Rice is the key ingredient
By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier
ofowler@thepccourier.com
Rice is one of my favorite foods of all time. I consider it one of the essentials.
And although rice and gravy is hard to beat, that’s a dish firmly in the comfort zone. This week we’re featuring four rice dishes with different kinds of rice.
There are numerous rice varieties on the market, and it’s always fun to try something a little different. You may get suspicious looks from some seated at the supper table, but to try it is to love it
None of these are intense or time consuming, and I hope you’ll like at least one. With rice, what’s not to like?
