As a kid I never had real rice. My mother always used the Minute Rice. A weekly meal at our house was a box of Banquet Fried Chicken with Minute Rice with probably canned corn.
I remember sitting down to eat dinner one night and something about the Minute Rice caught my eye. It looked like it was moving on my plate or I was tripping. I asked my mother who had a mouth full of the rice at the moment if the rice was actually moving. She looked at the rice on her plate and all of a sudden the contents in her mouth spewed out. Bear Giles she was not.... The little black dots moving around were not black pepper. They were the eyes of the little critters that had been living in that box of rice. The 1 minute bath in boiling water surely didn't cook them.
To this day, over 40 years later, I can't get the image of the expression of my mother's face out of my mind. I so enjoy long cooking rice.

That meal of minute rice, banquet fried and frozen chicken plus canned corn is exactly what my Mom would make for dinner. Everything was pre-made at our house. That's probably why I have rebelled against that with a force. I love to cook regular rice and if you are only making enough for two to have for dinner 1/2 cup of rice cooked with a cup of water or stock in a sauce pan won't take longer to do than the rest of the meal.
I love stuffed peppers but I haven't made them in years because I'm peeved at how much the grocery store wants to charge me for peppers most of the time. I just don't understand why they are so danged expensive. Anyway when my pepper plants start producing I will be making stuffed peppers. I'm with Cathy, I like to do mine with tomato sauce.
