Im sure this has to be one of the biggest topics lately and I just want to state my opinion on it. Rice to me isn't if the car has body kits and such but rice is the posing of parts or the attitude of the driver. Sure if a car has NOS stickers and it doesn't really have those parts its rice, but a car with body kits that may not appeal to you is not rice. I don't understand how it is. Go ahead and flame but thats just my opinion. I believe anyone can do whatever they want to do to there car as long as they don't have false stickers and such on there car. To each is there own.

To which a thread like this belongs in it's own forum. The automotive-related ones.

And, of course, it's an issue that's been mentioned hundreds of times around here.
 
Rice to 99.5% of the world is a staple of most healthy diets, and the main focus in the eating habits in many areas of the world.
To each there is their own.
 
Yes, Rice is a staple to many diets around the world. I tend to avoid it for the most part, as it's highly loaded with Carb's. Although mixed with a few veggies, and with a nice tenderloin sitting atop it is a fantastic dinner.

Now the "Boil in bag" minute rice is extremely unhealthy. The bag is manufactured with a non stick coating that when overheated will release nasty chemicals into the air. This solution of airborne chemicals can wreak havoc on a bird's air system.

i understand that steamed rice is healthier than fried rice but fried rice tastes much much better.

am i even on the right type of rice?:confused:

EDIT: To each there is their own.:lol:

Well, the thing is though, carbs from rice will go through your system a lot better than say, bread or cereal (and if you really wanna be healthy, go for the wild or black rice, like I had last night ;)). I think that's part of why obesity isn't as big of a problem in the Asian community – Rice is a staple carbohydrate instead of bread.

Anyway, rice is good, especially when it's still a little bit gluttonous (glutinous?). Yum.
 
rice isnt really there on most cars. most of the people who do that to cars have the horses to back it up. just cuz they put a wing a new paint job, and some stickers doesnt mean that its rice, it might have 400 horses under the hood of the beast. but then again, it might not.

chicken with rice is very good too. obesity is only a problem becuz people here happen to eat 3 McGrease burgers a day and it all builds up.
 
If you were to purchase a car whwere it has ugly spoilers of cause you'll change them so that it looks good while going 180 down a main street.

Oh. Rice with Gravy mixed with mince. Yummy yummy
 
You just can't beat rice for a quick and filling meal. 👍
 
Had some great jumbalaya the other night; very hot, but good. Oh, and it contained rice.
 
This thread is making me hungry. I want some chinese food now. Mmm...Szechuan (sp?) beef with vegatables and rice...mmmm.

I just polished off a meal of rice, curry, and shrimp. Yay!
 
I hate Hondas in general. My ex-girlfriend has a honda civic two door with a "v-tec":rolleyes: The damn thing is so slow I laughed at it. She drives it like its a racecar and she brings it up to redline before every shift. She thought it was fast. I laughed and made fun of her.

But, whatever, do what you want to your cars, looks are not going to win a race though.
 
Rice is pretty good. I get sick of it once in awhile because I eat like everyday.

Rice

This ancient and venerable grain has been cultivated since at least 5000BC anc archaeological exploration in China have uncoverd sealed pots of rice that are almost 8000 years old. Today rice is a staple for almost half the worlds population.

There are many types of rice:

long-grain rice such as East Indian "Basmati."

Short-grain rice such as Italian "Arborio" which is used frequently in the technique known as "Risotto." Yummy. :)

Medium grain and Brown rice

White rice has had the jusk, bran and germ removed. For converted or parboiled white rice, the unhulled grain has been soaked, pressure-steamed and dried befor milling. This treatment gelatinizes the starch in the grain (for fluffy, separated cooked rice) and infuses some of the nutrients of the bran and germ into the kernel's heart.

Rice, which is cholesterol and gluten-free, is low in sodium, contains only a trace of fat and is an excellent source of complex carbohydrates. Enriched or converted rice contains calcuim, iron and many B-complex vitamins, with brown rice being slightly richer in all the nutrients.

Ricer

This kitchen utensil resembles a large garlic press. Cooked food such as potatoes, carrots or turnips is placed in the container. A lever-p[erated plunger is pushed down into the food, forcing it out through numerous tiny holesin the bottom of the container. The result is food that vaguely resembes grains of rece. Ricers come in a variety of shapes, the most common being a 3-4 inch round basket or a V-shaped bucket. They're originally made of chromed steel or cast aluminum and can be found in specialty cookware shops.

So there you go, all you ever wanted to know about rice and ricers. :)

:lol: spoken like a true chef!
 
Ooh, East Indian Basmati. That sounds dirty. I like it. I had rice yesterday. I ate it for dinner. It was good. I write simple sentences.

Ricers are made of chrome? Never would have guessed.
 
I just made some homemade Spanish rice and Enchiladas for dinner tonight, yummy.

I also made some Bami, an Indoniesn rice dish, on Sunday.
 
You got a recipe for this Bami dish Solid. If so, post it up. I'm curious as to what it is.

Oops! I caught my mistake a little too late. It's Nasi, not Bami. Bami is the noodle dish.

I use a Nasi rice mix that comes from Holland. I get it from my mom. She goes to Holland once a year, and brings back the packages. It's called Conimex: Nasi Goreng.You can go to www.conimex.nl and maybe see it there. You add water to the mix, cook some rice, brown some chicken, brown an onion, fry some scrambled eggs, then combine everything together with fish sauce and peanut sauce. Great stuff!

EDIT: OK, I just went to the web site and I couldn't find it. Boom, you can maybe check some Dutch stores, often called bakeries, for the mix. That's if you have some in your area. Sorry for wetting your appetite.
 
Just don't go to Mr. Chows unless you are planning on killing yourself?
 
Rice is great. We only ever use Basmati in our house, but I keep a box of Arbori for when the wife is away. She doesn't like risotto.

It's a funny thing. A lot of people claim not to be able to cook proper, al dente, separated rice. They say it comes out all soggy and glutinous (Sage: that was the word you were looking for. Gluttonous is what you are if you eat lots and lots and lots of rice. It's one of the "seven deadly"). And then there are lots of people who claim to have a surefire way of boiling rice properly, but whenever they cook for you, you get lumps of glutinous stuff. I learned how to cook rice from my mother, and it always works for me.

Anyway, if you're a student, rice, potatoes, pasta and onions are your friends: cheap and nutritious ways to bulk out your meals.

Rice = Great.

You're joking, right? Or is this just wishful thinking? Because 8 out of the 10 cars you see like this on the street have an automatic transmission and the "horsepower mods" consist of a fart cannon, and, if the owner is adventurous, a set of oversized, overpriced, bright blue plug wires.

Oh, my, that's a real shame. Risotto is one of my many pleasures. My wife makes excellent risotto. It's great with peas stirred in and a little Romano cheese freshly shaved from the block over it, next to a sauteed chicken breast. But I guess I'm preaching to the choir.

But you refuse to share...?

last night for dinner I sauteed up some chicken breasts with garlic and a very few strips of bacon, then made some Zatarain's Black Beans and Rice (double batch, with an extra can of black beans thrown in). Crumble the bacon and stir it into the rice, sprinkle with Tobasco, and yum! I'm looking forward to the leftovers.
 
This intrigues me... if a car is made out of rice, what will that car be called? :confused:
