“How does your family/your culture cook rice?” (credit: Dr. Amber Spry) If you don't cook/eat rice share something about what you do cook and/or eat with your family & friends. Perhaps you cook grits, oatmeal, bread, or another favorite or traditional family dish. 

I wish we could all get together and share a meal. Cooking together and sharing a meal are great ways to build relationships and community.

It is a very common dish that is easy and delicious. The dish has chicken, rice, peppers, garlic, vegetables like carrots, peas, and beans and saffron which gives the rice a yellowish color.]]> 2022-09-06 16:04:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lauracordova6203/quaurlh8l7a5e8xs/wish/2284928387 https://padlet.com/lauracordova6203/quaurlh8l7a5e8xs/wish/2287054635 My family buys microwaveable or boil-in-bag rice. It's quick and easy, but I think all the plastic from it is kind of wasteful and not cost-effective, so I plan to get a rice cooker when I live on my own.
We have rice with a lot of meals, whenever we have chicken and rice, tacos or fajitas, or make our own Chinese food, which we all have a lot. ]]> 2022-09-07 19:36:21 UTC https://padlet.com/lauracordova6203/quaurlh8l7a5e8xs/wish/2287054635 https://padlet.com/lauracordova6203/quaurlh8l7a5e8xs/wish/2291254468 My family eats Jasmine rice with almost every meal. It takes a while to cook because my mom cleans the rice before she cooks it. Once its finished cooking she adds butter and honey to it. The only time we don't eat rice is when we're having breakfast.]]> 2022-09-11 16:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lauracordova6203/quaurlh8l7a5e8xs/wish/2291254468 https://padlet.com/lauracordova6203/quaurlh8l7a5e8xs/wish/2291446306 My family usually makes rice with corn in it. We eat rice with almost every meal. Most of the food we eat has rice as a side dish because the food is supposed to be mixed or eaten along side the rice. We rarely ever have our meals without rice.]]> 2022-09-11 22:13:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lauracordova6203/quaurlh8l7a5e8xs/wish/2291446306 https://padlet.com/lauracordova6203/quaurlh8l7a5e8xs/wish/2291622235 My family eats rice a few nights a week. I guess we consistently eat it with beans. everyone put what they want on the beans and it kind of flavors the rice. It might be hot sauce or lime. It's simple and I come from a big family so it has always been better to have meals that everyone can customize. ]]> 2022-09-12 02:45:58 UTC https://padlet.com/lauracordova6203/quaurlh8l7a5e8xs/wish/2291622235 https://padlet.com/lauracordova6203/quaurlh8l7a5e8xs/wish/2395995434 My family and I have so many different types of rice that we eat, but he main one that is popular in my country is Jasmine rice. In Africa, Rice is one of the main dish that we eat alot. It could be rice made with stew, or rice that we change the look of eat such as, fried rice or as we call it Jollof rice. Or we could eat Rice with many different types of soups, as one of my favorites being, light soup.]]> 2022-11-23 20:24:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lauracordova6203/quaurlh8l7a5e8xs/wish/2395995434
