I asked Abi, my adopted brother, if he had made rice for dinner yet. He replied, "There was none to make!" None to make? No rice? No staple food for dinner? I could just tell from the sour look on his face that his bafflement was much more intense than mine. He could not believe either that supper would have to be postponed or altogether missed! For him, meal at the table, though laden with bread, potatoes, scrumptious other dishes and all sorts of dessert, is totally non-existent without freshly made rice!
