PAULE AND LUCKY
in the garden of the Eisenbahnerheim, the former holiday resort, now terribly derelict, for the railroad personnal.
Although the weather had changed, and there was a little drizzle sometimes, I did some garden work, mainly cutting brambles.
In the afternoon we drove into town and walked uphill to the Eisenbahnerheim where the two horses greeted us.
We admired a garden full of snowdrops, but somehow I could not get a decent photo which would show the loveliness of it.
We came home and had face video time with my sister Loes, so nice to catch up and showed glimpses of our lives.
Tomorrow again a Silly Saturday Challenge, on Saturday 2 March.
The tag is #SilS126, or #SillySaturday126, and #SillySaturday will do too.
I am looking forward to be surprised by the silly, comical, absurd entries.

Relation of obesity to neural activation in response to food commercials.
Adolescents view thousands of food commercials annually, but the neural response to food advertising and its association with obesity is largely unknown. This study is the first to examine how neural response to food commercials differs from other stimuli (e.g. non-food commercials and television show) and to explore how this response may differ by weight status. The blood oxygen level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging activation was measured in 30 adolescents ranging from lean to obese in response to food and non-food commercials imbedded in a television show. Adolescents exhibited greater activation in regions implicated in visual processing (e.g. occipital gyrus), attention (e.g. parietal lobes), cognition (e.g. temporal gyrus and posterior cerebellar lobe), movement (e.g. anterior cerebellar cortex), somatosensory response (e.g. postcentral gyrus) and reward [e.g. orbitofrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)] during food commercials. Obese participants exhibited less activation during food relative to non-food commercials in neural regions implicated in visual processing (e.g. cuneus), attention (e.g. posterior cerebellar lobe), reward (e.g. ventromedial prefrontal cortex and ACC) and salience detection (e.g. precuneus). Obese participants did exhibit greater activation in a region implicated in semantic control (e.g. medial temporal gyrus). These findings may inform current policy debates regarding the impact of food advertising to minors.

Classic River Test
Probably the most photographed scene of the River Test - the eel traps and fishing hut on a beat of the Leckford Estate. A view that has probably not changed in a hundred years. This evocative scene is visible to all from the public road.
The photograph will be in the book as part of the section on fishing beats.

A combined thread-paper microfluidic device (μTPAD) is presented for the determination of glucose in blood. The device is designed to include all the analytical operations needed: red blood cell separation, conditioning, enzymatic recognition, and colorimetric transduction. The signal is captured with a smartphone or tablet working in video mode and processed by custom Android-based software in real-time. The automatic detection of the region of interest on the thread allows for the use of either initial rate or equilibrium signal as analytical parameters. The time needed for analysis is 12 s using initial rate, and 100 s using the equilibrium measurement with a LOD of 48 μM and 12 μM, respectively, and a precision around 7%. The μTPAD allows a rapid determination of glucose in real samples using only 3 μL of whole blood.

Part of the reason the Heat Wave photoshoot is awesome is because it is all about surfing; the other reason is because it features some seriously gnarly tattoos.
With a super fit model who boasts an epic tattoo sleeve and a beach setting, there is no way this shoot could have gone wrong. Check out the Heat Wave photoshoot gallery for some more pictures.
Implications - You will surely be surprised by the surfer babe's extensive tat collection. Not only does she have a complete colored sleeve, she also has tattoos along her lower stomach. Her tattoos featured a lot of colorful flowers and even waves to show her passion for surfing.

At the start of 2020, I decided to start trying to shoot different things. The projected started well, with a “Ballerina in the Woodland“, and then things got in the way like health and COVID-19. So fast forward 6 months, and the projected has started up again.
Luckily Emily was still interested in working on the project together, a local mill was contacted and access was arranged. The first room was on the ground floor, and had been used for film productions. There is remnants of a stage, which of course we used. The room is very dark, there is no windows or daylight creeping in. So for this, off camera flash was used, which was a little tricky. We spent around an hour in this area, and came out with some fantastic shots.
The first floor, is a long empty room with lots of natural light. Towards one end of the room, there was an outside wall from a previous set. Although a spoil on the room overall, the entrance was central to the supporting poles down the middle of the room. The large windows and harsh floor boards, made a perfect background for Emily to strike some poses. The red dance costume compliments nicely with the support poles, but also stands off against the dark floor & blue walls. Of course, we could claim this was planned, but a happy accident!
We finished up with a few shots using the impressive stair case, with a mixture of natural light and off camera flash. Finally the access to the mill takes you into a really dark area, littered with all sorts of stuff. So a very quick couple of shots, using off camera flash.

The big push for charter schools in Louisiana started after Hurricane Katrina. The state’s Recovery School District took over most of the public schools in New Orleans, and quickly issued charters.
With charter school enrollment up to nearly 3 million nationwide last year, Louisiana was still among the states adding the most students.
The Recovery School District has moved on to Baton Rouge, but, without a hurricane scattering teachers and students, charters really have to get parents to buy into the alternative they’re selling. It starts with pounding the pavement.

New Pictures Of Man United Away Jersey 09/10 Season
Two more photographs have been leaked of what is reportedly Manchester United’s new away jersey for the 2009/2010 season.
The black shirt with blue trim is designed and manufactured by Nike and is a similar design to the new home jersey except for the color changes.
The above two images are feature an almost identical jersey to a photograph of one that was leaked a couple of months ago. Manchester United fans may not be too bemused by the addition of sky blue to their kit especially considering that their cross-city rivals Manchester City are renowned for wearing their sky blue color.
What do you think of Man United’s new home jersey for the 2009/2010 season? Share your opinion below.

METUCHEN -- When the owner of a borough nail salon discovered her purse containing $5,000 had been stolen today, she ran after the thieves, grabbed onto an open window of their car as they drove off and was dragged for a block before falling to the road, police said.
At about 1:45 p.m., police responding to reports of a person hit by a car found the 52-year-old store owner in the road in front of 399 Main St., Officer David Liantonio said.
The woman, who owns the Charming Nails salon on Main Street, suffered numerous cuts and bruises, Liantonio said.
Officers said three women and a man entered the salon. One of the women asked for a pedicure while the others wandered about the store, Liantonio said.
The man and two of the women left. After a few minutes, the third woman said she needed to get money from an ATM and would return, the officer said.
The owner, whose name was not released, quickly discovered her purse was gone. She ran to the car in which the four were sitting and reached inside an open window. The driver pulled away, dragging the store owner, Liantonio said. When the victim fell off, the driver fled, the officer said.
The woman was taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick.
Anyone with information is asked to call Metuchen police at (732) 632-8500.


