Reply to comment by Helios4242 in LPT: boil rice until it’s almost fully cooked, drain, then return to pan, cover and steam on low heat for 10 mins. Tastes much better than boiling, draining and serving. by circumlocutious

Have you had Iranian rice?it is so so light and fluffy..

There is always an extra step.. after par cooking the rice . It is al dente.. firm but crushes easily between your fingers... empty any excess water... take a fry pan .. line with oil and thinly sliced potato or pita bread..place rice on-top and cook on a low to medium heat which streams the rice.

The rice will be so so fluffy

As someone with OCD, I care if my fitted sheets are folded. Sometimes I can’t even function if I don’t do tasks such as cleaning (including folding my fitted sheets)

You don’t have to, but it’s the safest way (peeling away from you).

Knowing my klutzy self I’d end up somehow shanking myself if I opted to peel both ways.

Played tennis for years. I enjoy pickleball significantly more. Pickleball is also easier for kids and newbies to pick up.

Reply to LPT simplest formula for career success: make sure your boss looks good to their boss. by jursla

I agree with this in general. There are pros and cons to being a high performer and "wearer of many hats" (even better moreso if any of those hats are an essential part of operations). One pro is that you are less expendable and seen as more of a value to an organization. A con is the likelihood of getting pigeonholed into something you can't grow out of, or the company has no one else qualified to do.

Just as much as you should dress for the job you want, also don't dress for the job you don't want...meaning don't be so good at something you don't love or want to do, but are also coincidentally proficient at. That's an easy way to get stuck in a position and hit that career plateau that is ever so soul-sucking.

But on the other hand, the "jack of all" is also usually of the last lot to go on the chopping block and is seen more as an asset to overall operations-continuity.

I've weathered a few mass downsizings in my career beginning with the dot com crash and they are never fun. So I guess my advice to add is also be available and assertive to try out different roles and responsibilities, starting with what makes your boss happy and look good. I've gone from a one of several technical writers to having 3 different business cards for the same company to represent the various roles I performed. It wasn't what I signed up for, but I lasted through a lot of downturn until I left that company after 11 yrs. Anyway, tmi probably.

Reply to LPT dump silverware on counter from dishwasher bin before putting into utensil tray in drawer by avidoger

Having 2 or 3 silver baskets makes it even eaiser - one can sit in sink and silver popped right in at point of use. Or a clean basket of silver can sit out to pull from when needed. Saves on loading time and unloading time!
