We have some sort of rice dish about 4 to 5 days a week. I really love rice. It is filling. I sometimes saute onions,red bell peppers, and garlic in butter then pour in the uncooked rice and saute it for a little bit then add the water and cover and cook. I like it like that.

In my country, ideally we have rice for all three meals. Definitely we have rice for the lunch and some people would have something other than rice either for breakfast or dinner. I used to have something else for breakfast during last few months. Today I had rice in the morning after long time. I feel that it's better to have rice for all the breakfasts. That gives more strength to work.

I am not a big rice fan. The only time I eat rice is when I go to ethnic restaurants where it's served. I don't mind the way they do it at the Greek restaruant. when I go to the chinese Restaurant it's OK there too, but I much prefer the noodles. I guess it's because I was forced to eat too much rice as a child. I don't know... My family ate a lot of rice, and I got sick of it.

Not very often. I do not like rice, and neither do many of my family members so it is not something that goes on the shopping list all that often. My kids do like the egg fried rice from the chinese takeaway though so we have that occasionally.

That's allot of rice! I don't quite eat it as often as you as my favourite easy meals are pasta based. We do eat it probably three times a week though, normally with a veggie curry of some sort.

I would have to try that next time since it sound like a good recipe. I don't think we are allowed to post recipes on here which was stated on the posting somewhere here. I sometimes have my cooked rice with Spam, which is lately, and sometimes with salted chicken which I add salt to raw chicken before I stick it in with my uncooked rice. It actually cook all the way which is amazing. You should try it sometimes but I personally don't like to cook rice in a pan though. I'm chinese soused to cooking rice in my rice cooker.

Actually it is not a recipe as all I said is I like my rice sauted with onions,peppers and then cooked. Kind of like saying I like turkey baked,fried or boiled. no specifics. Just ways to cook it. Now had i posted Here's a good rice recipe then yeah that would violate that rule. LOL. The recipe cannot be the start of the post or what the post is about. Here it is not the post is about how often and how ou eat rice. LOL

Oh ok. I was making sure it wasn't violated. I violated two different posts of mine before due to posting my email address and some other personal stuff on here. I would really like to try out your recipe someday and I hope that you would do the same with mine. I like that we get to connect and try out others stuff when it comes to recipes, or whatever it is. Thanks for sharing and wish you the best of luck on getting more people to respond to you more. Oh yeah. Was wondering. Are you close to the payment payout thing yet which the lowest is $10. I'm under $2 away which I am happy.

I am close to payout. I have made payout every month since June. I am about two bucks away. That is why I am working so hard. The month got away from me so I am playing catch up.

I used to eat rice 3 or 4 times a week, but I lately (last 2 or 3 months), I can't say that I have eaten any rice. Now that I am thinking about it, I will probably have rice today or tomorrow. I like it with chicken.

Rice being the staple food here in India, I have rice daily! And not just me, almost everyone here has rice daily. Of course there are a variety of dishes along with rice, but rice somehow is a standard at all places!

Hi sweetdesign, I am from Philippines and we normally eat rice everyday. And I prefer plain rice and eat it with vegetables or any kind of meat or seafoods. But now that I'm far away from my country and surrounded with the people that doesn't eat rice everyday! I learn not to eat rice everyday and its okay, lol. Have a nice day.
