I wanted to get a chat going and while we're at it, is there anything that I can do with rice and virtually nothing else? I need to hit the grocery store but I'm putting it off until after Thanksgiving. Please share your ideas with me.

I like it plain with butter
Dan H. Nov 14, 2007, 6:33pm EST
I think I"ll try butter, but how much to use?
Dan H. Nov 14, 2007, 6:34pm EST
maybe I'll try adding sugar, cinnamon, and raisans as well. I don't have much else to add.
Kori J. Nov 14, 2007, 6:34pm EST
Just as much as you like, to taste.
Vivian P. Nov 14, 2007, 6:34pm EST
not much it doesn't need much also you can add a can of tomatoes and onion, pepeprs , garlic etc. and thats real good
Kori J. Nov 14, 2007, 6:34pm EST
Any milk? Add that as well.
Jennifer Oliver Nov 14, 2007, 6:35pm EST
My absolute favorite type of rice is Jasmine rice. It's expensive but soooo good.
Vivian P. Nov 14, 2007, 6:35pm EST
oh oh yes cinnamon and raisins and soy milk now thats good eating it's best with honey
Jennifer Oliver Nov 14, 2007, 6:35pm EST
Instead of boiling it in water, we use beef or chicken broth.
Vivian P. Nov 14, 2007, 6:36pm EST
okay we are all going over to Jennifers
Dan H. Nov 14, 2007, 6:37pm EST
Milk? Yes, I have a little but only a little.
Julia *loves my baby girl chloe* M. Nov 14, 2007, 6:37pm EST
i have no clue!!!!
Dan H. Nov 14, 2007, 6:37pm EST
broth? Wow, I'm totally new to cooking rice.
vickie f. Nov 14, 2007, 6:39pm EST
I agree with Jennifer, however rice can be fried in patties after cooking add butter salt and pepper. Cinnamon, sugar,butter,a bit of milk.
Add soysause and reheat.fried rice is good, you can throw anything in it.
Add broth and make soup.
Jan C. Nov 14, 2007, 6:39pm EST
I think any of the above sounds good - just plain with butter is good. Adding cinnamon, sugar and raisins would be good too...

When do you go home for Thanksgiving? Hopefully soon....

And YES, jasmine rice is the best....
Dan H. Nov 14, 2007, 6:40pm EST
fried in patties? Wow, I'm totally lost now!
Dan H. Nov 14, 2007, 6:40pm EST
well, I won't get home until next week. Even so, it's a short break.
Dennis S. Nov 14, 2007, 6:41pm EST
I like chicken and vegetables with rice,but rice pudding is good too.
Susan E. Nov 14, 2007, 6:42pm EST
If you have salad dressing and some veggies, it makes a good cold salad. I like the rice pudding idea, too. Some nuts for protein would be good, too if you are trying to make a meal out of rice.

Got a can of soup? Heat the soup and add the rice to make it a more satisfying meal.

