Simple Tasty Stocking Stuffer
Rice for the holidays? Why not? I picked up 7 bags to give to various out-of-town friends and family who are not blessed with having access to Greg Massa's organic brown rice, which is grown about 20 minutes west of Chico. I think it is the perfect gift for someone who cooks. It is healthy, tasty, and unique. It helps to support a good local guy who is doing good things for the right reasons. And at $3.50/bag at Chico Natural Foods or S & S (or $3.00 directly from Greg at the Chico Farmers' Market) it didn't break my holiday budget.
The ribbons were saved from gifts we received in the past year.

How to cook rice:
1) In a pot, add twice as much water as rice.
2) Bring to a boil.
3) Stir once, cover pot, reduce heat to low and let simmer until all water is absorbed (about 45-60) minutes).
4) Rice is done.
