'Just before writing this, I enjoyed it with crab meat, tomatoes, asparagus, and a poached egg'
Photo: Jenna Milliner-Waddell Rice isn’t good. At least, that’s what I thought for the first 20 years of my life. I have yet to meet anyone who agrees with my younger self, but I said what I said. And unlike other things that I claim not to like, I had at least tried rice before. I grew up in a Caribbean household and had been forced to eat my fair share of rice dishes, and I still didn’t like it. No one’s rice and peas, okra rice, or black-eyed peas and rice could make me enjoy the stuff.
Seeds of Change Quinoa and Whole Grain Brown Rice $3 $3 at Thrive Market Buy $3 at Fresh Direct Buy We went back to Costco that same weekend for me to get my own box to take back to college, and it became what I would now call my “struggle meal” — something I eat when there’s no food and little money to buy any — but at the time, I really thought I was eating good. My favorite way to prepare it was with melted cheese, two fried eggs on top, finished with a sriracha drizzle. No eggs? No problem.
I took a pause on these Seeds of Change pouches after I graduated, but they’ve once again become a pantry staple in quarantine. Each pouch has a long shelf life, can accompany almost any main dish or be eaten alone, and for me, there’s a nostalgic quality about it that’s comforting during these times. And while I stand by my original recipe, my preparation of this rice has matured a bit: We’re making rice bowls now.
