Brown rice: Hmmm... I am always reluctant to make anything with brown rice because it takes such a long time to cook. However this time I saw a bag of Brown Organic Basmati Rice at Costco, and thought let me try it again and see if they are any easier to cook. I did soak them before going to work and came back after 8 hours to cook them. Needless to say it still took triple the amount of time...
