All I Need

Jan 31, 2013

Lunchtime here in the office....one of the items I picked up last night (in the interest of time for today, since I knew I wouldn't have time to cook last night in prep for today) was microwavable brown and wild rice. We usually eat the Uncle Ben's brand Original Long Grain and Wild Rice, so I did pick up a couple of boxes of that so I can cook it the night before and have it ready. Uncle Ben's didn't have any of the single-serve ready ones in a little cup, though, so I went with Rice-a-Roni Brown and Wild Rice. Not a good choice. I mixed it with my green beans--which I'd been planning to eat straight from the can--to liven it up. No luck. It still had a faint cardboard aftertaste. Salt didn't help much either. So lesson learned...stick with Uncle Ben. I mean, he IS family, after all. So all in all, my lunch was not quite as exciting as it was yesterday, but I'm nourished, and it's all I need.
