Rice pudding. Jasmine is ideal, but whatever. TWENTY POUNDS OF RICE. Every type of curry imaginable.

Man, white rice is rough. I can't really eat it anymore. Go brown or go home.

Make a risotto! Saute some onions, add the dry rice until translucent, then add hot broth and cook it till soft. Eat with a chicken breast (do like tones's video, saute a little then cover) and make a sauce from the juices. Add a little lemon, too.

I have never been much of a fan of my red pasta sauces; they have always been more of a frugal utility than a craving. Today I made a batch a little differently than usual, and it turned out much, much better than what I have become accustomed to. Before washing the pan, I was spooning out the last bit that was in the pan, it was that good.

The ingredients list is quite simple: Two tablespoons of butter, half of a diced onion, a peeled and diced carrot, a small can (15 oz?) of whole tomatoes, a half-cup of chicken broth, pasta water, pepper, and some parmigiano-reggiano. Sautee the vegetables, add the tomatoes and broth, let it cook down while the pasta boils, puree the mess, then thin it out with the pasta water.

Pasta water? I know Mario Batali used to put some of the pasta water in his sauces before going to the plate, but it was to add some starch to it. Not for flavour or anything. He would never do it with heavy cream or marinara based sauces.
