Multitasking. I usually don’t have trouble with multitasking. I can chat on the phone with my mom about the latest while sprinkling Critter Ridder powder all over my garden. (Pesky chipmunks.)

But I have found that I only like brown rice “fresh.” Therefore, I typically don’t make “extra”, unless I’m [...]
