What's for dinner, Mon, June 29, 2026

I made a rice salad last night. Planning to eat that at dinnertime.

Rice salad is a lot like pasta salad, except with rice. I cooked up a pound of thick sliced bacon until I had rendered out the fat but no further, and allowed them to cool on paper towels to soak up excess grease. I cooked 1.5 cups long grain white rice (seasoned with chicken soup base and porcini mushroom powder), and rinsed it after it was done. I chopped up about a full bunch of green onions and cleaned a pint of heirloom grape tomatoes, cutting up the larger ones. When all this was in a bowl I mixed in a jar of salsa Verde.

I just tasted it. It's quite good.
