a) this looks great, b) a serving alternative would be that once it returns to a boil, add (white) rice equal to a little less than 1/2 the liquid volume (about a cup and a half for the written recipe) and stick it (covered) into the oven (350F) for about 20 minutes. I'd probably add a touch of salt, too.

I saw him live at least 2, maybe more times back in the 90s. He's really great.

Happy Birthday.

Alan Alda is a national treasure. He has a podcast called Clear+Vivid where he talks to interesting people. It's great. And it's a nice diversion from everything being political.

Last year I sold a domain I had for 20 years or so. It quickly became into a crypto site, but has now turned into an AI site.

Happy Birthday
