Rice on plate like rain after drought...

We didn't go to the Winery again. OCT was not feeling well this morning..Sigh, what can I say? Hope we can go another time.

We have rice tonight, after OCT complaint that he hasn't had a single grain of rice for 4 days. It's a record for him, apparently. He normally cannot survive without rice for more than 3 days. He said that his dizziness was a signal his body sent, to remind him to eat rice....

So his wish is granted. We have rice along with two rather uninspiring dishes. But the glow on OCT's face is obvious...
