That was our thought as well. We'll see how it turns out.
Good question on the allergies. We don't have any so I didn't notice. I would imagine they'd have to account for that though.

Client input would be a great way to get the client to continue with the subscription!
in sf one similar service lets people pre-order their entree / sides choices, based on the centralized pickup location. So the client clicks the location, sees the offerings over a 4-day period, and then chooses which entrees & sides they would like. Every day has 3-5 participating restaurants so it would be possible to get a Mexican main, Japanese appetizer, Korean sides, and Malaysian / Thai dessert (or switch around ethnic adjectives). All ala carte. The only reason why I�m not doing this is because I enjoy cooking even if the weekly emails bring much viewing joy.

The Lannisters always pay their debts.

It has been paid. Over and over. And then some. Consider it paid in full. Please.

Wild rice doesn't turn purple. Black rice, also known as forbidden rice, turns purple. Black rice is not the same as wild rice despite the fact that they both black in appearance.

gaobest

thank you! The Trader Joe�s package says wild rice and looks black and now I know. I didn�t look at the instructions at the shop, which suggest overnight soaking or 50-60 minutes of stovetop cooking. Wow. So of course I still must finish this (luxury) rice, which is $4.99/bag (1-lb) which is very above the normal edlp for Trader Joe�s �canned� products, most of which are $1-3 at most :-)
I�ll seek out forbidden / black rice. I want the purple!!! I know that both Trader Joe�s and safeway (Albertsons) lack this product. One day I�ll finish my frozen dim sum and can return to 99 ranch.

chgoeditor

I don't know what 99 ranch is, but I'm guessing it might be an Asian store. We typically buy black rice at whole foods, and it is not cheap, but I haven't looked at any of the Asian grocery stores, which is where we buy most of our rice in bulk, because we just don't need enough of it.

Yes, it is an Asian market. I know rice has a shelf life and I am thinking that wild or black rice might have a shorter one than white or basamati.

gaobest

oops - yes, 99 ranch is an Asian grocer. I am now pondering if Korean restaurants really has black rice to make their purple rice because they�re not charging that much for a bowl of rice... hmm. Anyway maybe I should just go to the Korean supermarket by the golf course to buy rice. I never really looked at their rice when my child was at golf summer camp but I definitely bought other gems there last summer :-)

Wild rice is not rice; it's the seed of an aquatic grass native to North America. It is not related to rice and is only referred to as rice because it looks like rice (healthline).

mixed green salad
salami sandwich on toasted Costco Parmesan bagel and Trader Joe�s Bomba spread but without arugula (doh!!! I forgot!!)
assorted Specialty�s desserts (their blueberry streusel muffin has curry traces! Argh on this twisted contamination)...

this is blowing my mind. I feel so confused. I�m sober. How is wild rice not rice. Wow. And it was next to white rice and basmati rice in Trader Joe�s. I am confused.

CoffeeTraveler

H-Mart is also a good place to get purple/black rice. Very different from wild rice, to confirm. We use a ratio of 1 cup minus a tablespoon of medium grain white rice (such as Calrose) to one tablespoon of purple/black rice. A little goes a long way!

gaobest

thank you! I screenshot this and it�s part of my �Rice - Purple / Black!� Pdf on my phone. I�ll eventually figure it out after I find the black forbidden rice that is not wild rice. I learn so much here :-)

Tonight will be the last of the yellowfin tuna that I caught last summer. I prefer simple preparations of fish. This one will be marinated in ginger and teriyaki before being lightly grilled.
I haven’t decided on sides or wine accompaniments yet.
In any case, great memories of a beautiful 2 days of fishing in Louisiana. Day one was the tuna and mahi mahi. Day 2 was red snapper, amberjack and grouper.

I think it's a pretty minor distinction. Rice and wild rice are both seeds from grain plants. If it's a grain seed that looks like rice, tastes similar to rice, and you use it like rice, I'm not sure it's more meaningful than being a good trivia question. Of course we eat other grains that aren't rice but they don't look like rice.

If you really want your mind blown, start a list of all the "vegetables" that are really fruits. We all know things like tomatoes are technically a fruit, so I know I'm not revealing some secret truth here. But a fruit is basically any kind of seed pod. Anything with seeds inside it is a fruit -- peppers, tomatoes, avocados, etc. The list gets long pretty quickly. I tried it once and realized that not only is guacamole basically a fruit salad, but I have too many fruits and not enough vegetables in my diet .

Last night we had baked bone in pork chops brushed with bbq sauce and roasted broccoli and Brussels sprouts. It was so good one of the cats tried to steal my housemate�s chop as she was eating it.
