Every winter, our workout group has a potluck. Our hostess, Shawn, selects a theme, there are often costumes and always a ton of fun! The theme of our first post-covid event was middle eastern. Although Shawn's entrée was a close second, for me the star of the evening was Paula's rice. It's rare that rice takes top honours at any meal but, this rice was so delicious that I took some home, had it for breakfast and then made a batch that evening and ate it all week.

I've served this so many times that it is now simply known as "the" rice!
