AtoZBlogChallenge:R is for Rice

April 21, 2015 By C. Lee McKenzie

Join in the fun! 
It only takes a minute to visit more AtoZers on the Linky.

My theme this year is Burma AKA Myanmar. I used to live in Laos, so I looked forward to returning to Southeast Asia. I spent a little over three weeks exploring this country, learning a bit about its culture: its history, religion, and language. I thought others might enjoy some of what I learned and see some of what I saw.

If you don’t like rice, don’t go to Southeast Asia, EVER. I happen to like it, so eating it all times of the day was perfect. It’s their staple. It’s not expensive. It goes with everything and fills you up fast.

Here you can buy it by the hundred pound sack
or the scoop.
My favorite rice treat has always been Sticky Rice Cooked in Bamboo. You peel the stalk and eat the rice like a candy bar. Delicious.
I didn’t have short quiz for yesterday’s letter Q.  But what do you know about rice?
T/F 1. In Burma, it’s believed the Kachins-people from the northern part of that country- came from the center of the earth to sow rice seeds.
T/F 2. Rice requires a lot of water to grow, so it’s limited as to where it can be planted.
Answers tomorrow.