Post written by
Alex Dwyer lives in Los Angeles, where he's written about music for over a dozen years at places like HipHopDX, The Source, and URB.
A weekly club night in the northeast Los Angeles neighborhood of Lincoln Heights, made famous by artists using computers as their chief instrument, is an unlikely place for a jazz revival. Low End Theory—named after a Tribe Called Quest album title referencing the frequency the human ear detects bass rhythms—charges $10 a head for admission, allows teenagers to enter, and has drawn huge crowds every Wednesday night since 2006.
It’s cofounder, Kevin Moo, known to most as Daddy Kev, is an equally unlikely champion and curator of fine jazz. A DJ, producer, and engineer by training, Marques Moo launched Alpha Pup Records in 2004. From its inception, the label and its many imprints became the home for artists in what was eventually known as the Los Angeles beat scene: a mostly digital experience of experimental electronic music with traces of hip-hop textures and sensibilities.
Low End Theory became the sparring gym for Alpha Pup signees and beat scene aspirants, a physical arena to test technique in three dimensions. Fast forward a decade and the greater Low End/Alpha Pup universe has opened the door for a few household and Grammy nominated names including Flying Lotus, Gaslamp Killer, and Anderson .Paak. Somehow, amidst all the hip-hop boom-baps and electronic womp-womps, classic instrumental jazz may yet emerge as the genre Moo is best remembered for facilitating.
Beginning with pianist Austin Peralta’s Endless Planets in early 2011, the Alpha Pup-distributed label Brainfeeder, founded by Flying Lotus, began releasing jazz projects. After a pair of albums by electronic bassist Thundercat, Brainfeeder unveiled Kamasi Washington’s debut triple album, The Epic, in 2015 to international acclaim. Enthused by the success of their fellow bandmates Thundercat and Washington, members of a Los Angeles-based collective of jazz musicians known as the West Coast Get Down, came to Marques Moo looking for a home for their own projects.
Sharpened by over a decade contributing in recording sessions for artists ranging from rapper Kendrick Lamar to punk band Suicidal Tendencies, members of the WCGD have been collectively sitting on nearly 200 songs recorded during a month-long marathon recording session in December 2011. Kev's task has been to figure out how to sell their magic to the public.
Renaissance might be a strong word, but it wouldn’t be exaggeration. In the first three months of 2017, Alpha Pup latest imprint, World Galaxy, has already released two albums by members of the West Coast Get Down: upright bassist Miles Mosley’s debut Uprising and percussionist Ronald Bruner Jr.’s Triumph (one week after his brother, Thundercat, came out with his third LP, Drunk, through Brainfeeder). With trumpeter and fellow Kendrick Lamar collaborator Josef Leimberg releasing his debut Astral Progressions late last year, the Jonah Levine Collective introducing themselves with Attention Deficit in mid-March, and two projects from WCGD trombonist Ryan Porter up next, World Galaxy has a full slate of jazz for the foreseeable future.
Before his visit to Johannesburg South Africa last month for a special edition of Low End Theory, I visited Kev at his studio, The Cosmic Zoo, in Atwater Village to figure out how, exactly, the beat scene opened the door to the most significant jazz resurgence in decades, what choices he makes to foster inclusivity for live shows, and why an artist’s credit score will mean more for success than a social media following.
Alex Dwyer: I’m from a Hip-Hop background. If you would have told me even two years ago that my favorite shows in L.A. in the last six months would be an upright bassist at the EL Rey and a tenor saxophonist at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, I would have thought you were talking about me at 40.
Daddy Kev: [Laughs] How old are you?
Dwyer: I just turned 31. You fast forwarded me a decade.
Kev: Sorry for that, I apologize.

HMC Architects has announced that Sarvine Ashkan, AIA, LEED AP has been promoted to principal in charge. Located in the firm’s Los Angeles Studio healthcare practice, she will serve as a leader on the firm’s healthcare projects, build relationships with clients, and expand the firm’s reach in the Los Angeles region.
“Sarvine’s focus on building collaborative teams, and creating a culture of integration and sharing brings tremendous value to HMC and our clients. Her mindset and experience on large-scale healthcare projects is a huge asset for our Los Angeles team and the clients we serve.” Said HMC’s Healthcare Practice Leader Christopher Naughton.
Sarvine has been with the firm for two years and has worked on such projects as Kaiser Permanente’s Woodland Hills Medical Center and Fresno Emergency Department/Cath-IR expansion, and Pomona Valley Hospital’s Pediatrics Fit-Out project.
She has learned the importance of forming a partnership with clients, to foster a collaborative environment that foregrounds listening carefully to their needs, following up with her team of experts to make sure these needs are implemented into the design with an understanding and thorough integration across all disciplines and the quality of documents in mind; tracking the schedule and budget throughout the course of the project. These are some core skillsets, which ensure that the project is a success for all involved.
“Architects are doing much more than designing buildings,” said Ashkan. “We are reaching to improve communities, enhance the environment for diverse individuals, and improve the work environment for professionals. We do this by challenging held assumptions, unknowns, as well as research and collaboration for innovative and creative solutions.”


Challenge for Rashad McCants lies on defense
Sat Oct 8, 2005
"The one thing that will make you a player in this league is focusing on the defensive end, because he's going to be guarding Steve Francis, he's going to be guarding Kobe, Ray Allen," Timberwolves coach Dwane Casey said of Rashad McCants. "It's probably the most athletic position in the world." Defending the pick-and-roll was a particular problem for Minnesota last year, so learning how to do that successfully must be one of McCants' top priorities.

