Hmm. I never have more than 'fridged rice. I suppose this is good to know. Maybe you should turn the rice into rice pudding.

Did a baked stuffed eggplant (called Mahshy) -- rice, tomatoes, onions, a little parsley, chicken broth, seasoned with salt and pepper, stuffed into dug-out eggplant with the dug-out bit diced and in the stuffing. The recipe needs some work IMHO, but seasoning experiments should yield good results. You can substitute salsa, cruda or cooked, for at least some of the tomatoes. Need to look into herb blends, though. It's the kind of thing you like if you like ratatouille, with many of the same ingredients. It's NOT Fainting Imam, but it's somewhere in the same family.

And since it was left over from the other day when we made it, and it had rice that didn't quite do, I'm commenting on it over here. What we learned the hard way was either bake it covered, or use cooked rice.
