But there's also a lot of parboiled rice around here, so I should try the recipe.<br />Nothing like brunch, truly - Prachi (desiknitter)http://dhaagedore.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611609.post-21703711580812196252012-03-21T12:13:51.586-05:002012-03-21T12:13:51.586-05:00Baby is doing great, thanks for asking!
