Cooked rice [ Gohan ]
http://www.nsknet.or.jp/~tomi-yasu/recipe/gohan_e.html
Rice is the principal staple food in Japan and is cooked every day in most homes. In recent years automatic electric rice cookers have come into wide use. Yet, people who insist on the best tasting rice still prefer using a heavy iron cooking pot. The kind of rice eaten in Japan is the short-grained variety, which can be cooked to a fluffy texture with just the right amount moisture. - refer to "Japanese Home Style Cooking (Better Home Japan)"

1. Get LOTS of notecards. 4X6" (or at least 3X5") is the best size. Don't waste money buying ready-made flashcards, because making your own flashcards is part of the memorization process.
2. Write the kanji with a felt-tip pen on one side. Write the reading and meaning on the other side. Make sure you write the kanji in the correct direction and stroke order.
3. When reviewing your flashcards, trace the kanji strokes with your fingertip, or with a pen (cap on). Move on to the next card if you think you've got the gist of it (after doing it 5-10 times, depending on how difficult the kanji is).
*. You may want to make up little stories to help you memorize the components that go into a particularly complex kanji. This necessitates some understanding of radicals and other components of kanji. I will give a pictorial example next time I make a new set of flashcards.
4. Now flip all the flashcards so that they show the reading and meaning instead of the kanji. On a separate sheet of paper, write down all the kanji as best as you can. Only check your answers when you're done with all the flashcards.
5. For the ones that you've gotten correct, make a little checkmark/notation on one corner of the flashcard. When you've accumulated 5+ checkmarks on one flashcard you can set that flashcard aside in the "memorized" pile.
6. For the ones that you've gotten wrong, note what mistakes you've made:
Stroke order? Not enough strokes? Extra strokes? Wrong radical? Wrong left-right orientation?
With a red pen, outline the stroke(s) you had trouble with. Or, you can also emphasize problem areas with a red circle. This way you will pay extra attention to these problem areas when you're reviewing it.
7. Make more flashcards as your "memorized" pile increase. Five new kanji a day is a reasonable goal for most, especially as the level of difficulty increases. Those who can read and/or write Chinese probably will have no trouble memorizing 10-20 new kanji a day.

Slytherins are the bad beans. Amazingly enough, their numbers are higher than Ravenclaw beans, proving that there are more prejudiced ignoramus Purebloods than snotty know-it-alls geniuses.

Too good not to share: "America is a shitty flag flying corpse?" X-D ROTFL
Explanation by akibare:
尿（にょう） = urine. It has dead, and water.
屎尿（しにょう） = human wastes, both together. Solid and liquid.
You ate it, it's now dead version of it, so you got 屎 dead rice (solid poops) and 尿 dead water (urine).
