  1. Knowing you are lucky enough to live near a Trader Joe's, this is probably a silly question but ... where do you get your wild rice that isn't prepackaged? All I can find is Uncle Ben's or an UB's wanna be. No wild rice just in a bag by itself.

    I used to make something very similar to this forever ago, thanks for the kick in the pants to try it again. Even if I have to buy boxes of UB and toss the seasoning packets.

    Cheers, Kiy

  2. Ummmm, I wish I had an answer for this one - I actually think it may have come from Whole Foods because it is in a bulk bag with no label or anything. I bought a gob of it at one time and am still using it up.

  3. I need to move where they have a Whole Foods! :)

    Thanks, may have to just buy the UB boxes and toss the seasoning packets. I love anything with wild rice1
