Oh, you must go, even though it's billed as Middle Eastern and Indian imports, it's really international, and has lots of Mediterranean-oriented stuff.Mercedeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00097330009175643958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-28918037967156140092007-10-30T15:42:00.000-05:002007-10-30T15:42:00.000-05:00The color is so saturated - just stunning.

I'm happy to share whatever meager knowledge I've amassed in my times in the Middle East, and look forward to reading more about your projects.<BR/><BR/>Colored Light- I thought that pudding was made with Thai sticky purple rice, not this Chinese rice?? I ask because I actually have purple sticky rice in my cabinet (one of the unopened bags!) and I know sticky rice behaves very differently from other rice. Either way, the dish you describe sounds delicious!Mercedeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00097330009175643958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-52042967937856364352007-10-29T02:22:00.000-05:002007-10-29T02:22:00.000-05:00oooh that looks gorgeous! i love this rice! its us...oooh that looks gorgeous! i love this rice! its used to make a dessert in southeast asia called bubur hitam (black porridge). with coconut cream, pandan leaves and palm sugar. mmm.coloured lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14476377392441124748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-19860894489001483582007-10-28T19:11:00.000-05:002007-10-28T19:11:00.000-05:00this is one my favorite rice varieties to make des...this is one my favorite rice varieties to make desserts with! the color, the deep flavor, its inherent sweetness.
