This is so obvious that y'all already know it but just in case there is someone who's been in a cave for a decade:
The other night I fixed okra and tomatoes which has bacon in it and goes well over rice. I had cooked some bacon slices in a frying pan and then rather than fixing the rice the "normal" way I toasted it in the frying pan after draining most of the bacon grease. Then I cooked it in chicken broth. Toasting the rice in bacon grease really gave it a great taste. So, for the one person out there who hasn't done this, you may want to try it to kick your rice up a little bit. Dee
