Tasty or an Abomination?

Pot of rice - steamed, boiled and fried; red, yellow and brown; plain, wild and Cajun; casseroled, baked, even caked. Just a few of the endless possibilities for preparing rice. This next celebration utilizes rice as its main ingredient but doesn't stop there as a plethora of mixings and toppings convert plain into "WOW!" A few of the added pluses include fruit for example apples, strawberries, raspberries or blueberries, nuts such as pecans, walnuts or hazelnuts, spices like cinnamon and sugar, whipped cream, chocolate syrup, sprinkles, crushed grahams or cookies, etc.
