| Inside the Despana Basket: Pimientos in Olive Oil and Quick Chicken Chorizo Rice | | 2008-08-12 20:15:00 | | I didn't realize until I opened this jar of Pimientos, from our Despana Basket, that it was packed in olive oil. I normally buy the ones jarred with brine. The olive oil does add a bit of flavor and the fat coats your tongue nicely if eaten alone. I'm not sure it makes a big difference when cooked in a rice dish. It certainly doesn't hurt though.I wanted to make a quick one-pot meal tonight, having stood all day, and just not in the mood for experimenting. Lon just came in from the pouring rain, completely soaked, and I wanted something comforting, guaranteed to warm him up. Well, this dish worked, a cheaper and easier version of Paella, because these are the ingredients I had. We finished the whole thing, which was really meant to be dinner and his lunch for tomorrow.Quick Chicken Chorizo Rice~3 servings1 teaspoon olive oil1 cup chopped onion11 ounces boneless chicken thigh, diced3.5 ounces chorizo, cut into bite sized pieces1 cup rice1/4 cup chopped pimientos in olive oil2 cups chic | | By: FoodMayhem | | |

| JAL logo uprooted from rice paddy art | | 2008-07-23 20:56:00 | | Has Japan Airlines’ crop-based advertising gone too far? For some residents of Inakadate — a small town with a big reputation for cultivating fantastic works of multi-colored rice paddy art — the answer is “yes.”This year’s crop art, which is Inakadate’s 16th work since 1993, features giant images of Daikoku (god of wealth) and Ebisu (god of fishers and merchants) alongside the corporate logo for sponsor Japan Airlines (JAL). Here are a few photos of the rice paddy taken in June from the 6th-floor roof of the adjacent town hall.Daikoku (left), Ebisu (right) and JAL logoThe town committee responsible for the annual crop art project decided to incorporate advertising into this year’s work to help offset rising costs associated with increased numbers of visitors. Last year more than 240,000 people came to see the crop art, and many of them used the town hall bathrooms and elevators (there is a nice view of the rice paddy from the roof), resulting in a costly utility bill. | | By: What's Up | | |

| To Line for Rice | | 2008-06-27 09:33:32 | | Philippines is believed to be experiencing a rice shortage. I don't know how true it is but all I know is that the Filipinos are becoming poorer and poorer. The most affordable rice now costs 36Php and the others range from 40-50 Php per kilo. This is such a burden for the Filipinos. Because of the expensive commercial rice, people opt for the NFA rice which costs 18.25 per kilo. Looking at the price difference, Filipinos would really save a lot. However, they must first wait for their turn and take a long line. Every morning as I pass by the public market, all I see are people falling in line to avail that cheap rice. I feel pity. I am grateful, not because they are suffering but because I am blessed not to do what they are doing. I don't have to fall in line just to have that cheap rice. My parents can still afford to buy those commercial rice. I am thankful and sorry. I am helpless. I am still a student. I wish I could do something to help them.

So, you dropped your phone in water. You are screwed, right? Nope, just order some Chinese Food, and you're good to go - Sort of. Actually, submerging your phone in dry rice or silica gel packets are a simple, effective way to resurrect your phone. Moisture absorbant silica gel packets can be purchased for a few bucks and effectively dry your phone. Dry rice has this same affect as well and helps to unbrick your phone. Read more about saving a wet cell phone.
For further reading, also see What to do if you spill liquid on your laptop.
"One final, perhaps surprising, note: If your phone gets soaked in salt water, you should probably flush the whole thing in fresh water before it dries. When salt water evaporates, it leaves crystals that can damage a phone's fragile components. Just be sure to remove the battery before flooding the device." | | By: What's Up | | |

| Curried Crab over Rice | | 2008-06-23 06:29:00 | | There used to be a wonderful Indian restaurant on 58th Street, where from time to time I'd enjoy their Curried Crab appetizer. For $12, one could have a pint of curry-flavored crab. Every bite was amazing. Unfortunately they went out of business and I haven't had the dish in a while.This weekend Jessica's mom dropped off four medium-sized, steamed blue crabs, shipped in a bushel from Maryland (the crabs we talked about from Harbor House). Jessica ate two of them straight (they are seasoned with Old Bay) and left two for me. So last night I spent well over an hour picking all the meat out of them so I could recreate the curry dish.

