| When
you make this rice, be sure to add a nice bit of butter. As long as you follow
the rule to never eat more than you can lift, you'll be fine!
1 cup of basmati rice (from India
ONLY, the rice from California sucks)
1 chunk of butter
4 cups of champagne
Salt Put
the rice in a bowl, and rinse with water. You can rub your fingers through the
rice and keep changing the water until it is clear, probably after 8 changes or
so. Cover
the rice with water and soak for 30 minutes. While the rice is soaking, take the
4 cups of champagne and pour into two glasses. Drink with your date. Heat
up 1.5 cups of water to a boil in a 1.5 quart pot and chuck in your chunk of butter
and a pinch of salt. Strain
your rice, then put it in the boiling water, lower the heat to the absolute lowest
point and cover. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and let it sit
for 5 more minutes. Fluff and serve. If
you follow the above directions, then the rice will be perfect, just like your
relationship! If you mess it up, you can blame it on the champagne. You can't
lose, which to us is perfection! Serves
