I think the half-melted ice has a nice flavor. It tastes good to me.

I agree. My scotch isn't perfect until the end of the second or start of the third drink. And the barkeep knows to NEVER empty my glass until I'm leaving.

Just imagine if you could have that "perfect" drink--every time! . . . Buy my book.

From ice to rice
The easiest way to do rice is to buy a good rice cooker, but we already have too much c**p in our kitchen, so I learned to cook it in a regular pot.
Japanese/short-grain rice is a whole different thing and I have no idea how it should go. I don't care for it. If you've got the meat cut up and marinated, you can do stir-fry by the time the rice is done. Quick and tasty.

That sounds right. You leave it alone, and when you come back it has little steam holes running through it.
However, for Mexican dishes, the recommendation is to burn the rice in a skillet, to seal the outside before cooking.
