MOCK OYSTER STEW
1 or 2 eggplants

salt & pepper to
ur taste
Peel eggplant and cut into thumb size cubes. Pour milk in a sauce pan; add butter and eggplant. Simmer (do not boil) ingredients for about 15-20 min. You can strain or leave eggplant in stew (I let it stay where its at) I promise it tastes just like oyster stew. My Mama made when I was a kid when she was hungry for oysters and they were outta season. You don't have the oysters, but the stew tastes amazingly just like you had oysters in it. But I don't eat the oysters anyway so I give them to my husband. Try it at least one time and I promise you'll do it again!

THE WAY I
COOK MY RICE

This
way you can have perfect rice every time ,w/o having overcooked or sticky but

not done cook for about 3 more min. When cooked, drain in a sm. holed colander
and rinse with a pot of hot fresh water to get all the starch out.(which is what
makes it sticky) Let drain for about 5 min and pour into a bowl for serving.
