daily bliss: rice for breakfast

When I was little, sometimes Mom would fix rice for breakfast. Some days I would top it with butter, salt, and pepper, for a savory start, but mostly I'd use brown sugar and butter because I like a sweet note first thing in the morning. Last night I made a big pot of brown basmati rice, and this morning I substituted rice for my usual oats. With a little cinnamon, brown sugar, pecans, and dried cherries, it made a delicious and hearty beginning on this cold morning, too cold to run. Will Spring every come?
