    Has OP cooked the rice yet?

    Seriously. All this rice talk and we don't even know what the OP chose. I bet it was spaghetti.

    Regular or whole wheat?

    I tried whole wheat pasta once. I ended up eating pizza for dinner.

    Whole wheat pasta is gross.
    Thanks!

    I'm either making pasta or pizza tonight.

    Or both.
  • I don't think anyone mentioned arsenic exposure. Because rice absorbs inorganic arsenic when it is grown in areas where pesticides are used (or have been used in the past), rice consumption should be limited no matter which type. All of the research I've seen says that brown rice contains more arsenic than white rice. Since I prefer the taste and texture of white (especially Jasmine) anyway, this research has made me feel better about not buying brown rice anymore.

    I like hats.

    Don't be starting with that hat racism again. The rice racism in here is bad enough...

    Yes, it's been discussed, I think we have succesfully beat this one to death and are now working on the proverbial dead horse lol.

    Sorry, I'm new here. Didn't know there was a dead horse in the room already.

    Is that a brown horse, or a white horse?

    That is actually a thing. Google has just confirmed it.

    Everytime you think people must be making up stuff, it turns out it exists. World has gone mad.

    I'm sure there is a bigger market for this then just me here..
    I'd be perfectly happy if I never had to cook or cleanup every again. Yeah, I like to eat but if there was a pill I could take instead of eating I would, often. Until then I cook occasionally, eat raw and pre-packaged or prepared food, and dream of winning the lottery and hiring full-time chef.

    Just make sure you grab the right one if it's in the dish next to the squid ink noodles...

    I'm curious about black bean or lentil pasta, but not brave enough to buy it yet...

    I ate a lot of brown rice on the Wild Rose diet. I prefer basmati brown rice. I love having my kitchen fill with the smell while it is in the rice cooker. When eaten by itself, I like to cook it with salt, a lot of freshly ground black pepper, rosemary, and some butter. Most of the time I eat it with something else, though (i.e. stir fry, curry, or chili), and it just takes on the taste of whatever it is mixed with. I find it really helps me feel full, so it is probably more appropriate for a cut than a bulk.

    As far as eating all supplements, there are a lot of frozen dinners out there that only take minutes to make. Just add some frozen veggies, or bagged greens, and it's like eating real food. And, according to Futurama, eventually we'll have bachelor chow.
