I had completely forgotten that "red" rice! My mom always called it tomato
rice (grin) or spanish rice. What Anne likes is a rice that is red before
it's cooked a whole grained rice that is much like brown rice in texture
but has a bit more of a nutty flavor that Anne likes best! Particularly
with peanut sauce (which I suspect you would NOT prefer on yours! )

Last night we had an appt with Anne's financial advisor for her retirement
funds...and so we went out to a local pizza place and had a plain cheese pizza,
I wasn't really in the mood for pizza till I had that first bite...boy did it
hit the bingo spot!

-> 
-> And we're back in the mid 80s with good chance of rain most every day

Yesterday 73 degrees sunshine and no breeze, today 64 cloudy and slight
breeze...rain by evening
chat with you soon
