Jana - this post is for you! :-)If you are a fan of Dave Ramsey, you will certainly know what this caption means! :-)
Aaron and I are certainly surviving on more than beans and rice, but we sure do have plenty of rice to eat now!
We recently went to Jungle Jim's for the first time (a very interesting store) and bought this rice based on a tasty experience with our good friends, Matt and Erika! One is a sweet rice and the other is a "clumpy" rice. They have real names as you can see on the bags, but that's how we define them. They each have their "own" taste, but are both excellent!!

Yum! We love Jasmine rice!!
This picture cracked me up! We're lovin' Dave Ramsey, but have not quite resorted to "beans-n-rice". Fortunately, there are alternatives! How costly is the rice when you buy in that kind of bulk? I'm just curious. Also, if you have any killer recipes....
That ought to last you awhile:-)
haha. That much rice is hilarious. I don't know if I have ever seen that big of a bag of rice. Enjoy!! 8-)
guess what:-) I have your rice basket for cooking the sticky rice. Matts mom sent it out. The box came to our house this time:-) We need to get together some time or maybe Matt can drop it off one day.
Erika - Cool! We're anxious to learn how to use the rice basket!
Stephanie - If I remember right, the rice was around $10 a bag. One of my absolute favorite recipes is this (it's from Pampered Chef):
Thai Chicken Stir-Fry
Dressing
1 1-inch piece peeled fresh gingerroot, (grate and squeeze for juice only)
3/4 cup creamy poppy seed salad dressing
2 garlic cloves, pressed
Chicken Mixture
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, flattened and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/4 cup snipped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup peanuts, chopped
For dressing, use juice squeezed from gingerroot and combine with salad dressing and pressed garlic. Whisk until well blended and set aside.
For chicken mixture, flatten chicken to 1/2-inch thickness; cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Heat Stir-Fry Skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly spray skillet with oil. Add chicken to skillet in a single layer. Cook without stirring 2 minutes or until chicken begins to brown. Stir-fry 2-3 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink; remove from heat. Add basil, peanuts, and dressing; toss to coat.
Serve immediately over hot rice.
Very Yummy!
Reminds me of the bag Jeff got us that we're still using. :)
I love it!!!:-) I think I would enjoy trying out that store as well. For some reason, I have gotten on a kick of fixing "Chinese Cuisine". Tonight I fixed Chicken Lo Mein. I'm still trying to find red pepper pods in our little town so I can make "General Tso's Chicken". Can't wait to try your recipe. Sounds very yummy!!!
If you want to know how to make egg rolls that make your mouth water, I got the recipe (but it is a secret)! Asain food is my speciality
Matt - I insist that you share. Real friends share secrets, you know. If you refuse, then Aaron and I will demand that you keep making them for us. :-)
"Better than I deserve"! Another saying of Dave's! I am definitely a fan of his! I have seen him live twice! Great experience! I drove past Jungle Jim's! Looks interesting! What all is in it?
