Good luck with that. Rice lasts us a long time because we just don't eat
it very often, and that is probably because neither one of us likes it
much. I make a curry with leftover lamb, and I make a Thai chicken and
coconut milk curry, and we have those on rice. And that is about the
only use we have for rice. I keep arborio rice on hand to make rice
pudding. It is a good way to use up old milk, but now we use so little
milk that we get it by the liter, so there is seldom enough milk to
make a batch.

One of these days I want to try making rissoto.
