This document is great. I was putting together some recipes that I got off the internet that are similar to these in the pdf file. I'm not finished with them, but I'll post what I do have. Since I have so much rice, I figured that I would get bored with eating it all the time, but using different recipes should change spice it up a bit. Plus, I know which seasonings to store.
