I made Congee last night. I make it often since the variable are endless.
every time I eat it, I remember being a kid. kindergarten to be exact. teacher was reading the story of Goldilocks and the three bears. I barely understood English then. I certainly wasn't confident enough to stick up my hand and ask a question. I listened to the story and my big takeaway was....."what is porridge?" I asked my mom, she didn't know. I couldn't google it. a friend told me was oatmeal. and I went with that for a long time. now I know it is any boiled grain.
so now everytime I eat Jook, I think of Goldilocks committing a B and E.
(my other child hood food story was when I tasted salted and buttered white rice, hahahha)
