Phil would die a quick and bitter death here. Tonight's forecast is
for -43 C plus 20 km/hour winds which gives us a windchill factor of
-60 C or 76 effing (pun intended) degrees below 0! I sure do hope
that the forecast is wrong.

Fudd's made a decent burger for the price so if you can do better,
you're doing well. The one nearest me (Edmonton) closed up as well.

That's tres post modern industrial chic doncha know. All sorts of
places are ripping out their suspended ceilings and painting the
exposed ceiling black or red with bright yellow, orange and purple
pipes and air conditioning ducts.

     Title: Hippie Rice   
Categories: Vegetarian, Main Dish, Tofu, Rice
  Servings: 4

    1/3 c  sunflower seeds
      1 c  any long-grain brown rice
           Salt
      1    head broccoli, cored and
           roughly chopped
      2 TB olive oil
    1/3 c  raisins
    1/2 ts red chile flakes, or to
           taste
           Lemon wedges

This recipe is sure to please your nostalgic inner hippie. How wrong
can you go with brown rice, broccoli, sunflower seeds, and raisins?
For best results, serve while wearing a tie-dyed apron and playing
folk music in a VW van. Up the hippie ante with tofu.

1. Put the sunflower seeds in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat
and toast, shaking the pan often, until they begin to brown but
don’t burn, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the seeds from the pan and let
cool in a big serving bowl.

2. Put the rice in the pan and add water to cover by about 1 inch.
Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then
adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles gently. Cover and cook until
most of the water is absorbed and the rice is just getting tender,
20 to 30 minutes.

3. Pack the broccoli into the pan on top of the rice—don’t stir;
just leave it on top—and add a little more liquid if the water is
evaporating too quickly. Replace the lid and continue cooking,
adding a small amount of water if the pan boils dry, until the rice
and  broccoli are both tender, 5 to 10 more minutes. Transfer the
rice and broccoli to the bowl with the sunflower seeds and toss with
the oil, raisins, and red chile flakes. Taste and adjust the
seasoning. Serve immediately or at room temperature with the lemon
wedges.

Hippie Rice with Tofu. Use a large saucepan and add 1 pound cubed
tofu to the pan along with the broccoli in Step 3. Use extra-firm or
firm tofu if you want the cubes to keep their shape; use silken tofu
if you want it to melt into the rice.
