Brown rice, white rice

[limey]

Sorry, I should have said "boil-in-the-bag" is not an option (I don't think. I'll have to try to do a cost/benefit analysis of extra power on heating two pans vs cost of boil in bag sort ... hmmm. Meanwhile I have quite a large bag of white rice to feed him in the meanwhile!)
I know you'd have some great answers! Keep 'em coming!
And yes, wild rice is fab, but Mr L doesn't think so.
In fact at the local farmers' market today I noticed that I am drawn to the unusual veg (purple spuds), but Mr L no likeee. Perhaps I should just blindfold him.
