Free Rice

I found this on iseul bee my friend Alee's blog:

FREE RICE

I thought it would be appropriate to post. It's education, charitable, and fun!

Now go donate some rice.

Risotto

Apparently my mom made risotto for us once when I was a kid. She said our comments were, "moooom, this rice is really sticky". I don't know what I was thinking, I was having a stupid kid day or something. Risotto (made from rice) is delicious! Ed has made a few renditions of the dish but his best, by far, is his Chicken Pesto Risotto.
His recipe yields a fair amount of rich, sticky goodness. The best part of this is leftovers!! He has not only wowed me with this dish but several of our friends and my parents. My mom asked for seconds and possibly thirds.
If you ask very nicely Ed might give out some tips for cooking the risotto but he rarely writes down the recipe. He does have a recipe file on the computer that he refers to on occasion but it's really all up in his noggin.

I HEART RICE

It was about a week ago Ed and I were wandering through BevMo making a mental wish list of each thing we would buy if we had money and I became mesmerized with the Sake section. I love Sake. It is so yummy hot or cold I just love it! My brain quickly ran through other things I enjoyed and I came to the quick conclusion, I love rice. Almost anything that is made with rice I love.

Sake (rice wine), sushi rolls, rice pudding, rice cakes, risotto (Italian rice dish), rice paper candy, rice bowls, wild rice stuffed in game hens, saffron rice, rice noodles, jambalaya (New Orleans rice dish), Horchata (the sweet Mexican rice milk drink), Paella (Spanish rice dish), I could go on but you get the idea. The only exception I could think of is dolmas, I like greek food but something about the grape leaves I'm not a fan of. For the most part anything made with rice is yummy in my book therefore...I HEART RICE!

"I should name my blog that," I thought out loud to Ed "I heart rice".
And so it is.