If there is a puddle of dressing or butter, or whatever at the bottom of the bowl, it's too much. Add it a little at a time.
Dan H. Nov 14, 2007, 6:42pm EST
Well, any of you are welcome to make me dinner.
Vivian P. Nov 14, 2007, 6:42pm EST
hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and visit
Dan H. Nov 14, 2007, 6:42pm EST
I'll keep that in mind. Sadly, I don't have veggies here.
Vivian P. Nov 14, 2007, 6:43pm EST
I'm vegan but I guess I can cook some meat I do for William all the time the old farts a meat eater
Vivian P. Nov 14, 2007, 6:44pm EST
what no vegies someone send that kid a care package !!!!!!!!!!!
Dan H. Nov 14, 2007, 6:44pm EST
Well Vivian, make sure you get your daily vitamins and your protein.
Dan H. Nov 14, 2007, 6:45pm EST
there are veggie care packages?
Dan H. Nov 14, 2007, 6:49pm EST
Time to check on the rice.
Amanda C. Nov 14, 2007, 6:50pm EST
so many things you can do with it......
Amanda C. Nov 14, 2007, 6:50pm EST
You can make a casserole, with veggies and rice, and cheese, and a can of cream of chicken soup.
Jan S. Nov 14, 2007, 6:51pm EST
Add some dry onion soup mix and a boulion cube to the water when you boil the rice.
It makes a good side dish, or you can add some steamed veggies, chopped meat or fish and make a one dish meal.
Bon appetit!
Amanda C. Nov 14, 2007, 6:51pm EST
green rice, is broccoli with rice, and some other things, one of my husbands "secret" family recipes...
Dennis S. Nov 14, 2007, 6:52pm EST
Thought you had to go to the store?
Amanda C. Nov 14, 2007, 6:54pm EST
I like to add a bit of cajun seasoning, and add some black or red beans, along with a few other seasonings. For some really good beans and rice!
Dennis S. Nov 14, 2007, 6:55pm EST
Dan, thanks for the F5 refesh tip. It works much better than the refresh button on my browser.
JoAnne D. Nov 14, 2007, 6:55pm EST
You could add some to your stuffing and save some for turkey soup leftovers,
if you have any leftovers.
Vivian P. Nov 14, 2007, 6:55pm EST
I eat soy and beans and I use nutritional yeast flakes are you happy Dan and what about those vegis ? We must color our plates for proper nutrition
vickie f. Nov 14, 2007, 6:58pm EST
Patties Just press the rice together like any patty and fry on med. heat. Easy
Bonnie S. Nov 14, 2007, 6:59pm EST
I like honey on rice : )
LOL, when I read your headline, I was going to come tell you how to make a neckwarmer out of it. But I guess you'd rather eat it, huh?
Jerri H. Nov 14, 2007, 7:00pm EST
I like it with garlicky chopped tomatoes from a can :)
If you've got an onion (or I guess even some onions flakes would do) and an egg, you can fry it in a bit of oil and add the egg, beaten, and some soy sauce and ginger for a very basic stir fry.
Rose C. Nov 14, 2007, 7:06pm EST
I love rice...
Kevin O. Nov 14, 2007, 7:07pm EST
I've heard that it was one cargo that could easily sink a ship. If the hatches weren't sealed and water got in, the rice would absorb the water and expand until it literally burst the ship open from the inside.
Dan H. Nov 14, 2007, 7:11pm EST
I just made something pumpkinish.
Dan H. Nov 14, 2007, 7:12pm EST
At 1st, I didn't know what all the spices in my spice rack tasted like so one by one, I tasted each. let's just say that I have a weird taste in my mouth.
Dan H. Nov 14, 2007, 7:13pm EST
Anyways, I had some pumpkin pie filling so I added milk, butter, cheese, salt, sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, and clove and heated it up almost as soup. It's not half bad.
Diana B. Nov 14, 2007, 7:15pm EST
Fried rice is the best with leftover rice. Just throw whatever you might have in the refrig, beat an egg or two, salt and pepper to taste, soy sauce just enough to add some flavor.

Personally, I like to have my rice with rice seasoning (otherwise known as furikake), which can be found in the Asian aisle of your local grocery store or any Asian type store.
Dan H. Nov 14, 2007, 7:19pm EST
If only I had eggs.
I tried To warn you Nov 14, 2007, 7:34pm EST
Do you have a can of beans? Leftover spaghetti sauce from a jar? Now you have chili with rice.
Amanda J. Nov 14, 2007, 7:58pm EST
Do you have a can of tuna? You could add that with some cream of ___ soup and cheese and make a casserole.
Kim M. Nov 14, 2007, 9:53pm EST
my favorite use of rice is to put it in a sock and turn it into a heating pad for my earaches. I know that doesn't help you much. Looks like you had some great suggestions though!
Rita j. Nov 14, 2007, 9:58pm EST
rice and pasta sauce
Stacie N. Nov 14, 2007, 11:36pm EST
I love rice. A lot.
Marie L. Nov 15, 2007, 10:24am EST
My grandmother used to make us rice and we would add some milk, some cinnamon and some raisins if we had them handy. And that would make a dinner some nights :-)
Cristina S. Nov 15, 2007, 5:11pm EST
Now you know all about rice...
Let us know how it went!
Jean, just the teensiest bit odd, F. Nov 15, 2007, 5:43pm EST
Well... They could fire her from her position and put somebody in that office who...

I like steamed rice with soy sauce, and fried rice from almost anywhere. It's so delicious!
Amy C. Dec 12, 2007, 1:17pm EST
I love it warm with butter with little tiny bits of tomato chopped up uncooked ! It is great like that
Nick H. Dec 12, 2007, 4:14pm EST