| Rice, in its most nutrient form... | | 2008-05-02 02:15:00 | | It is quite a common scene in Chennai roadside to see carts selling unpolished rice with its gravy. Called KooLu or Kanji in tamil and Ganji in Kannada, they sell nearly 500 ml of this for Rs 5. Many of you will term this as roadside and unhygienic , but this is the most nutrient form of rice available and is certainly worth having. I sampled it twice and don’t see any side effect or harm in this. Mixed with buttermilk and onion and served with fried chilli and raw mango slice, you might actually enjoy eating it.The highly polished white rice we eat sans most of the nutrients, more so with the liquid filtered out. The original, unpolished version of rice takes extra time to cook and not that tasty, hence most of the hotels and households never use it. If you can think of any hotels in your locality which serve this variant of rice in their meals, please drop a comment. Kamat hotel in Milagris, Mangalore is one place where I have enjoyed such a meal.Any thoughts on this issue?Similar | | By: eNidhi - A professional amateur | | |

| Rice Shortage? | | 2008-05-01 10:11:00 | | With rice a dietary staple for billions of people, analysts are warning of potential social unrest if crop prices continue their relentless rise. Back in the early 1990's, when I was still working in Makati, I have already observed how lands were gobbled up by real estate developers and converted into subdivisions. It was understandable because the urban population had increased at a tremendous rate and there was a great demand for housing facilities. Even industrial plants were moving out of the urban centers and moving outside the city proper. What used to be city outskirts or suburbs became new industrial or commercial centers. Even during those times I knew we were going to pay for the rice fields that were slowly being converted to either housing or industrial subdivisions. And true enough we are now feeling the pinch. However I believe the government is the one that is truly responsible and should be blamed for the rice shortage problem. There was never a concrete program f | | By: Must Be That Girl! | | |

| Golden Fried Rice | | 2008-04-26 13:16:12 | | This dish is not hard to prepare and I will confirm plus chop the one whom you cook it for will love you even more after tasting it. I used to spend lots of time just to figure out how to make every single grain of rice appear golden and although to date I still can't achieve 100% but at least 95% I believe is good enough.Anyway this is how you prepare this dish...Stuff you need:- 2 Eggs (mixed)- 2 plates of over-night rice- 2 small pieces of garlic (chopped)- 2 small pieces of onions (chopped)- 3 tablespoon of light soy sauce- 2 pieces of Hot-Dogs (Slices)- Some salt for taste- Some red chili for garnish the dishHow to prepare it:- Heat the wok/pan with some oil and put in the garlic and onions till they are slightly golden brown.- Add in the rice and mix around till you get a nice garlic and onion smell at high fire but dun burn the rice.

| Rice rationing in Springfield? | | 2008-04-23 18:36:28 | | This morning I was going to write about the sudden surge in rice prices as speculators take advantage of food insecurity (sort of like war profiteering, as far as I'm concerned) but I ran out of time. I'd also saved an article about the potential for rice rationing in the U.S. which I hadn't had time to read thoroughly.On my way home from work I stopped at the Food Zone on Belmont Ave. for milk and dog food and sure enough! The twenty pound bags of rice were labeled "Limit 2 bags."A Costco in California is limiting customers' purchases of rice to one bag each. Flour and cooking oil are also being rationed in some parts of the U.S.Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that food shortages in the U.S. are imminent (although I could be wrong!) but we have certainly all felt the pinch of increasing prices. We're unlikely to be eating mud next month, as they are in Haiti right now.
