hello? is this thing on?
how to cook rice:
fast & easy
1 cup rice
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
combine ingredients in medium-sized pot. bring to boil, lower heat to very low, cover, let cook for about 15 minutes. taste a grain to test for doneness.
persian pollo
1 cup rice
3 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter
wash and rinse rice three to five times in warm water. drain well. boil water in medium-sized pot, add drained and washed rice. cook until a grain is soft to the bite. drain. place rice and 1/2 cup water back into pot with salt and butter, cover, and cook over low heat until done. cook a few minutes longer for the crispy/crunchy (word i only know phonetically) "tad-eek".
once, i lived with a girl who thought this was the only way to cook rice:
-open box
-dump package into pot
-follow directions on box
interestingly enough, i couldn't figure out how to make rice this way; it turned out terrible.
i'll get to the lobster and bread later. right now i have to finish up an article about fesenjan.
