For those who like to eat some rice for the noon meal here's a terrific way
to cook it. And I would like to say that for years I liked rice but never really
knew how to cook it correctly. I burned more rice than I actually got to eat
for the longest time, but then I learned a fantastic way of cooking it. Always
allow for 1 hour to let it cook just right. If you have a home based business
the time doesn't really matter. But if you are, in my view, unfortunate enough
to be working away from home there's still hope and I will share with you later
in this message a method we used to use when I was in the war
.it's called
Thermos Bottle Cooking!
1st of all wash the whole grain rice and let it toast it in a dry skillet on
a medium heat until golden brown (about 3-5 minutes) or until just before they
start popping in the skillet. Then cook the rice immediately. Here's the best
procedure I've found to cook it from this point. Always 2 parts water to 1 part
rice. While the water is coming to a boil with the rice already in the water,
add your favorite spices and herbs. I add a small pinch of Cayenne Pepper (while
I'm thinking of the great Francis Bologna in New Orleans, LA who just loves
the stuff), ¼ teaspoon of Basil, ¼ teaspoon of Thyme, ¼
teaspoon of Oregano with ¼ teaspoon of Sea Kelp for the salty taste we
like to have in the recipe. Now when the water begins to boil, turn it down
to the lowest heat for exactly 1 hour then shut the stove off completely and
when you're ready to eat it, it will be a staple for the noon meal with whatever
vegetables you like making sure you observe the Rules of Food Combining as found
in "The Food Combining Guide"! If you would like to have a FREE pocket size version of it, send a #10 SASE

Now what is this Thermos Bottle Cooking I referred to earlier. Bring your water
(with the rice included in the water) to a boil for 3 minutes, then immediately
pour it into your Thermos Bottle and cap if off right then and at Noon you have
an excellent dish of fresh rice to enjoy for that noon meal. The rice will continue
to cook all morning in the thermos slowly while you are at work. Thanks for
letting me know each week for all those who are taking the time to let me know
how you are enjoying this labor of love trusting that they will always help
to be an adjunct to your health. Stay Terrific, you are truly the light of someone's
life!
