Most of my life I would barely eat ordinary plain rice except at Chinese
restaurants. I did like rice pilaf if it was loaded with other things.
However, in the past few years I find myself literally craving plain white
rice served with brown gravy. It's also one thing David really likes, so
we have it at least once every one to two weeks.

I have always like a well made rice pudding, however.
