Food lessons learned

This has absolutely nothing to do with the blog, although I suppose you could consider some of it related to an earlier blog post I wrote about muffin-making and recipe books. Today I learned several new food lessons:

1. Two cups of uncooked brown rice makes WAY too much cooked rice for one person. Here's hoping that I can finish the left-overs before it goes funky.
   
2. "Jam Surprise" muffins - The surprise is that all the jam will melt and run out of the sides of the muffin tins, leaving very little of it actually inside the muffins. However, I made the darn things, and I still plan on eating them.
   
3. My muffin pan can more than survive baked-on jam. Soap, water, and lots of scrubbing, and it looks good as new.
