in the morning Tom calls to his boss:
- Good morning, boss, unfortunately I'm not coming to work today. I'm really sick. I got a headache, stomach ache, and my both hands and legs hurt, so I'm not coming into work.
The boss replies:
- You know Tom, I really need you today. When I feel like this I go to my wife, and tell her to give me sex. That makes me feel better, and I can go to work. You should try that.
2 hours later Bob calls:
- Boss, I followed your advise, and I feel great! I'll be at work soon. By the way, you got nice house.

This was actually a fantastic analogy. I really laughed hard when I read the beginning and you are so right.  You get a lot of creative points on this one lol

Well, you do have a good writing like how you stated the process of cooking a batch of rice. And also, I will have then my oqn perfection in cooking something. #fingerscrossed 😊

I totally enjoyed this post :-)  What I learned was, that you think you might not know how to write a perfect post.  But what is perfection?  You say it;s your perfect rice, and I believe you correct, but what I found out is, that the way I cook MY perfect rice is not how you cook YOUR perfect rice, which is to say that you say you don't know how to write a perfect post, but I'm thinking, this was a perfect post!  

So, summing it all up....hmmmm....I think that there are just many faces of perfection.

:0)

That was very helpful as i am useless at cooking rice and writing a post.  Thank you  :)

Hello therealpaul,

You have the rice cooking by science.  That rice in the pan looks so delicious and fluffy and apprealing.
I really not have thought about the science behind cooking the rice but now i know a better way to cook rice as an oriental man.

<sup>*Sometimes when I write comments about rice articles, I like to first explain a few things about what I want to say.*</sup>

**Let's Begin**

Rice is good and since this post was about rice, I found this post to be good.  When posts are good and they include rice, I feel like saying something.  Saying something about this rice post is what I'm doing now.  I enjoy saying something about rice posts if they are good.

**Secondly**

What makes a rice post good is the good rice.  I won't just start talking about good rice posts just because I found a rice post.  It has to be a good rice post or I won't say a word and since I'm saying words, that's a clear indication that this particular rice post was good.

**Third**

It's not always easy to say good things about good rice posts when the good rice post was so good.  I feel it's best to sit down, get up, grab the coffee, sit back down, get up, put milk in because I forgot, sit down, think, then write about the good rice post.

**Now It's Time to Comment on the Rice post.**

Nice rice post.

**Some Things I Would Do**

- Fix the typo.  I won't say where is though because a good rice writer knows.

- I like to add a bit of cooking oil in my rice.  I was told it won't stick so I listened.  I'm not really sure if it's helping but I do it anyway.

**This concludes my comment.**

Funniest rice cooking post ever.

> and I can forget about trying to write this post properly for a moment.

Too bad you never did forget, not even momentarily 😜

And your writing is awesome by the way, you know that, we know that.😁

I always use a rice cooker, because I run into endless amounts of trouble when doing it in a pot.  I think it has something to do with my ability to burn water.

Love the comparison with writing.  For someone for whom writing apparently doesn't come easily you do a fantastic job of both writing and being entertaining XP

OH MY GOD! So you don't wash the rice before to cook it?

It's kind of silly how useful this post actually might be. Incidentally, my rice cooker _just broke_ last week. I've never tried making it the "old fashioned way." Always just used the appliance.

Now I want rice.

You meta bastard you! Brilliant! I love it! I will never look at cooking rice the same way. You always manage to change the game slightly with every post. You truly are a gem, Paul!

Thank you for sharing this recipe and your hard-earned knowledge with us. I don't eat rice very often, but if, in the future, I should want to make a batch of rice, I will follow your instructions. I had not previously encountered the tip about leaving it with the lid on to finish cooking for 10 minutes at the end. Perhaps that extra touch is what my rice has been missing, and constitutes the reason for rice in general failing to make my shortlist of favourite recipes. 

I enjoyed reading your thought process as you created this post. It's something of a comfort to hear that even people who have been writing for a year and a half still feel unsure about their writing. I have been here for three months, which already seems like a long time, but still I dither and waver over my choice of words and the arrangement of my paragraphs. Presumably when we have both been writing for decades, we will be as acquainted with the formula for Steemit posts as we are with the rules for perfect recipes. 

I foresee only one problem: that the rules of technology and human interaction shift so frequently. Perhaps the recipe for a perfect Steemit post does not exist. Or else, if it exists, it is only for a mere instant, before something in the collective cultural perception shifts, and what was once perfect is no longer so. At that point, a new theoretical image of perfection has arisen, followed by another and another. 

Maybe we should just be grateful for the unchanging rules of physics, chemistry and biology that allow for the perfect rice recipe to exist at least long enough for you to write about them and for other people to appreciate them.

You are a man who is
Incredible for your family

You know you have a gift when you can write a post about cooking the perfect pot of rice and still keep my attention, haha, (I totally hear you on the analogy, so true)

After reading this, I think I would write rice post everytime I write. The rice post is good...to write a rice post one has to be good writer. 
>a perfect pan of rice can be made with ease, but making a post about it could take up half of the day and still not be quite right. 
Agree with the above most of the time it took me a day to complete.

Thanks for the enlightment @therealpaul and @nonameslefttouse
