learning real tastes

I'm sure I clipped this Rice-Pasta Pilaf recipe years ago thinking, "Hey, this looks like Rice-A-Roni," because the best way to get the people I know to try new things is to tuck it in something familiar. The key here is the cilantro. If it looks like too much, it's probably not enough. We had enough rice for leftovers the next day and I had to season it again. Also, if you really want it to look like Rice-A-Roni you have to break your spaghetti into super-small pieces. I wasn't too worried about it.

I'm sure you want a cereal update. I only have one in the pipeline right now, probably next week.

I have plenty of recipes but none which triggered an immediate response of, "I must try this." Also, I'd never purchased cumin before.

Actually, all of the spices work well together, even the little tang of thyme. I think I'll be trying it on salmon next.
