    As an Australian of Indian origin, who eats rice every day, I wash rice three times in cold water till the water run clear upon washing. Also I wash rice in a big bowl and rinse the rice with hands in the water. This gets rid of the starch and impurities if any. Learned from my mother and grandmother. The best part is I collect the rinsed rice water and water my indoor plants. They seems to love the rice water. Nothing gets wasted :) Your Thai curry looks so delicious. I agree with you. You need to make the curry bolder in flavour to eat with rice. Rice absorbs the flavour of the curry. Benjamin is adorable. Love his money system and his face after tasting the lime. Sweet boy. Hope Samantha is doing better. Love from Australia

      WoW! Thank you for sharing this! I was raised on canned veggies only, and didn't learn the basics. I obviously learned throughout my life, but I've always had issues with rice, but I've never ever rinsed it! Actually, when I saw her rinse it in the video, a lightbulb went off in my head, and then I saw your comment here! I'm very very sensitive to toxins/chemicals as well, so I'm betting if I rinse my rice, I'll do just fine with it. This opens up a whole new world to me :) And I will absolutely use your rinsing method and use the water on my plants :)

      @@hismercysavessallysue5927 Some people use a large bowl, a whisk, and lots of water to really give the rice a good once over.
      You may find you only need to rinse it once or twice, instead of three times.

Just makes me smile. You are a good role model for parenting.

My sister was a little stressed that I let Tess use a knife but I was right there to watch her and she had a great time!!! So I think its a great thing that you are exposing him early to cook.

    Thanks for sharing this. Benjamin reminds me so much of my boy. He's 19 now and I wish I had videos like this to look back on. Both my kids have cooked with me since they were old enough to stand in a chair. It's where they learn basic applied math, the joy of creation, the appreciation for fresh ingredients, to listen to directions, pride in putting a meal on the table for people you love. I started watching your videos for plants, but your spirit and the relationship with you whole family is what hooked me. I never realized I could genuinely care about a family I had never met, but here I am.

    When my kids were young I remember listening to their stories, and still tell some of them at family events. Kids are so inventive! Love your paper chain idea! Its obvious that you spend a lot of time with Benjamin, and he will be the one to teach Samantha all the great things you are imparting to him. I can just hear him now, teaching her about paper chains and growing things in the garden. Loved this video! I can't believe I have never tasted curry. I'll have to try it some time.

    Love the Benjamin stories. He reminds me of my grandson. He may be small but talks like an adult. Great imagination. I bet you read to him a lot. Everyone says my Oakly is like an old mans soul in a little boys body. Wise beyond his years. So is your Benjamin. Precious. Samantha will be catching up with her stories before long. I love going to the garden and bringing in produce to cook. It’s just so satisfying.Thank you for sharing!

    Oh my between Benjamin tasting the lime and then his explanation of what trucks cost, his hand on his hip as he tell you his living arrangements, and “I’ll get some plants for your house”, he totally stole your video.
    Bless him, he is the best! 💕🥰

Wouldn’t it be nice if everybody could just walk into their backyard and have every ingredient needed. You’re such an inspiration and you can cook as well, Aaron’s lucky man.

Trifecta!! I love when you guys show the candid along with the “pretty”. I also really enjoy your cooking videos… so relatable and always delicious. I’m with you Laura, I always double the curry paste recommendation! ☺️🌿🍁🌺😎

    So my eyes were not quite open, and I’d only had about two sips of coffee when you showed your list of items to get from the garden…the first item looked very much like “chicken” to me!! 🐓😳 I thought to myself, “Laura! Surely not!!” Then you read your list, and my heartbeat corrected itself!! Phew!
    Adorable video and Benjamin…makes my heart melt! My youngest son in first grade told me he was never going to leave me! ❤️

    Food stylist and culinary school instructor here! I think all rice should be rinsed until the water runs clear with the exception of a pilaf or risotto where you toast the rice first. Also the brand “Oxo” is pronounced “ox-o” 🐂 love everything about your channel! I swear we’d be friends in another life!

    Listening to you and Benjamin reminded me of my daughter at that age. My "baby" will be turning 25 soon. She and I continue to share speciall moments and she still dreams of her own place once she finishes her doctorate.
    So glad to see you treasuring each moment with your children. God bless!

    Oh my ❤️. Listening to Benjamin detail his house, truck, trailer for hauling flowers and pots to ‘his house’ was absolutely precious! I started involving my daughter in food prep and cooking when she was his age; she was always keen on eating things that she was part of the process preparing/cooking. Because of it, she has an amazing broad palette and even at 19, she still loves to try new things that many of her friends won’t eat. What lovely moments you are having with him, soak them in - they grow up so fast!

Thank you for inspiring us to do our best in gardening even if our results are not fabulous as yours.

    Benjamin is so sweet and cute, 🥰 Laura. You are such a wonderful mother and friend to Benjamin, as well as a patient teacher. Our first child born we also named Benjamin and I am happy to say that he has grown into a gentle and very intelligent man, who cares about the environment, appreciating plants and animals. I think this may be because I spent much of the day in the garden/property and so I would bring our children outdoors with me, whenever possible. They grew up loving plants and animals, and have a deep respect for the environment. It is lovely that you are teaching Benjamin to cook the the ingredients that you have grown! 🐞🍒🍋
