@Blendz 23 November 2021 more from that month

Late upload of my dinner, valenciana. I never expect to eat it again after a month maybe since we have no sticky rice harvest for few years already. It was given by my sister-in-law and maybe bought from the market. Actually, I ate half of it as my merienda in the afternoon and the half for my early dinner and just paired with water. Everytime there's a food with sticky rice as the main ingredient, I keep this away from my parents especially my father for sticky rice is not good for them. It will take longer for them to digest so they can eat only a little amount of it. And even for us who are still okay, eating too much of sticky rice may also hurt our stomachs. "Rice masses remove mucus from the stomach and duodenum as sticky starch binds the sticky mucus, weakening the defense against acid and pepsin which may cause heartburn and ulcer." That's according to pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. Now I know why there were times before that my stomach aches after eating more of sticky rice or even pastas and breads. And so drinking more water is really important to avoid such pain after eating. Happy Tuesday everyone!
