Rice it up

I've cooked rice a few times now, as I found I quite like it. Now, I knew I liked rice before, but I hadn't really cooked it other than making risotto, which I've done a couple of times.

But rice is nice. I have a little pot that works well for the job and then I sautee some vegetables and throw the rice into them when it's finished cooking to mix it all up.

Thing about rice, of course, is that you can and stuff to it to make it taste many different ways. Today I used half apple juice and half water as the cooking liquid. When I tasted the rice to see it was done, I thought the AJ had made it too sweet, but in the end it was fine.

Last time I'd added celery salt to the rice when it was cooking, which gave it a nice savory taste in the end. I'm going to do that again for sure.
