Sorry to hear your diabetic Ramesh there are alot of good vegetarian recipes out there they would hep with the diet. I might put them on here. I dont eat alot of meat so I tend to look for alot of vegetarian dishes. Exercise does help with the blood sugar levels and cardio. I have a family member who has diabetes and so I know how hard it can be on you.

Do you ever eat brown rice. I like rice and peas and chicken! Its great. But its a carb that I try and stay away from alot of that. but I must say I have a sweet tooth. :icon_mrgr

[Arch_Angel]

No, I don't eat brown rice. Only white rice. Never even knew there were other types of rice, till I was in my 20's. Mother grew me up on white rice.

[Cocoa]

I eat yellow rice, brown rice, white rice, spanish rice, rice porridge, rice pilaf, rice grain, rice with anything....I love rice! :D

[AngelsKiss]

I dont eat much rice these days and when I do it has to be rice and peas. I prefer pasta and potatoes and bread. I am sick of rice and chicken as well. Don't much cook chicken these days either.

[Drew]

[Kitten]

Here is a dirty rice recipe it come from New Orleans. Thats what they call dirty rice.

Cajun Dirty Rice
I Hear America Cooking - Betty Fussell

3/4 pound chicken gizzards
3 1/2 cups hot chicken or beef broth
2 tablespoons chicken, pork, or bacon fat
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 cup each chopped onions, celery, green pepper -- and green onion tops
2 cloves garlic -- minced
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or dash Tabasco sauce
1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
1/2 pound chicken livers -- minced

Simmer gizzards in broth for 20 to 30 minutes, remove with slotted spoon, and grind or chop fine. Heat fat and half the butter (2 tablespoons) in a heavy casserole. Sauté the pork and gizzards over high heat until browned. Lower heat, add vegetables and seasonings, and cook until vegetables are wilted, about 5 minutes. Add rice and reserved broth, bring rapidly to a boil, stir once, cover, and lower heat. Simmer 15 minutes.

Sauté minced chicken livers in remaining butter for only 2 to 3 minutes ( they should still be faintly pink). Toss with the rice, taste for seasoning, and adjust. Cover and let rice fluff in a low (225degree) oven for 10 minutes (the rice becomes very moist with the addition of the vegetables).
Serves 4 to 6 as a main dish.

[Drew]

exactly tastee. kitten didn't know the difference between wild rice and white rice with colouring. all i was doing was to clarify her facts and she got upset. u seem to take words a little better than your friend.

[Tastee]

I wouldnt say that I think she was looking a the terms that people use here and what you may call are different things. Shes no dummy believe me. I wish I had her paper in my pocket. Take it up with her she can handle herself.

[Cocoa]

[Arch_Angel]

But why call it fry rice when di someting not fried? Why dem don't fry di rice and stop fool me wid di soy sauce? *kiss teet*

[Kitten]

the point is shes a walking book!!! I can tell you that her parents gave her a good education. have you seen her pic. I have one of her she is a beautiful girl.

Thanks Tastee for the compliment Im always amused when it comes to Drew he thinks that something as trivial as him knowing the definitive of brown rice would upset me. I have no idea how he came to that conclusion.

[Drew]

:icon_arro AA, hush when you meet the big man you can ask him, and don't forget to ask him about sausages also.

:icon_arro kitten because u get offended easily by the simplest of things kitten.

[Kitten]

I went back to what I wrote and I dont see that. Maybe you should look again to what I wrote.
