OK, I Lied
May. 21st, 2006 07:54 pmI didn't buy thirty pounds of rice this weekend. I bought sixty. Here is a picture:

So the current project is documenting Persian rice. I did find this website (http://www.asiafood.org/persiancooking/rice.cfm) which says the fanciest rice dishes are from the 1800s. But I have found period references to saffron rice with flavors like rosewater and nightingale wings. So as long as I don't get TOO fancy I am good :)
