Oh, is *that* what it was?
For many years, there's been an odor I'd associated with Chinese restaurants. It's found in a lot of Thai and other Asian restaurants as well.
I never could figure out what it was. My best guess was a spice or maybe one of the cooking oils.
Well, I now now what it was.
Y'see, around Christmas, I had enough spare cash to stock up a bit on food. So I bought a 25 lb bag of beans and another of rice. Since the price was essentially the same, instead of long grain white rice, I got a bag of jasmine rice.
Last night was the first time I cooked any. And *that* was the smell...
