  1. This is one of my favorite recipes and its very good for a nothing in the cupboard dinner. I didn't use rosemary. Would make again and again.
     
  2. really good rice ..thank you
     
  3. One of my favorite dishes! I usually add a bit of coconut milk to my rice and beans as well. Great w/banan, legume, or some type of tassot.
     
  4. Bar none, this is the best haitian rice and beans i have ever eaten including in haiti. (and i made a mistake forgetting to reserve the bean liquid until i poured all but a 1/2 c out) The aroma is enough to make you want it to finish faster. Pure comfort food thats good for you too.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