- 3 Can all rice be sticky?
- 4 Can any rice be sticky?
- 5 Is regular rice the same as sticky rice?
- 6 Is sticky rice better for you than regular rice?
Can you make sticky rice from regular rice?
Video: How to Make Sticky Rice Using Regular Rice This video teaches you To make sticky rice using regular rice, let the rice soak in water for at least 30 minutes before you cook it, which will help make it stickier in the end. Then, add 2 parts water and 1 part rice to a large pot.
How much water for 2 cups of sticky rice in rice cooker?
Tips for making sticky rice, aka glutinous rice – For this recipe, I did a 1:1 ratio for rice to water. This means I used 8 fluid ounces (or 244 grams) of water for every 1 dry measuring cup (or 208 grams) of glutinous rice. This is equal to about 2 servings. For a 4-person serving of sticky rice, you can reuse this ratio and measure out 16 fluid ounces of water (or 488 grams) for 2 cups of glutinous rice (or 416 grams).
For best results, use weighted measurements. Not all measuring cups are made equal in terms of manufacturing differences, and this will eliminate the confusion caused between measuring tools for dry food vs liquid. Wash your rice using a strainer before cooking to remove any dirt on your rice. I like to run it under the kitchen faucet and stop when the water is clear. After adding water and rice into the rice cooker, use clean hands to spread out the rice so it cooks evenly across the surface. Use the manual and instructions specific to your rice cooker. For this recipe, I used my National brand rice cooker on the “normal” setting and just hit start. It took about 20-25 minutes to finish cooking. Use a paddle to fluff up the rice and remove excess moisture. Then let it sit with the lid open for about 2 minutes. This allows the rice to remove the excess moisture and plump up.
How much water do you put in sticky rice?
Perfect rice, brought to you by Gousto and wagamama – Rice is a Japanese staple. The Japanese word, “gohan”, has two meanings – “meal” and “cooked rice” – and prefixes are attached to it to create the words for breakfast ( asagohan ), lunch ( hirugohan ) and dinner ( bangohan ).
- In other words, in Japan, a meal without rice is not considered a meal.
- Japanese cooking traditionally uses a short grain rice and cooks it in a way that gives it a glutinous, sticky texture.
- To prepare it perfectly, it is important that the ratio of rice to water is correct and, as a rule, this ratio is 2:3.
We recommend a serving of 75g or 1 cup of rice per person. For best results use sushi rice (don’t worry, you’ll get the perfectly measured amount of sushi rice delivered in your Gousto box). Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes. Place the rice in a fine mesh sieve and leave to strain for at least 5 minutes to allow excess water to drain.
What is the closest thing to sticky rice?
Do you have any suggestions for a suitable substitute for this glutinous rice? It’s easy to forget that many other types of rice may be used in place of glutinous rice if the latter is unavailable. The Best Substitutes for Glutinous Rice Are Jasmine Rice, Sushi Rice, Arborio Rice, and White Rice. Keep Reading because I collect a list of 8 Best Glutinous Rice Substitutes.
Is sticky rice just unwashed rice?
What Types of Rice Should You Wash? – “There are differing opinions, but I recommend rinsing all rice before cooking,” says Slem. This applies to all rice varieties and sizes, including short-grain, medium-grain, and long-grain rice. Nik Sharma, cookbook author and recipe developer, agrees: “By habit, I wash all types of rice before cooking to get rid of any dust, soluble impurities, or harmful substances.” He also washes rice regardless of where it came from (bulk bin or bag) or what the packaging says.
Does sticky rice need more or less water?
Cooking sweet rice or glutinous rice is somewhat different than cooking regular rice. You need less water to cook it, which makes steaming a better option than a pot of simmering water. Some more high end Chinese and Japanese rice cookers have special settings for it, but most don’t have that feature.
Does sticky rice mean too much water?
Why is my rice mushy or wet? – Mushy or soggy rice is usually caused by two things: the rice is overcooked, and too much liquid is absorbed into the rice. When the rice overcooks and absorbs excess water, the grains can split open, increasing the starchy and sticky texture. From my experience, there’s a relatively small threshold of how mushy rice can be before you can throw in the towel and restart the cooking process.
How long do you cook rice to make it sticky?
How to cook sticky rice – Steaming sticky rice
- Line a steamer basket with non-stick parchment (this stops the rice sticking to the metal).
- Fill a large pan with a 3cm depth of water. Sit the tight-fitting steamer on top, then bring to a simmer.
- Put the rice in the steamer and cook, covered, for 35-45 mins or until sticky and tender. Keep covered with damp parchment to stop it drying out.
What is the secret to making sticky rice?
The Secrets to Perfect Sticky Rice – The key to sticky rice is to not rinse the rice — this washes away the starch dust that allows the rice to clump. Soak the sticky rice for in enough water to cover the rice. This softens the grain and the extra water helps add that fluffy texture.
What makes rice so sticky?
Rice contains two types of starches: amylose and amylopectin. The former lends to long grains having a light and fluffy texture while the latter gets short grains nice and clumpy. In other words, the higher ratio of amylopectin makes sticky rice sticky!
What happens if you dont rinse sticky rice?
So, Why Wash Rice? – When you open up a container or bag of rice, those grains of rice have made quite the journey. During this time of processing, packing, travel, and storage, they constantly rub against each other. This friction between the dry grains of rice creates starch dust that coats the grains.
- If the grains aren’t washed before cooking, this residual starch will gelatinize in the hot cooking water and make the cooked grains of rice stick to each other.
- In some instances, such as sticky rice varieties like glutinous rice and arborio rice, this can lead to a very gummy texture.
- In the case of dishes like biryanis and pilafs/pulaos that use long-grain rice like basmati—and are judged in quality by how separate the cooked rice grains are—washing away the dust off becomes very important.
The clarity of the runoff water indicates that most of the starch dust is rinsed away and the rice is ready to be soaked. In kanji/congee, usually a short-grain rice, such as short-grain sushi rice (I even use arborio at times), is cooked in water or stock to form a thick, soupy liquid.
While the starch dust might help thicken your soup, the rice should still be washed before cooking to remove any dirt, chemicals, and bugs that might be present. The innate properties of sticky rice (low percentage of amylose, higher amount of amylopectin) thicken the liquid with ease, so losing any of that starch dust during washing is not a concern.
Also worth noting: Acids and excessive mechanical force can reduce the viscosity of amylopectin, so add any acidic ingredients, like lemon juice, at the end, and be gentle when whisking or stirring. Some studies demonstrate that washing rice can significantly reduce the amount of heavy metals that accumulate in the plant (toxic heavy metals like lead, arsenic, and cadmium, if present in soil, can collect in plants).
- Some brands of rice are labeled as “enriched” and will come with a note to not rinse before cooking.
- This rice comes precleaned and is also enriched with various types of nutrients, like minerals and vitamins.
- I rarely buy this type of rice.
- The fortification of rice is done after the grains are dehusked and polished, and washing the rice in water takes away these nutrients.
There is also another type of enrichment, in which genes are modified or introduced to improve the nutrient content of rice and even tackle health issues.
Is sticky rice the same as sushi Rice?
Yelena Shander/Getty Images Rice. It’s a staple in dishes all around the world, and the grain is as varied as the recipes it ends up in. Basmati, arborio, long grain, short grain, and Jasmine varieties help so many of our favorite dishes come to life. Humans started growing rice over 9,000 years ago and we’ve been eating it ever since.
- With so much variety, it can get confusing, especially if you’re venturing into a new cuisine.
- The myriad of boxes and bags that line the grocery shelves can be absolutely daunting, but they don’t have to be.
- One common point of confusion, especially since they are both prevalent in Asian cooking, is the difference between sushi rice and sticky rice.
Sushi rice and sticky rice are confusing because they both can be, in fact, sticky. They’re also both delicious, but that’s where their commonalities end. In fact, the two are completely different types of rice and are sticky for very different reasons.
How much water do I need for 200g of sticky rice?
Add 200g of sticky rice and 400ml of water into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Rinse the rice in cold water to remove excess starch. Mix 200g of sticky rice and 350ml of water in a microwave safe bowl. Cover and cook on high for 12 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
Can basmati rice be made sticky?
How to Salvage Your Leftover Rice By Heath Goldman for Food Network Kitchen Maybe you ordered takeout last night and it came with too many cartons of rice. Maybe you got ambitious and whipped up a big batch yourself. Whatever the case, you have some leftover rice on your hands.
And it’s not fluffy, ready-to-eat rice. It’s hard and cold and pretty underwhelming. Wouldn’t it be cool if you could turn the hard, unappetizing grains into dinner? We’re here to help. But first things first, the variety of leftover rice will make a big difference. Short-grain rice varieties, like sushi rice, short-grain brown rice or Arborio are typically used to make sticky rice.
They’re chock-full of a sticky starch called amylopectin that causes the grains to clump together when you cook them. Medium- and long-grain varieties of rice, like basmati and jasminem don’t clump together as much when they cook and therefore aren’t usually used for sticky rice.
Do you get where we’re going with this? If your leftover rice is a short-grain variety, you’ll be able to turn it into sticky rice much more effectively than if your leftovers are long grain. What if you’re not sure what type of leftover rice is stashed in the fridge? Here’s a quick way to tell. If the length of each grain is just a hair longer than the width (so the grain practically appears circular), it’s a short grain.
If each grain looks distinctly long and thin, it’s a medium- or long-grain variety. Typically, the rice that comes with your Chinese takeout is long-grain rice. To reheat long-grain rice so that it’s light and fluffy, transfer it to a heat-safe bowl, add a couple tablespoons of water and fluff the rice with a fork to break up any big clumps.
- Cover the bowl with a damp paper towel and microwave it on high for several minutes until the rice is heated through.
- But what if you’re looking for sushi-ready sticky rice? Great news: You can pretty much have sushi-counter-worthy grains once again with our favorite at-home technique.
- Once you’ve determined that your rice is suitable to be turned into sticky rice, follow these easy steps.
First, add the rice to a medium saucepan and spread it out into an even, flat layer. Fill up the saucepan with enough water to just cover the rice and add 1 tablespoon of rice flour. Adding a bit of flour back into the mix is important to help it clump together.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to medium and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until most of the water is absorbed.
- The rice will look a bit like risotto.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Using a rubber spatula, scrape the rice into a fine mesh strainer and stir it around a bit to drain off as much starchy liquid as possible.
Transfer your creation to a bowl and cover the surface lightly with plastic wrap. Voilà, you’ve got sticky rice. At this point, you can also choose to add a few classic sushi rice seasonings if you’d like. For every 2 cups of sushi rice, stir together 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt in a small heat-proof bowl.
- Microwave on high for 30 to 45 seconds so the sugar dissolves and then fold the mixture into the sticky rice.
- The sticky rice’s texture will be best if you use it immediately.
- Below, a few quick ideas on how to put it to work.
- Behold, the most-elevated Philadelphia roll you’ve ever encountered.
- Veggie cream cheese gets rolled up with thinly sliced smoked salmon.
Naturally, the roll is pressed into everything bagel seasoning and served with soy sauce, pickled ginger and wasabi paste. If you’re not in a rolling mood, blanket your sticky rice in tasty sushi-grade marinated tuna, plus tons of fun toppings like sliced English cucumber and toasted sesame seeds.
- PSA: veggie rolls don’t have to be boring.
- Step up your game by including blanched asparagus spears, red onion, plum tomato and avocado.
- If “homemade sushi” connotes “super complicated” to you, this 15-minute recipe is here to change your mind.
- Made with just 7 ingredients, it’s totally doable on a weeknight — provided you’ve got a sushi mat.

