Rice in everyday life

Have you ever seen a big sign over a restaurant that has a big picture of... (C'mon guys! You know what I'm gonna say! Say it out loud with me!)  No... I meant to say chopsticks. Okay now... Have you ever seen a big sign over a restaurant that has chopsticks hanging down into a bowl of... RICE! Yes! Nowadays, it's not just you and me who actually eat rice. I'm talking about like everyone! People eat Rice puddings, Rice Pops, Rice Cereal, Rice Balls, and Rice Krispies! You see Rice puddings at hotels, cruises and buffets! And guess what, usually, they are Free, Free, Free!!! We have Rice Pops for healthy snack at school too! You can get Rice Pop at Food Basics for like $1.99, Buy 1 get 1 free, Buy 2 get 1 free plus 50% off coupon! But Hurry! Offer ends when Costco stops giving out FREE samples! (NOOO!!!) Rice Cereal is available at Wal-Mart. (Save money, Live Better.) (I just love that slogan!) but for some reason, its just specifically made for babies. (I don't really care though. It's $4.99, and that, ladies and gentlemen, is a price that I can actually afford!) Rice Balls (a.k.a. Onigiri) are just wonderful! You see these Rice Balls? They are appearing like Everywhere! I see them in Mangas, Animes, Japanese Anime/Manga stores, Social Media, and in restaurants everywhere! It's even in one of children's  most favorite TV shows!  I mean like, look at the picture in the top right corner! It's a picture of Pikachu eating a Rice Ball! I mean like, this is one of the best things they are actually putting in children Animes! How mcuh better can this get?! And finally, we have Rice Krispies!!! Rice Krispies are so CHEAP, but delicious! Even read what the people there working are saying: "For more than 80 years, Kellogg's Rice Krispies Cereal has been made nearly the same way, from just a handful of ingredients. Each piece is made from a single, toasted grain of rice, which moms know is one of the easiest grains to digest, so it's gentle on little tummies." Exactly, no wonder why rice is so popular nowadays. But you know what the best way to make rice popular? If Costco actually started giving away samples of rice. FOR FREE!!!

How to hold chopsticks PROPERLY (Part 2)

I hope everyone has been practicing on how to hold chopsticks. Another thing that has been worrying me is the amount of time you practice each day. Okay, I understand that some of you can master holding chopsticks really quickly, but what has come to my attention is that some of you are struggling. Badly.
So, in order to succeed, you must practice everyday, do it during your free time! Like hold them on the bus, or hold chopsticks while walking to school! (Some people may walk by thinking you're mental, but just ignore them. They're just jealous because you can use chopsticks and they can't.) You can hold them at recess, while watching television, talking on the phone, reading a book, sleeping, even when you're on your little "Potty" break! And for now on, instead of asking for a fork or a spoon to eat your dinner with, ask for chopsticks! It will be the perfect opportunity to practice! Even if you are having a Big Mac or some Onion Rings at some Fast Food Restaurant, try asking for some chopsticks instead of a fork or knife! Who knows? They might even get the utensils you requested for! If you're eating at a Asian or Chinese restaurant, they are a bit different from the restaurants that you usually go to. Instead, you will receive both chopsticks and a spoon (for drinking soup!) But I'm guessing if you really do need a fork, ask really really nicely and also offer their staff a "Free" Costco Membership card for the manager or else they'll be like: "What the rice did you just ask me?!" "You is asking for a fork?!" "You disgust me!" Now you give me my tip and get outta here right NOW!" (Or something else like that...) But be warned! If you ever do need a fork in a time of need, it is always best to bring your own fork to the restaurant, since asking for a spoon can be risky business... And always remember, It is always best to bring your own spoon, and bringing it in is FREE!!!
