I don't know about Julie or why she can't cook rice when someone in her
house wants some. Speaking for myself, I was preparing enough rice for
several meals and freezing portions of it to take to work for lunch, as
a side dish.

For example, if I made a chuck roast or beef tips with gravy, I'd have a
packet of cooked rice to go with it. (Of course I also portioned and
froze some of the meat/gravy.) Add a portion of frozen vegetables.
Nuke it, there was a complete meal for lunch. Most everyone else went
to Burger King or some other fast food place. Homemade lunch is better!