Is sticky rice just jasmine rice?
Is Jasmine Rice and Sticky Rice the same thing? – Jasmine Rice and glutinous (sticky) rice are 2 different types of rice. Jasmine rice is mostly grown in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, it is naturally sticky when cooked. Although, not as sticky as glutinous or sushi rice.
What is sticky rice called in English?
“Sticky rice” redirects here. For the Chinese rice dish, see Chinese sticky rice, Short-grain glutinous rice from Japan Long-grain glutinous rice from Thailand Glutinous rice flour Glutinous rice ( Oryza sativa var. glutinosa ; also called sticky rice, sweet rice or waxy rice ) is a type of rice grown mainly in Southeast and East Asia, and the northeastern regions of South Asia, which has opaque grains, very low amylose content, and is especially sticky when cooked.
It is widely consumed across Asia. It is called glutinous ( Latin : glūtinōsus ) in the sense of being glue-like or sticky, and not in the sense of containing gluten (which it does not). While often called sticky rice, it differs from non-glutinous strains of japonica rice, which also become sticky to some degree when cooked.
There are numerous cultivars of glutinous rice, which include japonica, indica and tropical japonica strains.
How do you know if a rice is sticky rice?
Sticky rice, also called sweet rice and glutinous rice, is used throughout Asia. This round-grained rice is immediately recognizable by its sticky, gluelike texture when cooked. It is the total or near absence of the starch amylose that makes sticky rice so sticky.
Can all rice be sticky?
What Makes Rice Sticky? | Rouxbe Online Culinary School Rice contains two types of starch: amylose and amylopectin, The amount of each starch, which is different for every type of rice, determines the texture of the cooked rice and whether it will be fluffy, creamy or sticky. As rice cooks, both the heat and liquid penetrate the grain and the starch molecules inside the grain break down.
- As the liquid is absorbed, each starch carries out a different task.
- Amylose is a long, straight starch molecule that does not gelatinize during cooking.
- Grains with high amounts of amylose will be fully and separated once cooked.
- Long grain rice typically has high amounts of amylose (about 22%) and the least amount of amylopectin (ex., long grain varieties, Basmati and Jasmine).
Amylopectin is a highly branched starch molecule that is responsible for making rice gelatinous and sticky. Rice with a high amount of amylopectin will be very sticky once cooked. Short grain rice typically contains the lowest levels of amylose and the highest of amylopectin (ex., short grain, Asian-style types of rice).
The characteristics of some medium grain rice tend to fall somewhere in between. They typically contain about 15-17% amylose and a good amount of amylopectin which results in a creamy consistency (Italian, Arborio, and paella-style types of rice). Sticky rice (a.k.a., glutinous, waxy or sweet rice) is very sticky when cooked.
It contains the highest amount of amylopectin and no amylose. It’s often used to make sweet dishes in Asia. : What Makes Rice Sticky? | Rouxbe Online Culinary School
Can any rice be sticky?
Download Article Download Article Sticky rice has a unique texture and flavor. It is used in many Japanese and Thai dishes. Unfortunately, it is not always easy to find. There are ways to cook regular, non-sticky rice so that it becomes somewhat stickier. This article will give you a few tips on how to cook regular, non-sticky rice so it becomes more sticky.
- 1 cup (200 grams) to 1 ½ cups (300 grams) rice
- 2 cups (450 milliliters) water
- Few tablespoons extra water
- 1 cup (200 grams) to 1 ½ cups (300 grams) rice
- 2 cups (450 milliliters) water
- 4 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Makes 4 servings
- 1 cup (200 grams) to 1 ½ cups (300 grams) rice
- 2 cups (450 milliliters) water
- 1 ½ cups (337.50 milliliters) coconut milk
- 1 cup (225 grams) white sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (112.50 milliliters) coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
- 3 mangos, peeled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
- 1 Do not rinse the rice before you cook it, Most people rinse rice for sanitary purposes, and to get rid of the starch dust. Starch is what causes rice to become sticky and clump together. If you cannot bear to eat rice without washing it, then rinse it once or twice—but don’t rinse so much that the water runs clear. You still want some of that starch left.
- 2 Consider letting the rice soak in a pot of water before you cook it. Some people find that letting the rice soak in water helps it become stickier in the end. Try soaking it for 30 minutes to 4 hours. Drain the water once the rice has finished soaking. Advertisement
- 3 Fill a large pot with 2 cups (450 milliliters) of water and add a few extra tablespoons of water. Using more water than you actually need will help make the ricer stickier and clumpier.
- Consider adding a dash of salt. This will give the rice some flavor and make it taste less bland.
- 4 Add 1 ½ cups (300 grams) of short-grain rice or 1 cup (200 grams) of medium or long-grain rice. Try to use the short-grain rice variety, if you can. Short-grain rice tends to have a higher starch content than medium or long-grain rice, which makes it slightly more sticky.
- Both jasmine and basmati are considered to be medium-grain.
- 5 Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Do not cover the pot with a lid.
- 6 Reduce the heat once the water is boiling, and let the rice simmer for 10 minutes. At this point, you can place the lid on the pot.
- 7 Turn the heat off once the rice has absorbed all of the water. You may notice some steam holes in the rice.
- 8 Leave the pot, covered, on the stove for 10 more minutes. Rice gets stickier the longer you let it sit. If you make it a day or two ahead of time, your rice will be extra sticky. If you do plan on waiting that long, however, you might want to cover the rice and leave it in the fridge so that it doesn’t dry out or spoil.
- 9 Serve the rice. Transfer the rice to a serving plate. If you want, you can fluff it a little bit with a fork to make it less clumpy.
- 1 Know what to expect. You may be able to get regular rice to taste similar to sushi rice with the help of the right seasoning. However, it is very difficult to get regular rice to have the same sticky consistency as sushi rice. You may be able to use the rice from this method in sashimi, bento, and sushi rolls, but you may find it too difficult to mold for nigiri.
- 2 Bring 2 cups (450 milliliters) of water to a boil in a large pot.
- 3 Add 1 ½ cups (300 grams) of short-grain rice or 1 cup (200 grams) of medium-grain rice. Try to use the short-grain rice variety, if you can. Short-grain rice tends to have a higher starch content than medium or long-grain rice, which makes it slightly more sticky.
- Both jasmine and basmati are considered to be medium-grain.
- 4 Cover the pot with a lid and simmer for 15 minutes. The water will likely stop boiling for a few seconds when you add the rice. Wait for the water and rice start to boil again, then reduce the heat and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid. Continue cooking the rice until all of the water is absorbed.
- 5 Combine 4 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a small saucepan. Mix everything together with a spoon. This will be the seasoning for your sushi rice. It may also help your rice become a little more sticky.
- 6 Bring the sushi rice seasoning to a boil over medium heat. Stir the seasoning with a fork or a small whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
- 7 Remove the seasoning from the stove. Set it aside and let it cool.
- 8 Transfer the rice to a glass bowl. During the next few steps, you want to avoid using anything made out of metal, or you will risk the vinegar picking up a metallic taste.
- 9 Pour the seasoning over the rice. Do this while the rice is still hot. You don’t have to use all of the seasoning if you want a less-intense flavor.
- 10 Mix the rice and the seasoning together with a paddle. You can also use a spatula, but make sure that it is not made out of metal.
- Consider working in front of a fan, or having someone wave a paper fan over the bowl. This will help the rice cool down faster.
- 11 Serve the rice while it is still warm. Japanese sticky rice is best while it is still warm, but not hot.
- 1 Fill a large pot with 2 cups (450 milliliters) of water and bring it to a boil.
- 2 Add 1 ½ cups (300 grams) of short-grain rice or 1 cup (200 grams) of medium-grain rice. For best results, try to use a short-grain rice type. Short-grain rice tends to be starchier than medium or long-grain rice by nature, so it might give your better results.
- Popular medium-grain rice varieties include jasmine and basmati.
- 3 Cover the pot with a lid and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Be sure to keep an eye on your pot so that it doesn’t boil over.
- 4 In another pot, combine 1 ½ cups (337.50 milliliters) of coconut milk, 1 cup (225 grams) of white sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir everything together with a spoon to combine. You will be using this to season your rice.
- To save time, consider doing this while the rice is cooking.
- 5 Bring the coconut milk mixture to a boil over medium heat. Be sure to stir the mixture from time to time. This will prevent it from getting scorched.
- 6 Stir the coconut milk mixture into the rice once the rice is done cooking. When the rice has finished cooking, take the rice pot off the stove and remove the cover. Pour the coconut milk mixture into the rice, and stir it using a fork or spatula.
- 7 Set the seasoned rice aside for one hour. Put the cover back on the rice pot, and place the pot some place where it won’t be disturbed. This will give the rice enough time to soak up the flavors from the coconut milk mixture.
- 8 Combine ½ cup (112.50 milliliters) of coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of tapioca starch in a saucepan. Stir everything together with a spoon. This will be your sauce. If you don’t have any tapioca starch, you can also use cornstarch or arrowroot powder instead.
- 9 Bring the sauce to a boil. Be sure to stir the sauce from time to time so that it doesn’t curdle or scorch.
- 10 Prepare the mango. Start by peeling the mango, If your mango is ripe enough, you should be able to nick the skin with your knife, then pull the skin off. Once you have the mango peeled, cut it in half and remove the seed. Cut the mango into thin slices. Repeat this step for the other two mangoes.
- 11 Scoop the rice onto four plates. You can create more servings than just four, but the portions will be smaller.
- 12 Arrange the mango slices. You can set them down right next to the rice, or on top of the rice. If you are placing the slices on top of the rice, overlap them to create a fan-like shape.
- 13 Drizzle the sauce over the mangoes and rice. If you want, you can also sprinkle some sesame seeds on top of the sauce.
- Keep in mind that, because you are not using sticky rice, the texture may not be quite the same as in the traditional dish.
- 1 Know what to expect from these recipes. There is no real substitute for sticky rice; it is a type of rice (like brown rice) and not a dish (like fried rice). The flavor and texture of these recipes will be different because you are using regular rice. Also, be aware that even if you cook regular rice so that it becomes mushier or stickier, it still may not be sticky enough for nigiri-style sushi.
- 2 Consider some substitutes. Are you looking to make sticky rice out of regular rice because you cannot find it in a store? If you can’t find sticky rice anywhere, try searching for “sweet rice,” or “glutinous rice.” They are the same thing.
- Try using another short-grain rice or risotto rice. Both will have a stickier texture once cooked (compared to medium and long-grained rice). Short-grain rice is stickier than other types of rice once cooked because it has more starch in it.

