14 Congee Recipes for When Your Rice Porridge Craving Strikes

While rice is delicious in every form, from rice bowls to rice noodles to sushi burgers, it’s deeply satisfying when it’s served up in congee. The Asian import — a DIY rice porridge — is the perfect opportunity to use up that *leftover* rice, since it has a higher starch content which adds extra creaminess to the dish. Here are 14 congee recipes that show you how it’s done.

You can stream Ginny & Georgia on Netflix starting June 5, 2025.

What is Ginny & Georgia season 3 about?

Netflix

Ginny & Georgia follows the titular mother-daughter duo (plus Ginny's little brother Austin) who move from Texas to Wellsbury, Massachusetts after the death of Georgia's husband. But while a new town, a new school, and new friends can be complicated on their own, things get even messier in season 2 when Ginny discovers her step-dad's death wasn't an accident.

And at the end of season 2, Georgia's arrested for murder in the middle of her wedding reception. This was "always the plan," according to creator Sarah Lampert. "How we pitched season 1 and then how we ended our pitch of season 2 was, 'Then Georgia's married to Paul, they're having their first dance, and she's arrested for murder,'" she told People in January 2023.

"I'm blown away that the writers are still able to show us completely new sides of each character, and that's what you're going to see in season 3," actress Brianne Howey says. "You will see a lot of grit and hustle, but in an entirely new way. Georgia has to dig deeper into a part of herself we haven't seen yet. So, she has to use that grit in all new ways."

Who's in the cast?

Netflix

Ginny & Georgia stars Brianne Howey as Georgia Miller, Antonia Gentry as Ginny Miller, Diesel La Torraca as Austin Miller, Jennifer Robertson as Ellen Baker, Felix Mallard as Marcus Baker, Sara Waisglass as Max Baker, Scott Porter as Paul Randolph, and Raymond Ablack as Joe.

How old was Georgia when she had Ginny?

Georgia was 15 years old when she gave birth to Ginny. This is another detail that reminds us of Gilmore Girls since Lorelai was 16 when she had Rory!

Where can I watch Ginny & Georgia?

Netflix

Ginny & Georgia season 3 is premiering June 5, 2025 on Netflix, which is where you can stream all 20 episodes of the show (10 in season one and 10 in season two). It's safe to assume that Ginny & Georgia season 3 will also have 10 episodes.

When I was in high school, mornings were a battle. I'd hit the snooze button on my alarm more times than I care to admit, roll out of bed, rush to get ready, and hop on my bus before it left me stranded, often having to sacrifice breakfast in the process.

That's why Gilmore Girls continues to fascinate me, as well as countless fans around the globe. Somehow, Lorelai and Rory Gilmore, the mother-daughter pair who repeatedly claimed they weren't "morning people," managed to make it to Luke's Diner for breakfast before heading to work and school each day. How?!

Their jam-packed morning routines have been a topic of debate plaguing online fan forums for a while. For instance, people have long been wondering how the duo was able to accomplish so much before truly starting their days. After some digging into the timeline, here's what we found!

Here's our breakdown of whether or not Rory and Lorelai could have actually eaten at Luke's Diner every morning on Gilmore Girls...

Warner Bros.

To begin answering this question, we have to return to Season 1, Episode 2 of Gilmore Girls. It follows Rory's first day at Chilton, and Lorelai plans to accompany her to school. So, she sets her alarm clock for 5:45 a.m. because she needs to pick up her dry cleaning that morning as well.

We later watched as Lorelai overslept, causing chaos to ensue when she had no appropriate clothes to wear to Chilton. But that's not the important detail here. Consider this: if we think it would've taken Lorelai a maximum of 30 minutes to visit the dry cleaners, then we can probably assume her normal wake-up time is around 6:15 a.m.

Warner Bros.

Rory might get up at about the same time or a bit later. Either way, Lorelai would have around 35 minutes to get ready for her day before leaving and heading to Luke's at 6:50 a.m., usually with Rory in tow.

Fans know that Lorelai and Rory's home is located close to town, which is why they normally walk there. Luke's was around a 10-minute walk away, so if they were able to hit the pavement by 6:50 a.m., they'd arrive at 7:00 a.m.

Warner Bros.

Finally, Rory had to take a bus ride to Chilton from Stars Hollow each morning before she began driving, which was approximately 40 minutes. If we assume that she got on the bus at 7:20 a.m., that would leave her and Lorelai with about 20 minutes of coffee-drinking and breakfast-eating time.

Warner Bros.

But while this routine might technically be feasible, it still seems like a squeeze that wouldn't be realistic every single day. Not to mention, fans have pointed out how there seem to be other plot holes, such as how the sun is somehow always up when Lorelai and Rory are getting ready, no matter the season.

Additionally, Rory appears to have a decent amount of free time for socializing in general, despite being a straight-A student who's on the debate team, student council, yearbook, and the school paper at Chilton. As some Redditors noted, though, Gilmore Girls is (obviously) a TV show, and the more "boring" parts of Rory's day don't always make it on-screen.

Netflix

So, Rory likely reads during her commute to and from school, uses her lunch period or free periods to catch up on work, and arrives home from school earlier than Lorelai gets back from work, meaning she has more alone time to complete her homework. Additionally, viewers have seen Rory study late at night, have her nose buried in her books at Luke's before tests, and turn down some plans, such as with her first boyfriend, Dean, in favor of studying.

