That was because the pot doesnt make smaller amounts.  Not that I'd expect you
to deliberately make 6 cups total yield just to test it, but I bet if you did
you wouldnt have that happen.

ml> yeah... i've gotten (back) to where i eat rice over potatos or mac'n'c

ml> rice... i've even packed it together and made fried rice fingers like
ml> one does when making fried grits with leftover grits...

I make a sort of butter-fried rice here with the leftovers sometimes. I'll post
it at the bottom.

ml> we've looked and looked but can only seem to find jasmine (by mahatma)

 CS> No bright yellow bags of Calrose?  Sometimes the bags are white

ml> nope... it is foodlion (house) brand or mahatma... i've not been to th

Ah well.  If you do see it later, that would be the one to try out.

I'm not a big eggplant fan.  I make it sometimes when the glut hits here, but I
dont miss it out of season at all.

      Title: Xxcarol's Fried Rice
 Categories: Xxcarol, Rice
      Yield: 2 Servings
 
      2 c  Leftover sticky rice
      2 tb Butter
      3 tb Olive oil
    3/4 c  Chopped brocoli
    1/2 c  Chopped califlower
      2 ts Patis
 
  This is a fast fix with much variation possible.  I make this very
  rarely so MM'd this one based on what I had handy.  We had a big
  lunch with a good 9oz each of seafoods.  The rice was the leftover
  parts mixed with a bit of shrimp that was used to stuff a squid.  I
  wasnt even remotely hungry yet again, when the 'child alarm' went
  off.  (Mom, whats for dinner?  ARGH!).
  
  So, I looked in the fridge and what did I see?  A container of rice
  with shrimp bits galore!  I spied also a platter of veggies, about to
  expire, and so the meal was about to be true epicure!
  
  Toss the butter in a frying pan, with the oil and the veggies, and
  then grab the leftover rice and dump it in.  Sprinkle Patis (fish
  sauce) and if you like, just before done, add a raw egg and stir it
  in.
  
  This version isnt meant to be cooked til 'starting to brown' but is a
  very fast 4 mins max meal.  Ok, I'm guilty.  There's a 'Walking with
  Dinosaurs' show about to start that I havent seen yet!  We both wanna
  watch it.
  
  Optional additions:  Millions in other recipes, but for this butter
  mix think of black olives, butter beans, green beans as perfect.
  
  Serve with:  Iced Tea, Apple juice, or if a kid 'milk rulz'!