Maura Healey ought to show some true grit and invite Joe Biden to a “We Love You, Joe” rally in Boston.
While Democrat candidates elsewhere in the nation are distancing themselves from the troubled president, who has cratered in the polls, Healey, the Democrat candidate for governor, could give Biden a boost.
And, with close to 90% of the people believing that the country is on the wrong track, Biden could use a helping hand, especially coming from Massachusetts Democrats who have strongly supported him in the past.
Healey, the two-term attorney general, is running unopposed in the Democrat primary and is a heavy favorite to win the governor’s office in the November election. She has been a strong Biden supporter and in heavily Democrat, progressive Massachusetts has little to lose — and a lot to gain — in hosting an event or a rally for Biden.
She would have to sponsor a presidential visit on her own. She could easily get people like former Massachusetts U.S. Sen. John Kerry, now Biden’s climate change czar, and former Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, Biden’s Secretary of Labor, to pitch in. Both owe Biden for their jobs, and both have campaigned in Boston and in the state extensively in the past.
All the state’s nine Democrat members of the U.S. House could also play a role in a Biden visit. All nine support Biden, as do U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Eddie Markey.
A warm reception for Biden could help the Democrats in the upcoming Congressional elections as well. Should the Republicans win control of the House in the 2022 election, all nine members of the House will lose their appointed House committee positions, including Springfield Rep. Ritchie Neal, the chairman of the important House Ways and Means Committee.
Democrats could also prevail on Barack Obama, Biden’s former boss, to attend a Boston rally for Biden. While he may not be a registered Massachusetts voter, he is a resident with a $14 million waterfront estate on Martha’s Vineyard.
Ordinarily it is a president who sweeps into a state to give a candidate for governor or Congress support through political rallies and fundraising. In Biden’s case the opposite is true. The candidates are not running toward Biden, they are running away from him.
The latest case in point is Biden’s trip to Ohio last week for a speech in Cleveland. Democrats running for statewide office not only ignored his arrival and speech, but they were also nowhere to be found.
Ohio U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, running for the U.S. Senate, and Nan Whaley, running for governor, snubbed Biden by finding other places to be during Biden’s visit. And it was not the first time Democrats have distanced themselves from Biden in Ohio. They also ignored his visit to the state when he toured a manufacturing plant in Cincinnati in May and again in February when he gave a speech in Lorain on infrastructure.
In January, progressive Democrat Stacey Abrams, running for governor in Georgia, failed to appear at a Biden speech in Atlanta, as did other Democrat candidates. Abrams, like the others, claimed a scheduling conflict. Some observers nodded at that, some winced, others smirked.
Still, nothing stops Biden. He has been campaigning for office for close to 50 years. He can’t stop. According to his new press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, who said en route to Ohio, “He will go wherever he needs to go to talk directly with the American people.”
That being the case, he should come to Boston.
Healey, who has close ties to the Boston Globe and to John Henry, the owner of the Red Sox as well as the Globe, could get Henry to allow her to use Fenway Park for the Biden rally. The paper endorsed Biden in 2020.
Politics is the business of doing favors, Henry owes Healey. She bent the law to allow Henry to discriminate against fans by forcing them to use credit cards, not cash, for food, drink and merchandise at Fenway Park. So now the paper will endorse her too.

