Oh no.... Thank you Kitty for keeping us updated. May Lenny recover soon.

Recipe is in my blog. Link is below: https://www.gayauthors.org/forums/blog/464/entry-15629-spanishindian-rice/

Okay, it's made with Indian rice and Indian spice (to save time), but it still tastes good. If you want to know how it is made, here is the recipe. Ingredient: rice (I used Indian rice, but most long grain rice would do) - 2 cups chicken broth - 16 oz. sweet onion - half of a large one, diced button mushrooms - 5 pieces, sliced tandoori masala powder - 1 tablespoon scallion (or green onion) - one piece shrimps - 5 large ones, cubed mini Roma tomatoes - about 10, quartered butter - 2 tablespoons white wine - 2 tablespoons salt - 1 teaspoon or to taste cayenne pepper - (optional) 1/4 teaspoon or to taste Procedure: Use a large 12-inch sauté pan (preferably the stainless steel, not the non-stick kind) on stove, turn heat to high and melt the butter Put in tandoori masala powder and onion, cook until about to turn brown, then turn heat to medium. About five minutes Put in tomatoes and mushroom, mix well with onion. About one minute Add chicken broth, rice, and scallion, mix well so flavor would be infused into the rice. Make sure the rice is even in height in pan to promote even cooking. About one minute Add salt and cayenne pepper if you want, then close the lid. Turn heat to low, and cook for 10 minutes. Stir every couple minutes so the rice doesn't stick to the bottom Add two tablespoons of white wine (I used Chardonnay and it adds a nice fruity note as it cooks) and shrimp. If the rice is beginning to stick to the pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil, and stir. Remember to keep the rice even in pan. Simmer for the rest of the 10 minutes on low, and stir regularly. Turn off the stove and take the pan away from heat. Let the lid remain closed for another two minutes to let the rice cook through without drying it up. It's very yummy as is, or used it to make burritos.

Thanks ASP. You're so nice! Hope you'll come visit our SFMOMA also once it's done its renovation.

thanks! You are being very observant about many things in the story. As an author, I feel very flattered. Thank you, drpaladin.

Happy birthday!

Daddy, you gotta make Drew more of a bottom! In any case, the story is fabulous.

Happy birthday!

There are also wind power and solar power. Yes, they're not as cheap as nuclear power, but they're getting there. They burn nothing so there is no emission issue. Most high schools here have solar cells roof over the parking lots, so school can generate self-sufficient power usage and perhaps sell extra power in Summer for money. 20% of SF's power is generated by Hetch Hetchy hydro plant, though the reservoir that keeps the hydro plant is a controversy in itself.

Happy Birthday Mann!!!!

Happy Birthday Lenny!

Guilty of masturbation? That's arguable. Then there is that journey from ignorance to enlightened....

Happy anniversary!

Thanks.

Happy Birthday.

Very nice story to be shared. Every LGBT person should know their gay history. This gives me an idea. How about we start a LGBT History thread where all these nicely written essays can be archived, so our young visitors can learn about our roots and appreciate what a long journey we have come.

LOL. Another Drew story.... Down, trooper boy... down!

Okay the nerd in me will try to theorize. Frontal lobe is in charge of critical thinking. Temporal lobe for hearing. Occipital for vision, and parietal... I don't quite remember, but probably some motor skill (but that one is spread out on the perimeter of the brain from frontal to occipital). Cerebellum the small brain, is in charge of balance, and spinal cord for reflex and the super highway of nerves to transfer sensual messages to the brain to process. So where does the bear fit in? (*points*) There.

Happy birthday!

I quite like Celethiel's stories, though they tend to be gloomy. There is just this air of hopelessness in them that draws you in, but then he would just butcher you..., with the same hopelessness. I hope the unicorn survives, but who knows....

Oh my.... Drew found this thread! EVERYBODY HIDE!!!! Houston, we have a problem.

Happy Fourth of July!

Hi Ace.... Nice story. It is soooo cute! So who are the two guys? I am so curious now.

Happy Canada Day to Canadians.

Well, it's good for hygienic reason!
