Rice A Roni tonight

I made Rice A Roni tonight. I've not had it for at least 10 years, now
I remember why.
A friend had it one day and mentioned it to me. She is recovery from
hip surgery and her son made it. Couple of days later, I was in Publix
and it was on sale, BOGO, so why not?
I like potatoes, any type, any prep, but once in a while a change of
pace is good. Prep and cooking time is about 30 minutes. Easy enough
to do.
Is is OK, fairly tasty, easy enough to prepare. It was a nice change
from my routine, not so good that it will be part of my regular fare.
I have two since it was BOGO but the other box will be donated to the
local food pantry.

I remember having that once in 1971. I was hanging out with a friend who
was recently divorced and had moved back with his parents. The parents
were out. Another guy came by and we were going to have dinner. I called
a girl I had recently met and ended up inviting her to join us. She was
pretty good at disguising her disappointment at the menu. I must have
made up for it because I ended up moving in with her and a year later we
got married.
That was the last time I had Rice A Roni.

Gosh, I never thought of it as a romantic food but I guess it worked for
you.

When I occasionally prepare it I will cube a good size boneless,
skinless chicken breast. It goes in the skillet with the rice
and vermicelli to brown. Then the water and seasoning packet;
this would be the chicken flavored Rice-a-Roni. It's not a bad
dinner but nothing I'd serve company either. It's something a
bit quick to prepare and it does contain the protein I'd crave.

Doesn't the chicken overcook? Rice-a-Roni takes like 20 minutes
to cook, and cubed chicken takes like 5 minutes.

I haven't noticed it being overdone/tough. It gets a decent
browning with the rice and vermicelli so it doesn't look quite
as naked. Then a gentle 20 minute simmering with the lid on
the pot. Chicken is pretty tender when dished up.

If I would have had to guess who here makes Rice-a-Roni a part of her
dinner rotation, I would have guessed correctly. I'd imagine it makes
more than one serving. Imagine it left over.

I make Rice-a-Roni once in a great while. My husband likes it. It's
ok; not bad, not good. I'd rather have plain, unsalted white rice
cooked in water.

I don't need to imagine what it's like left over. I've eaten it.
It's much like any other leftover rice.

It's awesome as a leftover - stir fries back to life great, but cold
rice is a fine treat on a very hot day.

Caution, you can't donate expired foods to the food pantry. They just
toss it. I don't know if yours was expired but check before donating.

Very much so.

The same holds for donations of bulk foods which show no expiry dating.

Which is a shame because rice and beans last almost forever.

That's wasteful. =( A lot of expired foods are perfectly fine. I use my
nose instead of the expiration date on a lot of foods.

I do too but our public food pantries aren't allowed to do that.
There's a bit of protest about it and during Covid, local volunteer
'garage pantries' often had separate shelves for expired stuff.
Generally, it was within 6 months (fine). I'll go further in my own
home depending on what it is.

A year ago there was a reportage in the news about people in sweden going
dumpster diving behind supermarkets to pick up all the food they throw
away. The reporter interviewed some enthusiast who said his food costs
were basically zero and he was very thankful for the supermarkets throwing
away all that food for him.

I think the supermarkets, at least the bigger ones, now have their trash
under lock and key to prevent that from happening.

I haven't, but I could. I nearly always buy traditional chicken-flavored,

1 pound ground beef or turkey
3 tablespoons margarine

Lunch today was leftovers - rice and garlic ahi from L&L Drive Inn. It
was quite tasty - even better than the original plate lunch. The next
time I get this plate, I'll be tempted to cut the fish and fry it with
the rice. All that's needed is some shoyu. I suppose that kim chee could
be added to the mess... er... mix. This dish was so good that I'll be
dreaming of the day until I can have it again. Here's the original
plate. Is that enough garlic?

I love ahi. I'll eat it raw with wasabi and shoyu, I'll eat it seared,
I'll eat it smothered with garlic. There's no such thing as poor quality
ahi in Hawaii.

chicken-flavored,
not low sodium, RAR. I made my own a couple of times with Herb-Ox chicken
powder, but it's easier to buy RAR in a box.

I'd only add that much garlic to very poor quality fish, otherwise
it's a waste of fish.

That one looks just like a panko and furikake crusted tenderloin fillet!

Did you slide one by us there?

Is is OK, fairly tasty, easy enough to prepare. It was a nice change
from my routine, not so good that it will be part of my regular fare.

It's an easy way to make a flavored, mostly rice side. I'm also a
generally potatoes guy. You can always fancy RAR up with chicken or beef
or pork or broccoli or carrots or...
I haven't, but I could. I nearly always buy traditional
chicken-flavored,
not low sodium, RAR. I made my own a couple of times with Herb-Ox chicken
powder, but it's easier to buy RAR in a box.

That's ahi. I don't remember what the coating is. There's furikake on
there but I don't remember what else. If you cook ahi properly, it's
like the finest beef steak you ever had. That's amazing.

That is insanely delish looking - beef fillet texture and color, wow.

Lunch today was leftovers - rice and garlic ahi from L&L Drive
Inn. It was quite tasty - even better than the original plate
lunch. The next time I get this plate, I'll be tempted to cut the
fish and fry it with the rice. All that's needed is some shoyu. I
suppose that kim chee could be added to the mess... er... mix.
This dish was so good that I'll be dreaming of the day until I
can have it again. Here's the original plate. Is that enough
garlic?

I'd only add that much garlic to very poor quality fish, otherwise
it's a waste of fish.

I love ahi. I'll eat it raw with wasabi and shoyu, I'll eat it seared,
I'll eat it smothered with garlic. There's no such thing as poor
quality ahi in Hawaii.

I made Rice A Roni tonight. I've not had it for at least 10 years, now
I remember why.

I remember why.
A friend had it one day and mentioned it to me. She is recovery from
hip surgery and her son made it. Couple of days later, I was in Publix
and it was on sale, BOGO, so why not?
I like potatoes, any type, any prep, but once in a while a change of
pace is good. Prep and cooking time is about 30 minutes. Easy enough
to do.

I have two since it was BOGO but the other box will be donated to the
local food pantry.

But hey, Leo and his wife like it. I keep forgetting to add it to my
shopping list.

Leo and his wife are so old that they can be forgiven for eating like
it's the 1960s. You're my age, and don't have that excuse. Hey, maybe
you could dump in a can of cream of soup.
