M&M Pretzel

I don't like these. They are almost soggy and not enough salt.

How does Dairy Queen stay in business?

Last week stopped by and got a blizzard. Very few pieces of stuff in my blizzard and the ice cream was so soft I had to drink it. They took over Orange Julius and that doesn't even taste the same.

What is your favorite hard to find candy?

Mars bars. I just found out that Snickers Almond is the same thing, but it doesn't taste the same. I also loved the taffy that came in the long bars in bright colors.

I have very rarely shopped at one of these, but found myself in one today. They had some different food packages. Is there anything there worth trying?

Rice . . .

I love rice from Chinese restaurants, but I can never make my rice taste the same. I use a rice cooker but the rice is also gummy or mushy.

I also love fried rice, but every time I make it, it tastes like gummy soy sauce. Ick.

I am also interested in other types of rice and how to use it.

Please give me your best rice tips and advice!
