Spanish Rice finally done right

Made Spanish Rice.

It exploded.

2 CUPS RICE, 4 CUPS WATER...

I usually don't like Spanish Rice because it tastes funny. But I tried a recipe I found & this may be The One.

It calls for Coriander / Cilantro. I used a dash of Curry Powder instead. I sauteed minced garlic in oil before adding the rice to brown. I used a cube for Beef Bouillon instead of Chicken or no salt added chicken broth. And instead of Garlic Pepper I used Black Pepper since garlic was already in there. The 8 ounces no salt tomato sauce was from Amazon.

Initial taste tests indicate a decent flavor & no sourness. Let's try again after cooling in the fridge

I'm doing it today because it won't get done if I don't...

Yesterday was 1 Huge Do. I got out relatively early to get my monies & then over to Didney Drug Mart for payments & pills. Finally secured a 9 volt battery for my voltmeter. I had cleaned it out months ago after discovering the decimal point wasn't showing up & opening it up showed an impossible bug invasion of you know what. Thankfully a thorough cleaning was possible but that decimal point was stubborn. It was only last week I found the battery had exhausted itself. I don't recall ever changing it! A new alkaline battery has the display working crisp & decimal point as well. I had DDM points to get it for free. Free milk will have to wait.

Grabbed some clearance Valentine's candy at 75 cents each. Small little 3 piece chocolates. It's worth the price of admission. And they still had Voortman's Egg Nog Wafers??

My past entries at this time of year mention the return of those cheap freezer pops but I didn't see any. They're usually on the end display.

My other Huge Do was seeing Dr. Snuffleupagus. I fail to see the point of a guy who talks to me for maybe 10 minutes & lets me go. Maybe my ability to appear tells him plenty?? I do it for the refills. I need to call Dr. Joni for Xarelto though...

I paid dearly for my transgressions as my right leg has sore joints & today is Recovery Mode... & tomorrow...

But hey at least I didn't get the runs from my picked-over slightly moldy thick crusted bread loaves! I bought 2 on Wednesday & mostly forgot about them until Monday. Craving peekza, I picked off the moldy spots, microwaved for 90 seconds, topped them with sauce & Queso, then baked at 350° F for 15 minutes. Came out cripsy & yum! Had some for breakfast. So there's that.
