Going Galt with Rolls Royce Rice!
I realize it's self-indulgent to carry on about the love affair I'm having with my rice cooker, but I just made a big pot of Sushi rice, and wow! It's as addictive as salt and vinegar potato chips. Which isn't surprising, considering that virtually all Sushi rice recipes call for rice vinegar and salt. But the main ingredient is of course Sushi rice. I bought a 5 pound bag yesterday, and at $6.50, it seemed a little pricey, but I learned that it's a top brand -- "the rice true connoisseurs treasure above all others" -- which sells for much more at Amazon.com. (It's a world leader in gourmet rice, and is proudly grown in the USA.)
Amazing stuff. A true delicacy, and not only does it go with anything, but even eaten alone it tastes as good as any junk food I've eaten. At this rate, I will soon become a "fan tong." (That's a Chinese expression which means going John Galt.) You'd think I'd be properly ashamed. posted by Eric on 03.29.10 at 02:51 PM

and muh spel chekr is malfd... RT · March 29, 2010 03:17 PM My favorite rice, of late become very hard to find in my Brooklyn neighborhood—the price is way up and one local storeowner told us that he just couldn't sell enough to justify keeping it in stock. HMI · March 29, 2010 07:05 PM We use Nishiki rice. The store has stopped selling 20 pound bags and now only offers 50 pound. However, it is significantly cheaper to buy it this way. You get the 50 pound bag for what it would cost for two 20 pound bags. RT · March 29, 2010 10:43 PM Post a comment

One thing you might want to look for, is the preservative balls that are used when cooking rice. ( unless you eat it so quicly that you don't need them ). They look like paintballs, with a clear gel capsule. You drop them in with the rice and water before it starts cooking. Helps the rice stay freash longer, and I think adds some vitamins to the process as well.
