once or twice, instead of three times.

    Thanks for sharing this. Benjamin reminds me so much of my boy. He's 19 now and I wish I had videos like this to look back on. Both my kids have cooked with me since they were old enough to stand in a chair. It's where they learn basic applied math, the joy of creation, the appreciation for fresh ingredients, to listen to directions, pride in putting a meal on the table for people you love. I started watching your videos for plants, but your spirit and the relationship with you whole family is what hooked me. I never realized I could genuinely care about a family I had never met, but here I am.

    What a darling child you have there. All the subtle lessons he learns from you are really shaping his consciousness. Sneaking a math lesson in a shed tour is genius!!!

    I’m just gonna get in my green gator drive quickly to the grocery store 32 seconds and I have spinach carrots onion garlic cilantro everything I need to make one outstanding coconut curry. Wouldn’t it be nice if everybody could just walk into their backyard and have every ingredient needed. You’re such an inspiration and you can cook as well, Aaron’s lucky man.

  • @kerry-579
    @kerry-579 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I commented way too soon, Benjamin’s Blue house and his accruing money for trucks- just so precious! I cannot believe he is only 3 and a half years old. It’s so good that you ask him questions like you do and allow him to respond. You may do gardening videos but any young people watching are learning good parenting as well. And the Lord knows we need good parenting highlighted more often.

  • @teresa4973
    @teresa4973 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I was tearing up watching Benjamin talk at the end because my 2 boys are 20 and 22 now and it just makes you realize how fast they grow up... They're so sweet when they're that age ❤️ Then they become men 😁

    @nokesvillehaunt915 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Food stylist and culinary school instructor here! I think all rice should be rinsed until the water runs clear with the exception of a pilaf or risotto where you toast the rice first. Also the brand “Oxo” is pronounced “ox-o” 🐂 love everything about your channel! I swear we’d be friends in another life!

    I always wash/rinse short grain "sticky" or sushi rice because it has a lot of powdery starch in it from the polishing process. If you don't rinse it, it will be a mushy consistency. Long grain varieties (like jasmine) tend to be drier and less sticky though so it might not need to be washed 🤷‍♀️

I loved it from start to finish. I always rinse my rice. So sweet of you to share with mama and Dad too!! The end of the video with Benjamin talking had my face hurting from smiling so much. What an angel ❤️❤️❤️

    I think the show this morning was Benjamin. I love to hear his conversations. He really does have an old soul and his cooking skills are so on point. He probably could have cooked that by himself he looked like a master chef. I always love your content regardless of what it is. You are so down to earth and make all of us feel like we are a part of your videos. I’ll watch whatever you upload it doesn’t even matter. You even have me wanting to go antiquing I’ve never even considered that.

    I’d come do your cupboards! I love it when friends let me organise theirs. Unfortunately I’m in Scotland. I wish I’d leave the cupboards & get a handle on the gardening but I am learning from your channel and do get inspired by you guys. (Just maybe not today as the wind and rain is crazy here just now - chasing wheeling bins & getting soaked in your jammies in the wee small hours kinda weather.) Am excited for your Autumn/Christmas decorative projects which is how I got hooked, but like everybody says I’d watch you lot tie your shoes because you are lovely. Many would happily watch your pantry organisation too, I hope it goes well - you’ll love it when it’s all bonny.