Compared to CD, Games, books and electronics retailers; grocery and fashion companies were slowest at answering emails, taking nearly 23 hours on average. Even the fastest retail sector to reply, CD and booksellers, took an average of eight hours – a complete working day. The quickest individual email reply came from a fashion retailer, within 5 minutes – highlighting a
vast chasm between the best and worst performers.
However, a fast response isn’t any good if replies do not actually answer
customer’s specific questions – only 75 per cent of email replies from electronics, grocery and fashion companies successfully answered the question asked.
Similarly, just 60 per cent of email replies from CDs and books provided a useful answer. Despite the massive increase in online sales, only eight per cent of retailers surveyed had invested in a customer-centric means of searching for information. This compels consumers to waste time trawling through websites or forces them to break away from shopping in order to call or email contact centres. The lack of intelligent eService means that retailers are missing out on the ability to understand consumer behaviour where it is most important – at the point of purchase, thus impacting potential sales.
Transversal’s online customer service research covered 100 leading UK companies, including 40 retailers in the grocery, fashion, CD/book and electronics markets. The overal results were so poor, that retailers scored second highest, ahead of utilities, banking, telecoms, consumer electronics, travel and insurance, by answering just 50 per cent of straightforward customer questions, from their websites. “Despite the growth of online sales, retailers are still not providing good customer service on the web, and they simply wouldn’t get away with it on the high street” commented Davin Yap, CEO, Transversal. “Given that they are providing tangible goods this should be straightforward, however our research has found the exact opposite. Retailers will drive shoppers into the arms of their competition through their failings.” Ten per cent of UK retail sales are now either made online or influenced by the web, according to research from IMRG. This totals 80 billion with 45 per cent of shoppers looking to increase online spending in 2006.

A new issue of Locus was published yesterday, and it is probably the one that people most look forward to each year because it is the one that contains the Recommended Reading List. As usual, I had a part in choosing the books in some of the categories. There are a lot of other people involved, and nothing gets on the list just because I say so. Equally there are books I recommended that didn’t make it. No one is going to think the final list is perfect, but it contains a lot of very good books and stories. You can find the full list here.
This issue also contains an article by me. This coincidence is an artefact of the December Worldcon. I generally write them something about the WSFS Business Meeting, so if you have the magazine you can read that too. Liza and the team have my deepest sympathy for having to do a Worldcon report and the Recommended Reading List in the same issue.

