the greatest thing since slice bread

http://www.unclebens.com/...e-spanish-style-rice.aspxthese things rule. sure, i dont want to know what toxic chemical crap is in them.... but 90 seconds, no added water, 2 perfect serving sizes (no potentially wasted leftovers), no messy pots to clean, and a shiat-ton of flavor combinations. sadly they cost $3.29 at our local grocery monopoly whereas they're like $1.69 at mutantmart.

 We've been getting them for a couple of years now. You're right - slicker than *feces* and perfect every time.

Of course I still like making sticky rice in my steamer from time to time.
I willingly wrote that last sentence fully understanding the future use implications.

Kids like original long grain with a bit of butter so I make that a lot. I haven't tried the wild long grain yet so I'm going to have to pick that up. |

The wife has the same problem with eggs, sort of. She thinks putting salsa on an omelette is gross, but then again she has no problem putting ketchup on scrambled eggs, so I guess it's not the same thing. Shutting up and going away... |

Russell hates rice, so we rarely eat it. Sometimes if I make a curry, I cook rice, so then he has to eat it or go hungry.  |
