Tell me about the cold snap...I'm freezing my arse off here. And those cracks in the floorboards at home really aren't helping.

best rice:

measure out say 3 cups rice into a strainer. rinse well.

boil kettle.

in saucepan, heat some oil (olive or vegetable. not canola, that is bad for your brain). just a little. or if you are wicked, oil and some butter.

then fry the rice in the fats, quickly is good. stir it around with a wooden spoon. then pour in same amount water as rice, turn heat up, get it boiling with lid off. then put lid on and immediately turn heat as low as possible.

leave it for 8-10 minutes. don't keep opening the lid. for best results turn off heat and leave to finish steaming for a few minutes.

works best with a heavy bottomed saucepan, otherwise the rice can stick/burn.

good luck.
