Black Rice

Have you heard of black rice? I recently read a good article about it, and other kinds of rice, in Fine Cooking Magazine. Betsy gives me her old copies of that magazine and I really enjoy it. I didn't think I'd ever find black rice and then I went to Costco and saw this:

So I bought it.

I looked up recipes on Epicurious and then I made up my own salad.

It has a little more protein than brown rice. It also has a distinctive taste. I thought it was good and I'm glad I'm not regretting buying a Costco-sized bag.

I added mango, feta, and a few other things I had on hand.