I just got back from a great visit with the London Friendship Quilters Guild. On Thursday night I did a trunk show of some of my quilts and Friday I taught a class on making miniature quilts. Here is a funny scene from the workshop. Anne had set up all the necessary supplies for a workshop in the middle of the winter - a Tim's coffee, some aspirin, and a box of tissue!!
I just love the sight of a quilter's work area...all the tools laid out, pieces cut and ready to sew into blocks.
Some of the quilters accepted the challenge of working with really tiny pieces, where the HST's finished at 1/4" once they were pieced into the block! Two brave quilters made flowers blocks that are 1 1/2" and have 26 pieces!
Gail (from The Cozy Quilter blog) played with a friend's "garbage" - all of these HST's were rescued from the trash, and turned into this adorable little 6" mini quilt.
A huge thank you to Jacqui (from Treadle Quilts blog) for organizing my visit and inviting me to stay in her home overnight. Jacqui has a beautiful quilt studio and the most amazing design wall I have ever seen. Maybe she'll do a blog post on it some time??? It was a real treat to see some of her antique sewing machines and her fabric stash, which is to die for!
Here are some of the quilters that attended the mini quilt class. Each person worked on whatever project they chose from the collection of instruction sheets provided...and just look at all the tiny quilts they started!

What exactly is a bottom bracket?
The bottom bracket is, in the simplest terms, a set of bearings (and other supplementary parts) housed in a hollow opening in the bottom of a bicycle’s frame, known as the bottom bracket shell.
This is where the crankset is fitted, and the crank axle (aka spindle) rotates on those bearings allowing for smooth rotation of the pedals.
A good bottom bracket = a happy drivetrain = a fast bike!
The bottom bracket is one of the most important components of any bike, even though it is not always the most readily visible one. One of the main factors affecting the efficiency of a drive train is friction.
Friction losses can significantly decrease the efficiency of a bicycle’s drivetrain.
Bike designers and drivetrain component manufacturers put much effort into ensuring that friction losses are minimized, but wear and tear takes its toll and a dirty, ill-maintained and worn out drivetrain will have significantly more power losses to friction (i.e. the bike will require slightly more power to pedal at a given speed compared to a new or well-maintained drivetrain).
Bottom bracket bearings, being some of the largest bearings on the bike, can introduce unnecessary friction if the bearings are of low quality, worn out or have had their useful life shortened due to lack of maintenance.
How complicated can a pair of bearings be?
Despite its relative simplicity as a component, not all bottom brackets are created equal. Bearings, the main elements of a bottom bracket, come a range of types, specifications and manufacturing tolerances.
When the time comes to replace the bottom bracket on your bike, it might be worthwhile to look into the variety of options being offered on the market, especially aftermarket options that may often offer innovative upgrades than most cheaper bearings that are often chosen at production to minimize manufacturing costs.
Bottom bracket standards
In a perfect world, replacing your bottom bracket should be fairly straightforward. Alas, the reality of replacing or upgrading most modern bike’ bottom bracket is far from a simple endeavor.
With the significant technological developments that the cycling industry has witnessed over the last decade, bike manufacturers have offered their own versions of bottom brackets, with claimed advantages associated with each offering.
Such a vast menu of competing standards has, unfortunately, introduced a significant measure of puzzlement.
The process of identifying the correct bottom bracket on your bike and sourcing a direct fit replacement can be very a frustrating and confusing pursuit, especially if you’re not up to speed on what all the acronyms, numbers and otherwise stupefying designations on different bottom racket standards mean.
Demystifying your bike’s bottom bracket information
To identify the bottom bracket standard your bike frame uses, the best source of information is usually the manufacturers website. Your bike’s model page usually lists this information under specifications.
There are two main ways of affixing bottom brackets to a frame:
1. Threaded bottom bracket shell: in which threads are cut into the shell itself (in the case of steel or alloy frames) or threaded inserts are used (in the case of carbon fiber frames), and bearing cups are then threaded into the shell.
Threaded shells or inserts on most modern bikes generally come in BSA English threading. Italian threading is sometimes found on older bikes.
2. Press-fit: where the bearings (or non-threaded bearing cups) press directly into the frame’s bottom bracket shell. Widely adopted press-fit standards include PF30, BB30, 386EVO and BBright.
Best road bike bottom brackets in 2022: the cream of the crop
This is not meant to be a comprehensive list of all the good bottom brackets on the market, but rather a selection of some of the best current offerings, categorized by bottom bracket standards common on modern road bikes.
Pending confirming compatibility with your frame, you really can’t go wrong picking out one of the bottom brackets in the list below:
Threaded bottom brackets
1. Shimano Dura-Ace BB-R9100 Bottom Bracket
Dura-Ace is the top tier of road drivetrain components the famous Japanese manufacturer makes, and every Dura-Ace component is manufactured to exacting quality standards guaranteed by a three-year warranty. The Dura-Ace bottom bracket offers low weight, super smooth bearings and superior sealing against the elements.
The BB-R9100 has smaller threaded cups than its previous generation predecessor, requiring a new Shimano Hollowtech II tool. Conveniently, Shimano includes a small plastic adapter that allows you to use the old style Hollowtech II tool to install the new bottom bracket.
2. Chris King ThreadFit 24 bottom bracket
Chris King is an American manufacturer whose bike components are renowned for excellent longevity as well as beautiful anodized finishes. Chris King offers their bottom brackets in with either stainless steel or (more expensive) ceramic bearings, both of which they manufacture in-house, and are thus able to maintain tight manufacturing tolerances and ensure a long service life.
PF30 bottom brackets
1. Wheels Manufacturing PF30 Angular Contact Bearing PF30 bottom bracket
Their PF30 Angular Contact Bearing PF30 bottom bracket has precision machined aluminum cups, unlike the plastic found on stock bottom brackets, which is prolongs bearing life.
Additionally, the angular contact bearings used in this bottom bracket are able to withstand a larger lateral preload than standard cartridge bearings, which makes for a quiet and more reliable bottom bracket.
2. Cane Creek Hellbender PF30 bottom bracket
Another premium PF30 bottom bracket is offered by American company Cane Creek. The company claims the Hellbender to be far less vulnerable to dirt and moisture ingress, thanks to the special SKF bearings it utilizes which use an “oil-filled solid polymer matrix”.
There is little reason to disbelieve Cane Creek’s claims of the superior durability of the Hellbender, as the company is no stranger to making some of the best components on the market.
BB30 bottom brackets
1. FSA BB30 bottom bracket
FSA’s BB30 PressFit bottom bracket doesn’t look fancy. Just a pair of bearings and associated spacers and bearing covers.
I include it on this list based on personal experience with it on one of my own road bikes, on which I’ve ridden over 4500 miles and the FSA bottom bracket is still going strong (I did pop the bearing seals on a regular basis to add fresh waterproof grease, which likely contributed to its longevity).
This is a reliable and inexpensive bottom bracket option if your frame uses the BB30 standard.
2. Rotor BB30-24 converter bottom brackets
Because the bearings are pressed directly in the bottom bracket shell, BB30 bottom brackets seem to be generally more prove to creaking than other types of bottom brackets.
Rotor offers a solution for people who have bikes that use the BB30 standard, but want to use 24mm spindle diameter cranks and get tighter fitting tolerances than usually offered by most conventional BB30 bottom brackets.
Rotor’s BB30-24 converter bottom bracket uses Enduro ceramic hybrid cartridge bearings and non-contact labyrinth seals for enhanced protection against potential contamination ingress.
BB386 EVO bottom brackets
The BB386 EVO standard is based on the BB30 standard, with a few added advantages, one being that (depending on your frame compatibility) BB386 EVO bottom brackets come in both press-fit and threaded versions.
KOGEL bearings BB386 EVO bottom bracket
KOGEL bearings is an American company specializing in making high-end bearings (and components that use those bearings). Their range of bottom bracket products offers versions compatible with all standards on the market.
Their bearings exclusively use ceramic balls, not steel, which they claim to offer superior durability especially in adverse riding conditions (unlike steel, ceramic does not oxidize or rust).
BBright bottom brackets
The BBright standard is used by some road bike manufacturers, most notably Cervélo and Factor bikes.
Ceramic Speed SRAM DUB road bottom bracket
Ceramic Speed is a company whose focus is to minimize friction in all rotating elements on the bike. Their components do not come cheap, and this bottom bracket is no exception being the priciest product on this list.
If you are building up a dream road machine with a money is no object approach, Ceramic Speed’s bottom brackets should probably be at the top of your options list for the bottom bracket.
Your cranks will spin with greater smoothness and, if Ceramic Speed’s claims are accurate, you will save some significant watts (source: https://www.ceramicspeed.com/en/cycling/inside/technology/how-to-save-watts/).
Final notes on required tools and bottom bracket installation
To ensure trouble-free operation of your new bottom bracket, you need to ensure that they are fitted to your bike correctly and according to manufacturer specifications.
Threaded bottom brackets will require a wrench type tool which has a driver with splines matching those on the bottom bracket cups.
Press-fit bottom brackets will require a bearing press tool and the right size bearing drifts to press the bearings (or baring cups) squarely into the bottom bracket shell.
You will also need some grease and/or bearing retaining compound, depending on the type of frame and bottom bracket.
Different types of bottom brackets require different and often proprietary tools, all of which will not always be among a home mechanic’s toolkit. That’s where the expertise of your local bike shop will be invaluable.

