Is rice fresh?

Today, I was in my Foods & Nuitritions class. We were going through some recipes in some magazines and if we found one we were to show the teacher and she'll see if it's appropriate for our summative which is to cook a meal for our family. My friend found a rice recipe which is for his side dish. He was going to write it down on his market order list when he asked, "Is rice fresh?" My whole group just starred at him like, are- you- serious-? kind of face. OMG I laughed so hard. I knew it was mean but I just couldn't help it. haha =P Any ways

smile and breathe air.
