Essentials: Rice

I use a pressure cooker to cook my brown rice. It turns out PERFECT every time. Highly recommended.

Cook the Book: Nigella Express

On Sunday I make a big pot of rice and keep it in the refrigerator throughout the week. For dinners, I just reheat the rice and throw on some cooked vegetables / sauces / Meats. Plain rice can turn into something fantastic and different every night with the right stuff mixed in.

My dad makes the most amazing preserved vegetables. My grandmother taught him and its a family secret. He won't even tell my mom and my mom has to BEG him to make it. He keeps it in a jar for a few days for the best flavor, but my sister and I would sneak bites that by the time it's supposed to be ready, it's half eaten. It has chinese cabbages, cucumbers, baby onions, and carrots. It sweet, crunchy, sour, spicy (like kimchi! but not red), and salty. The mouth is confused at first, but the stomach is always happy. (I miss my dad!).

It is sorta strange, but IBC rootbeer always reminds me of my dad. As a treat to us kids, once in a while he would stop at the grocery store after work and buy IBC root beer and Vanilla ice cream as a treat for us kids (root beer floats)

My dad loves cabbage rolls. His grandmother used to make them, and the recipe came from the "Old Country".
