If the original conversation was in English and not between two Chinese, I would think it's a greeting with a joking tone, which means that "do you still eat rice as usual?". So I would suggest translate it as "今天照旧吃米饭了吗?".
Without detailed context, but just in this context, I think it's natural to understand that the asker is greeting and ask if the person eat rice or not. Except for the case of kidding or cases like following:
I think please you eat rice, can you give me this face?
我想请你吃饭，你能给我这个面子吗？

my explaination about "eat rice" in this context.
Explanation: "Eat rice" here means "你吃饭了没?" which has a function of greetings. Go back to harder days in China, due to the lack of food (mainly rice), concern about if others have eaten rice or not is a away to show your solicitude for them. from then on it has become a greetings among people. It has the similar function as British people talking about weather as their opening of a conversation.

The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to.
The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability.
Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
