Rice and Paris

Y'all cook your rice in the microwave, right? I'm sure I'm the last to know, but just in case:

Microwave Rice
(no sticking! no mess!)

1 cup long or medium grain rice
2 cups water or chicken stock

Add ingredients to 2-3 qt microwave-safe dish. Cover with lid or wax paper. Cook 5 minutes on High, then 13 minutes on Medium (50%). Brown rice takes 30 minutes on Medium instead of 13 minutes.

I'm making cilantro-lime rice. When your rice is done, add 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, the juice of 2 limes, the zest of 1 lime, and salt to taste. Yummo!

And Paris Hilton... I'm sooo relieved that socialites don't have to serve their sentences in regular jails with regular criminals when they commit crimes. Whew!
