Will this still work with an addition of a shot of whiskey?

My sneezing around my partner’s dog causes her dog to freak out. Head shoots up in the air and staring at me to see my next move, like she’s (dog) on edge. She also reacts similarly to my yawns.

There are multiple ‘right ways’ that exist

Dogs sneeze when they're really happy or when they're play fighting to show they aren't a threat.

My Iranian friend and flatmate taught me to rinse the rice until the water runs clear, boil the rice in abundant salted water until just undercooked, drain, add a bit of oil to rhe bottom of the pan and then cover with thinly sliced potato, top with the drained rice and cover with a lid wrapped in a tea cloth. The potato will crisp and the teacloth will absorb excess steam. The crispy bottom is called the tahdig and it is coveted and delicious. The rice will be perfectly grain-by-grain. There are a few different tahdig methods but this is the one we'd do.
If you want to be fancy dye a bit of the finished rice with saffron water. Pile the rice on a platter and add the crispy potatoes around the base, top the mound with saffron rice.
There is a whole LPT about exploring persian cuisine if you're unfamiliar with it. It's nothing like other cuisines I had tried before, the stews are rich, fragrant and tangy, often achieved from dried limes or pomegranate molasses. I just made fesenjan, a walnut stew with pomegranate molasses, for our Christmas dinner and it was divine!

Reply to comment by enokioyster in LPT: If you are feeling lonely this holiday season, consider volunteering for an organization that helps your fellow humans (or unfortunate animals). If at first you don't like it, try a different organization. It may take a few tries to find out what truly feels good. by ilovemybaldhead
This made me tear up. I have a hard time being excited about my future. Makes me happy that you got there! 🥹

I use a double lid Donabe stoneware rice cooker. It's amazing, makes perfect rice, and is easy to clean. There's also lines inside to gauge your rice to water ratio, so no measuring.

Reply to comment by i_know_tofu in LPT: this holiday season remember to send a message to your elderly relatives. by derpieherpie
I wish, for a change, my elderly relatives would take the initiative to send me a holiday message first. It seems they only send one in response to me sending one. Why doesn't it work both ways? Not trying to be snarky or selfish, just wondering why age matters when it comes to letting people know you're thinking of and care about them.