They are the innocent words of a three-year-old girl who was beaten and burnt for wetting her pants.
"(He) hurted me in the shower on my back," the little girl told police, describing how her mother's partner put her under a scalding shower as punishment.
The toddler had been whipped with a kettle cord by her mother and burnt in the shower by her mother's de facto husband because she was not toilet trained, Wollongong District Court heard yesterday.
The pair waited until the little girl's eyes swelled from her burns before they called an ambulance.
Yesterday, the girl's 21-year-old mother and her de facto husband, 27, were jailed for a maximum of two years for assaulting the girl, who is now in foster care outside the Illawarra.
Neither can be named to protect the identity of the child.
The girl's mother sobbed and shook as she was sentenced yesterday, and asked that she be placed in protective custody in prison.
Judge Paul Conlon said the couple's delay in seeking medical help for the girl's horrific burns "shows criminality of a very high order".
"One does not need to be a medical practitioner to understand and appreciate the excruciating pain this child must have been going through," he said.
The court heard the girl was rushed to Wollongong Hospital in June last year with swollen eyes, burns to her shoulder, back, legs and substantial bruising.
Dirty crepe bandages covered her wounds, and doctors administered an intravenous morphine drip to remove the bandages and ease her pain.
A doctor reported the girl's injuries to the Department of Community Services (DOCS).
The mother initially blamed the injuries on her daughter's cousins, saying they "played rough". However, she later confessed to whipping her daughter with a kettle cord when she wet her pants.
The day after she was whipped, the girl wet her pants again, prompting the de facto husband to put her in the shower.
Testing of the shower's maximum water temperature revealed it could reach 70.1 degrees celsius.
The mother pleaded guilty to one charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and one charge of failing to provide parental care to the girl.
The court heard the woman gave birth to a son in April this year who was suffering cannabis and amphetamine withdrawal. He is in DOCS custody.
The man pleaded guilty to maliciously inflicting grievous bodily harm on the girl and failing to provide care to the girl.
Judge Conlon said both had entered early guilty pleas and had no previous record of child abuse, however, there was no other appropriate sentence than imprisonment.
Both were sentenced to two years in jail, with a non-parole period of one year to expire on October 18 next year..

Book Review: If I Was Your Girl by Meredith Russo
Amanda Hardy is the new girl in school. Like anyone else, all she wants is to make friends and fit in. But Amanda is keeping a secret, and she’s determined not to get too close to anyone.
But when she meets sweet, easygoing Grant, Amanda can’t help but start to let him into her life. As they spend more time together, she realizes just how much she is losing by guarding her heart. She finds herself yearning to share with Grant everything about herself, including her past. But Amanda’s terrified that once she tells him the truth, he won’t be able to see past it.
Because the secret that Amanda’s been keeping? It’s that at her old school, she used to be Andrew. Will the truth cost Amanda her new life, and her new love?
Meredith Russo’s If I Was Your Girl is a universal story about feeling different—and a love story that everyone will root for.
YA novel about a trans main character, written by a trans writer, featuring a trans cover model? YES!
I don’t want to give away too much of the plot, so I’ll keep this review short. This book was fantastic. THE END.
Just kidding. Here’s a little more: This book is about changes in Amanda’s life, and not just the changes that come from transitioning. She’s in a new town, at a new school, living with a father she hasn’t seen in six years, and making new friends (for the first time in forever). She gets her first kiss and starts her first relationship. We see enough snippets of her past to know some of the things she’s been through, from suicide attempts to brutal assaults. She’s had varying levels of support, from a dad who still hasn’t “come to terms” with everything to a mom who quickly realizes that she’d rather her kid be trans than be dead. We learn a little about Amanda’s journey—understanding from little on that she was a girl, therapy, hormones, surgery, etc.
Amanda’s new friends and new start at a new school give her the chance to just live her life, for once, without being in constant fear. It takes her a little while to feel at ease, and there is a degree of worry underlying all the time, but she finally gets a chance to do things lots of teens typically do—go to football games and dances, be in a relationship, share secrets, and be supported and included. There is still fear and some ugly incidents, but for the most part this is a very positive, hopeful look at the life of a trans teen (something Russo addresses in the author’s note). At the beginning of Amanda’s story she tells us her goals for living in her new town: “I would keep my head down and keep quiet. I would graduate. I would go to college as far from the South as I could. I would live.” She soon realizes she has more options than that, than just simply trying to survive. She gets a chance to really start to live her life—the life she’s wanted to live for so long. A VERY welcome addition to the growing selection of books about trans teens—not to be missed.
