best food ever

oh man, this weekend i made jook. also known as congee. which i believe translates (actually, i looked this up once and it's actually an indian name? anyway...) to rice gruel. which sounds boring and bland, but it's not, and i could probably eat this for a month straight. i'm very pleased how well it turned out, good as mom's. (3 cans chicken soup, 1.5 cans water, 1 cup rice, 1 ham bone. although i ended up removing 1 cup of liquid due to space limitations in my ikea cookware, and simmer for a long time until the rice magically expands! and the meat falls off the bone.)
i also made rice flour muffins from home baking, which came out quite well, if a bit oily, but i'm going to try to send them to my sister, so that's probably a good thing. i am hoping they'll survive the postal service though.
