Last Day of Freedom

Today is September 30, the very last day of September, the very last day I get to eat real food. Not that rice isn't real food; it’s just that, plain rice isn't over yummy! I enjoy my sauces but sadly I said 'No Sauce'; which means no sauce on my rice. I have also decided that I will have to eat every meal, no skipping any meals. Most weekends I don’t eat breakfast but now I will have to because all I get is rice so I will need something in my body to keep me going. Even if it means waking up, eating rice and going back to bed.

My parents keep telling me I am going to be hard to live with. I love my food so for the first while I probably will be complaining a lot about what I am doing. Hopefully after a while, like the first week, I will have to bite the bullet and eat my rice without saying anything.

At school I am imagining that this will be hard, smelling everybody else’s food and them sharing there lunch’s. While I eat my bowl of rice. It will also be hard if we go to someone’s house for dinner, like grandparents, I will bring my bowl of rice with me. But there food is always so good and tasty looking.

How to make white rice..

Things You'll Need
2 cups Rice
1/2tsp Salt
Rice Cookers

Instructions
In a heavy pot with a lid, bring 2cups of water to a boil.
Add rice and salt and lower heat.
Cover the pot and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
After 15 minutes, take off the pot lid and test a few grains of rice - if the center is at all crunchy, simmer for a few more minutes.
Test rice again.
When its done, fluff it with a fork to let steam escape and help keep grains separate.

I got this recipe from ehow food. Hopefully is it a right way to make white rice.

A Bowl Of Rice

October first is the first day of October. It is also the day I start eating RICE full time. My meal plan is like this :

Breakfast - RICE

Lunch - RICE

Supper - RICE plus some protein, like meat and steamed veggies.

If it is not RICE, I am not eating it, for a whole month I go on this RICE diet. But it is in no way a diet, it’s actually a school project. Let me explain how this all came to be.

I go to a Christian school, and this year my class was told we all have to do a SGP, a Spiritual Growth Project. This is mine, eating RICE. I am eating the same amount as a family in a third whole country would be eating. It is enough to get by, but again not even as close as the amount I would normally eat. All my snacks, drinks and morning cup of coffee will be taken away from me. All I will have is a bowl of RICE.

Everyday once this project starts i will be posting about how i feel physical, emotional and spiritual. It will be 31 days of RICE and 31 days of change.
