you want to talk about it not turning out perfect... how's about the Christmas I did it as part of our buffet and had the bright idea of putting it in a borrowed rice cooker to keep it warm. By the time we finally got to eat it it was so badly overcooked and soggy that not even the garbage bins in my family would eat it!

and to think I used to really hate rice as a kid! Mum did a dish which she referred to as 'nasi goreng' but which as a child I translated as 'nasty gory'! Of course I've since found out that it's just the Malay for fried rice, but I do think Mum was asking for trouble.

I think I'd guess girl too, knowing that Becky is one of two girls herself, and I don't believe you have a brother Becky - am I right?? But I don't guess.

Kerri.