Regardless, the fact that it's always bright outside when Lorelai and Rory wake up is one plot hole we can't really explain.

If you're a 90s movies (and horror movies) lover, you might agree that nothing beats an old school slasher. I Know What You Did Last Summer, which stars Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Freddie Prinze Jr., premiered in 1997, combines everything we love about coming of age movies — friends, summer vacation, and drama — with just enough terror to send a chill down your spine. And just like the original, the new I Know What You Did Last Summer features some of the hottest names in Hollywood.

Is there a 3rd I Know What You Did Last Summer?

Columbia Pictures

Yes, a brand new I Know What You Did Last Summer is coming to theaters this summer. But just because it's a new film doesn't mean it won't have plenty of nostalgia.

"There's lots of '90s in there, so get excited because the '90s are back again!" Jennifer Love Hewitt, who's returning for the movie, told People. "And there's lots of twists and turns. I don't think people are going to expect anything that's coming. It's a really fun ride."

"We approached it like super fans, so I think people are going to be really happy," writer-director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson added. "All the things that you want to see in this movie, you're going to see in this movie."

"It's for them to make it their own and for me to stand by like a proud mom and say, 'It's yours now, take it and run and enjoy,'" she told People.

"When you get a group of young actors together, it can be a recipe for disaster oftentimes," Chase Sui Wonders added. "But everyone in this cast just brought it to the nth degree. We all got along so well. The chemistry between us was so fun and natural and seamless."

Do Revenge's Jennifer Kaytin Robinson is directing and co-writing alongside Sam Lansky.

There's something uniquely terrifying about a well-written scary story. There aren't jump scares or eerie soundtracks, just pure imagination twisting every sentence into something sinister.

So, if you believe some words on a page couldn't possibly make your skin crawl, think again. The best horror writers know how to get inside your head and stay there long after you've turned the last page.

Here are some of the scariest books of all time that aren't for the faint of heart. And fair warning: they might leave you sleeping with the lights on.

Amazon

1. The Garden by Clare Beams

The Garden is equally haunting and thought-provoking, making it a standout in the world of pregnancy horror. Set in the 1940s, it follows Irene Willard, a woman who finally gets pregnant after suffering five miscarriages. So, she checks into a strange hospital run by a husband-and-wife duo promising to "rectify the maternal environment" and soon finds herself drawn to a mysterious garden on the property.

This book, published in 2024, explores unsettling themes of medical manipulation and how women have historically had their bodily autonomy taken from them.

Amazon

2. The Troop by Nick Cutter

If gore is your thing, The Troop will deliver. Released in 2014, the story starts as a wholesome camping trip that quickly morphs into survival horror. That's because an emaciated stranger washes up on the remote island where Scoutmaster Tim Riggs and his Boy Scout troop are staying.

The stranger is infected with a genetically engineered parasite, and as the infection spreads, the group must try to make it out alive. This novel is fast and disturbing: you've been warned.

Amazon

3. Revelator by Daryl Gregory

Revelator is a slow-burn horror tale that's steeped in Appalachian folklore. It starts in 1933, when a 9-year-old named Stella is left to be cared for by her grandmother, Motty, in Tennessee. Then, she discovers a dark family secret: an entity called the Ghostdaddy, which is her family's personal god.

Years later, Stella winds up going back home for her grandmother's funeral, only to find another child has taken her place as the family's chosen one.

Amazon

4. The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager

The House Across the Lake, published in 2022, follows actress Casey Fletcher, who retreats to her family's lakeside home in Vermont following a series of personal issues. She begins drinking and gazing through a pair of binoculars when she becomes fixated on a couple across the lake, Tom and Katherine Royce.

However, things take a turn when Katherine vanishes without a trace, and Casey starts to suspect that Tom is involved. This eerie book will play with your mind until the very end!

Amazon

5. Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

This 2020 book by Silvia Moreno-Garcia transports readers to a decaying mansion in the Mexican countryside, where debutante Noemí Taboada must unravel the truth behind her cousin's panicked letter for help. What she finds is a house full of secrets and a husband who's not what he seems.

The same year it came out, Mexican Gothic won the Readers' Favorite Horror award on Goodreads.

Amazon

6. Rebecca by Daphne de Maurier

Rebecca was released in 1938, but it remains a classic that proves horror doesn't always need blood to be terrifying. When a young woman marries a widower named Maxim de Winter, she's swept away to his estate. Then, she finds herself haunted by the memory of his late wife, Rebecca.

This gothic work has since been adapted for theater, film, TV, and radio, and even won the Anthony Award for Best Novel of the Century.

Amazon

7. The Shining by Stephen King

While The Shining is a well-known horror novel, we still needed to include it on this list. After all, it's become a cult classic for a reason. The book follows Jack Torrance, who takes a job as the winter caretaker of the Overlook Hotel and sees the opportunity as a fresh start for himself and his family. But the isolation and supernatural forces lurking within the hotel have other plans.

Jack starts spiraling into madness; meanwhile, his son Danny, who has psychic abilities, sees visions of what's to come. With its slow build and psychological torment, The Shining delivers on every level.

Amazon

8. Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado

Finally, if you'd rather indulge in some briefer horror tales, you need to read Her Body and Other Parties. Published in 2017, it's a collection of short stories that use horror to explore gender and bodily autonomy.

This work was a finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction and will be hard to put down, no matter how unsettled each tale makes you feel.
