As an Australian of Indian origin, who eats rice every day, I wash rice three times in cold water till the water run clear upon washing. Also I wash rice in a big bowl and rinse the rice with hands in the water. This gets rid of the starch and impurities if any. Learned from my mother and grandmother. The best part is I collect the rinsed rice water and water my indoor plants. They seems to love the rice water. Nothing gets wasted :) Your Thai curry looks so delicious. I agree with you. You need to make the curry bolder in flavour to eat with rice. Rice absorbs the flavour of the curry. Benjamin is adorable. Love his money system and his face after tasting the lime. Sweet boy. Hope Samantha is doing better. Love from Australia

[@twobluestripes]

Lots of people us rice water on face and hair! Some even ferment it a little at home before use by letting it sit out for a day

[@zaria5785]

I use the rice water to water my fruit trees. Yup nothing gets wasted.

[@hismercysavessallysue5927]

WoW! Thank you for sharing this! I was raised on canned veggies only, and didn't learn the basics. I obviously learned throughout my life, but I've always had issues with rice, but I've never ever rinsed it! Actually, when I saw her rinse it in the video, a lightbulb went off in my head, and then I saw your comment here! I'm very very sensitive to toxins/chemicals as well, so I'm betting if I rinse my rice, I'll do just fine with it. This opens up a whole new world to me :) And I will absolutely use your rinsing method and use the water on my plants :)

[@surfcityhbca]

Try using the rice water to water your orchids, it helps them to bloom profusely. Got this tip from orchid growers in Hawaii.

[@MC-ko2mx]

@@hismercysavessallysue5927 Some people use a large bowl, a whisk, and lots of water to really give the rice a good once over. You may find you only need to rinse it once or twice, instead of three times.

Benjamin's face when he tasted the lime...priceless. He is going to love cooking I can just see it ❤

How gorgeous was Benjamin at the end of the video! I could sit and listen to 3 year old stories for hours lol… I thought my daughter was the only one that used to say “when I have my own house…” and “I’m not going to be living with you then…” so freaking cute!! Your chicken curry looked delicious… but i have to say , Benjamin stole the show in this video…. ❤️🥰

Love how Benjamin plans his future. He reminds me of my niece age 3, Gracie. She talks a mile a minute. I asked her why she talks so fast. She replied "Well, it is because I have a lot to say."

I'm Thai. My parents have a farm in the country where they grow jasmine rice, vegetables, fruits, and chillies! We always rinse our rice at least a couple times before cooking. Benjamin is growing so much. The way he tells stories and talks about his future plans is just too adorable. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

I think my favourite thing about this video is Benjamin “wafting” the smell from the pan towards himself 😂 he’s the sweetest

[@amyhendricks3627]

Sooo glad you mentioned this! I saw that and said, "Did he just..."? I was certain it wasn't my imagination, but wondered if time lapse just made it look that way. He is such an amazing lil boy...can't wait to see him showing Samantha Grace "the ropes"!

Benjamin's story about living in his own home reminded me of my son always telling me he wasn't ever going to leave me. He was going to live with us forever. Of course, on his wedding day, that thought suddenly came into my head and really choked me up. Enjoyed watching you guys cook together. I miss those days with kiddos!

Love Curry dishes. Laura you chop so well. And love how you are so good with not being over protective with Benjamin and allowing him to be involved. Obviously your parents were good like that with you. In my opinion it makes for secure and confident children. And the fact you treat him with respect in how you speak and instruct him. Just makes me smile. You are a good role model for parenting.

[@nancyh8026]

As delicious as this recipe looks the chat with Benjamin at the end was the real video today!!! He is the absolute sweetest. He’s clearly learning that you need lots of trucks to move around plants and pots. Watching him walk around Andrews it made me think of his future and the possibility of him running it. Thankfully he’ll have his own house to live in until his crashes down 🤣🤣🤣

Laura: I love that you let Benjamin cook with you!!! Many moons ago, I was watching my 3 year old niece for my sister and we cut and cooked green pork chili. My sister was a little stressed that I let Tess use a knife but I was right there to watch her and she had a great time!!! So I think its a great thing that you are exposing him early to cook. He will grow up to be self-sufficiant! Keep up the great work with your kids and your great gardening channel!! I love it! Toni Boudeman

Thanks for sharing this. Benjamin reminds me so much of my boy. He's 19 now and I wish I had videos like this to look back on. Both my kids have cooked with me since they were old enough to stand in a chair. It's where they learn basic applied math, the joy of creation, the appreciation for fresh ingredients, to listen to directions, pride in putting a meal on the table for people you love. I started watching your videos for plants, but your spirit and the relationship with you whole family is what hooked me. I never realized I could genuinely care about a family I had never met, but here I am.

Our first child born we also named Benjamin and I am happy to say that he has grown into a gentle and very intelligent man, who cares about the environment, appreciating plants and animals. I think this may be because I spent much of the day in the garden/property and so I would bring our children outdoors with me, whenever possible. They grew up loving plants and animals, and have a deep respect for the environment. It is lovely that you are teaching Benjamin to cook the the ingredients that you have grown! 🐞🍒🍋

Oh my ❤️. Listening to Benjamin detail his house, truck, trailer for hauling flowers and pots to ‘his house’ was absolutely precious! I started involving my daughter in food prep and cooking when she was his age; she was always keen on eating things that she was part of the process preparing/cooking. Because of it, she has an amazing broad palette and even at 19, she still loves to try new things that many of her friends won’t eat. What lovely moments you are having with him, soak them in - they grow up so fast!

That dish looks amazing! And Benjamin’s story about adding flowers around his home is priceless. He is going to be you all the way around and will definitely have his own channel no doubts there. Probably sooner than we know. He is so smart!

Best part of the video was the whole conversation with Benjamin! I so miss those days with my own...

Benjamin just melts hearts! I know I comment every time on how much he makes me miss when my boys were little. Cherish every single second with them when they are small. It flies by so quickly. The snippet of Benjamin trying the lime needs to go viral. Hilarious.

I’d come do your cupboards! I love it when friends let me organise theirs. Unfortunately I’m in Scotland. I wish I’d leave the cupboards & get a handle on the gardening but I am learning from your channel and do get inspired by you guys. (Just maybe not today as the wind and rain is crazy here just now - chasing wheeling bins & getting soaked in your jammies in the wee small hours kinda weather.) Am excited for your Autumn/Christmas decorative projects which is how I got hooked, but like everybody says I’d watch you lot tie your shoes because you are lovely. Many would happily watch your pantry organisation too, I hope it goes well - you’ll love it when it’s all bonny.

I loved this s much! I can't believe I missed this video when it came out but I must have been traveling. Laura in the kitchen with sweet Benjamin is just as fun and interesting as Laura in the garden. :) And I LOVE listening to Benjamin and the way his mind works. "That's what I'm gonna do!" Too cute. Love that you are allowing him to help you in the kitchen and try new things. We have 16 grandchildren and some are finally branching out to taste foods other than mac and cheese and chicken nuggets.
