RE: Waste Not, Want Not.

I admire your mother's attitude of not wasting food, not even when it's leftovers or in this case burnt rice. She's right, anyone who've experienced real suffering and hunger won't waste food that easy. I think recooking the rice and making you guys eat it was the best punishment. My own parents equally frowned on wastefulness. That's the way to run a home though I think your mother's was a bit stretched. Thanks for this delightful take from your life.
