Well, here we go. I am still against using fj.misc for the posts, but I will
go on this discussion, since it is very interesting. Maybe some people
can now check that there IS interest in fj.we.are.more.or.less.lost group.

Seems that I lost something... I cannot find the original RiceReport
anywhere, so I will wait for the RiceRepost :) :)

Uh, sorry, I really cannot say the difference between some kind of rices,
what is gen-mai ? 

The only thing I can say about the differences of rices is something about
the way we do it in Brazil. It is not so cooked as in Japan, so if we
used hashis (chopsticks) it will be very difficult to eat it, but we 
use forks and knifes. We have some recipes of rice with vegetables, and
I like it very much. Soon I will start translating some recipes of 
Brazilian cuisine to post to some people that asked for it, if there is
somebody interested, just say it.

   Mr.Kuno>half cup of rice, appropriate for my lunch.   Oh, I am satisfied
   Mr.Kuno>with it, but people sensible to the taset of rice might complain...

When I came to Japan, some people said that I will need a rice cooker, but
since I almost always eat at the University, I did not buyed one. Another
reason was that I thought that all of them were too big for me. Can you say
the maker's name and code (?) of yours ?

And can somebody send recipes (easy, please) of rice-with-sweet-potatos
and other similar ones that we can make with a rice-cooker ?
It will be very good for my weekends :) :)

   Mr.Kuno>I am lookinf forward to read your NoodleReport.  Only cold ones?

   Mr.Kuno>P.S. I guess somebody might ask the diferrence between Hiya-mugi
   Mr.Kuno>	   and Sou-men.

Here is the question: which is the difference ?
So far, I know only Sou-men (liked it), Zaru-Soba, Zaru-Udon, Lamen, 
hiyashi-chuuka (sp?). I believe that the Zaru-* are the same as the Hiyashi-*,
is it right ? Well, all of the cold ones tasted better with some shoyu and 
wasabi.

I am looking forward to see the NoodleReport, too. Hope it says something 
about the hot ones, too.

And, if somebody can, a SakeReport will be very good... :) :)
