pharon square: A Stupid Ode to Stupid Brown Rice
Oh! How I tried to be psyched about you! How I would dream about supermodels who love you and live on your mushy goodness! "I shall feast like a model and my body will rejoice!" I thought. And when I scooped you onto my plate, onto the place my delicious pasta used to live, I felt hopeful and confident! I shall eat nothing but brown rice and I shall be skinny!
But you tasted like a wet cardboard box. Luckily, you filled me up so thoroughly that I had no need to finish what was left on my plate. I scooped you into the drain with restrained glee. But oh! You would not be so easily tossed away. With so much left in the pan, I unfortunately had no choice but to store the rest of you in a Tupperware, and you will sit in the refrigerator until tomorrow 'round lunch time when I shall meet you again.
And yet...and yet. Your nutritional value is second-to-none. Despite the high carbohydrate count, you offer me vitamins and nutrients that once I could only get in the form of eight pieces of pizza and a side of multi-vitamin. Oh you strange, strange grain. You are so gross. So very, very gross. But as Tyra tells her stupid wanna-be models, "It's all brown rice and chicken and vegetables if you wanna lose lbs".
You give, and you give, and you give. And it is all I can do to not throw you up. Especially when my roommate makes and eats buttery crescent rolls that melt on your tongue...how shall you live up to that? You cannot. And that's why I will likely be a happier person feasting on French fries than attempting to keep down the disgusting mushiness. But lo! I will be skinny again. And because you are apparently a thing that skinny people "eat", I too shall eat. And I shall never be satisfied again!!!!!!
try Minute Rice brown rice. Instead of water, use juice. Orange juice, or pineapple/orange.I like to sautee onions in butter, then add the rice and cook a little then add the juice!
Oh mom !!! What a great idea !! and PHARON...that was just an (a) LOL !!!
Google "Alton Brown's Baked Brown Rice." You'll never look at a grain the same again.
