How was your day today?

I like dirty rice but my husband and I have given up white rice.

Today is Perihelion.
Earth at Perihelion is observed two weeks after the December Solstice, which falls on January 3 or 4 every year — January 4 this year. On this day, the Earth is at the point in its orbit where it is closest to the Sun.

Aren't you glad you know that? Happy Perihelion!

Do you and can you make dirty rice with brown or wild rice?

 

[DaisyDay]

Probably but I never had. My husband does almost all the cooking. He is from Bangladesh so he has always been used to white rice.

Daisy, how many cats and what breeds do you have? I like orange tabby cats but I'm allegic to dogs and cats.

I don't have any cats. When I was younger, I had two cats - Sheila and Bill, both Siamese. I had Sheila for 21 years, Bill for 10 (he was adventurous, escaped, and came to a sad end). I didn't want another cat after Sheila died, but I've had two dogs since then, both pit-mixes rescued.

My ankles are too arthritic to walk a dog these days (meaning to have them fixed soon). I am allergic to cats, but I half-way want one - but they're so destructive to things on shelves, which I have a lot of.
