Absolutely. And yet because I've been slammed not once, but twice, I have to respond.
I didn't buy the ten pound bag of Uncle Ben's, but I wasn't about to throw it out. Starving children in Africa and all that. It does taste a little weird. And it takes longer to cook. That being said, long grain rice is long grain rice.
And about the electric stove: sometimes, one has to make choices. Any way I look at it (and I've looked at it a lot, from installing a propane system and stove to moving to a different part of the city), me getting a gas range is going to cost me at least $15,000. Buying a house with gas instead of the one I picked would have put me back at least $80k (for multiple reasons not directly related to the availablity of gas lines). Sometimes, an electric stove and a heat pump just have to do.
