That makes it at the same time easier and harder to deal with them being rather noisy at times; easier, because I know they don't do it on purpose, they really do not want to make me angry. But harder, too - it is exactly because they are so nice that I don't want to tell them off for being so noisy.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-43742128153357542272015-01-24T17:19:50.543+01:002015-01-24T17:19:50.543+01:00Lucky you, to have such nice neighbors!

I wouldn't want you to become ill even though you mocked me for not knowing what "mushing" means!<br />Uncooked rice can contain spores of Bacillus cereus, a bacterium that can cause food poisoning. When the rice is cooked, the spores can survive.If the rice is left standing at room temperature, the spores can grow into bacteria. These bacteria will multiply and may produce toxins that cause vomiting or diarrhoea.<br />The longer cooked rice is left at room temperature, the more likely it is that the bacteria or toxins could make the rice unsafe to eat.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-92192843004071114422015-01-23T17:26:20.902+01:002015-01-23T17:26:20.902+01:00Thankyou, that completes my purchases for today!
