...where if you bring water to a boil and then add something to it (wheat noodles, say, or brown rice), the water, just like that, can't remember how to boil anymore, and you have to wait for it to boil again. To be fair, it seems to have some kind of Strasbergian sense memory thing working, in that it does happen much faster the second time, but still - once I boil some water I expect it to stay fucking boiled. I'm not running a charity here.

What you need to remember, Mike, is that water hates company. If there's a boiling party happening, with gleeful agitated dancing and letting off of steam, the last thing those water molecules want to do is entertain a bunch of grains. Let's face it, all they're going to do is sit around and get fat; grains are usually pretty shitty dancers as well. So the water's refusal to continue boiling is best understood as molecular sulking.
ReplyDeleteMolecular Sulking - I will take that to heart, Nick. In fact, this may change my whole outlook on this situation, and it just may be that I owe water an apology. Thanks,
ReplyDeleteBut let's be honest; water can be tetchious at times...look at that whole Titanic thing, and those tidal waves. And that time the water in the shower was so fucking hot - don't know what I did to deserve *that*.
