    “Why did you make my food so hot and hard to get too. It’s hurting me!” *takes another bite “it’s still hurting me!”

      Molten cheese burning the top of your mouth. Then you have that tiny flap of burnt mouth top hanging down for the rest of the evening.

        “Burnt mouth” cracked me up 😂 I always just called it burnt skin but never talked to anyone about it, so it was enecpected to see it be called something else

        I happened to have a dentist appointment the day after doing exactly that. The hygenist and dentist enjoyed some playful banter at my expense regarding the painful joy of hot fresh pizza

      People who pre-set their rice cooker. Common in Asian countries/cultures.

      okay, so my rice takes 7 minutes to come to temperature, 12 minutes to cook, and 15 minutes to cool properly (that is important). i can rush it and get bad rice in 20 minutes or good rice in 35. maybe i want to wake up to rice.

      I think some rice cookers popular in Asia do have features to keep it warm, activate at a certain time etc. Perhaps you want cooked rice for breakfast (perhaps already cooled down but still moist and fluffy), or have it prepared so you can make Sushi later while taking a nap. Can definitely see the usecase in a food culture with lots of rice.

          I have a cousin that made a turkey sandwich while waiting for pizza rolls to bake, all in his sleep. It was weird to watch. He had no idea the next morning when he woke up snuggling with it all in bed. To this day he swears we did it to him.

            My partner once sleepwalked into the kitchen to get food (bad habit of sleep eating, probably due to alcohol) and I just watched them because they were talking nonsense so I knew they were asleep. My sister was also a big sleepwalker/sleep talker, so this was fairly routine for me.

            At the end they offered a plate and said “here, do you want some?”

            They had unboxed a new wireless NES-style controller that had been sitting on the counter, plated the controller, and offered to me as a snack. Had no memory of it the next morning.

            Been a running joke ever since when we try to decide what to eat.

        is it possible to get rice cookers that don’t default to a warming mode? Even the cheapest rice cookers I’ve found in the UK only have a cook and warm mode when it’s plugged in

          Most decent rice cookers have a time delay option. You load it up with water and rice and set a couple hours of delay and then in the morning you have fresh hot rice.

      I’m going to guess you didn’t come from an Asian household? There’s almost always a rice cooker running or on keep warm. The kids find it weird when there’s no rice immediately available. Also, it keeps the bacteria at bay while you’re taking a nap.

      Mine eats any and all carbs. Rice, bread, potatoes, sweet potatoes, peas, triscuits…

      She turns her nose up at raw salmon though. Such a weirdo.

        Don’t cats get the equivalent of lactose intolerance when they eat carbs? I thought they basically can’t digest carbs.

          Maybe you’re thinking about the obligate carnivore bit with cats?

            My coworker showed me how her cat tore into a loaf of bread and then had horrible farts after that.

              I bet it’s the complex carbs. So potatoes, brown bread, and cereals won’t digest at all, while chips and white bread won’t be as bad.

              I don’t think all cats have the same digestion or gut flora either. Some cats have stinky farts for anything but wet food, while others eat anything without an odor at all.

                That makes sense. No enzymes to cleave the carb chains into simple carbs. That’s how lactose intolerance works too.

      I had a cat that liked rice.

      He also like to eat corn, especially off the cob. He also liked frozen minted peas. Mother fucker thought was candy.
