Great day. Not so great night; I got approximately three hours of sleep. Got myself down to the doctor's office and got an appointment booked, and will be able to pick up my prescription on Monday or Tuesday. Walked both ways

Putting the salt on before you start heating the water -- Im assuming you heat the water, than add the rice; maybe Im wrong in assuming that -- can scar the pot, but I dont think it really matters. I usually add the salt when the water is boiling before I add pasta, etc.

Can I say, I really admire you walk so much. I wish I had that kind of discipline. Maybe the US isnt set up for it. Nothing is close enough in my opinion to walk, but maybe Im just lazy. Then again, currently having a broken toe doesnt help matters ...

I soak the rice for a long time (half an hour or longer), drain the excess water, put a small amount of oil in the pot, and fry the rice a bit before I add the water. Sometimes I add spices in with the oil.

Having a step counter helps me walk more because I'm constantly checking my score. I walked over 10 kilometers today. Second highest score since getting the gadget, beaten only by the day I went up Brosviksåta this summer.
You're right, the US isn't set up for walking. Lots of places lack sidewalks; it's just assumed that people drive to wherever they need to go. Maybe you could drive someplace (a park or forested area) and have your walk there? Or is your area too urban?
