The white rice that came with the curry was overcooked and flavorless.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday night, I heated up an Amy's Kitchen frozen <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amyskitchen.com\/products\/category_view.php?prod_category=12\">brown rice and vegetable bowl<\/a>. I've had them before and they were fine, but maybe I microwaved this one for too long or something, because although it still tasted okay, the rice had turned into a kind of porridge.<\/p>\n<p>Monday night, I decided to go for something different. So I stopped by La Coste&ntilde;a, where I haven't been in a while due to not living a couple blocks away any more. And I ordered a burrito, the same kind I've been ordering and enjoying for years.<\/p>\n<p>And the brown rice was kind of like a thick paste. Not awful, but not great.<\/p>\n<p>So now I'm beginning to wonder. I didn't expect much from rice at Hobee's, but three nights in a row of mushy rice from three different sources makes me think it must just be mushy rice week here in Mountain View, or something.<\/p>\n<p>(Come to think of it, I had risotto at an Italian place in downtown Mountain View on Thursday evening. That wasn't bad; not great, but the rice was roughly the texture I expect from risotto. Then again, that texture is mushier than most normal rice.)<\/p>\n<p>Tonight I'll have the second half of that burrito. Tomorrow I can't decide whether to try again to find some rice that isn't mushy, or whether to abjure rice for a while until it decides to stay firm.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday night, we had dinner at Hobee&#8217;s, where I ordered a curry dish.
