I've always loved to bake. I'm a perfectionist about it too. My mom said when I was a teen I would bake and bake and if it didn't come out perfect I would throw it right into the garbage. I never really learned how to cook. I was just into making cakes and cookies. Well, when I was a new bride I found whatever was the easiest to cook. Pasta Roni. Haha. So one day I would get Angel Hair pasta and maybe put some canned corn on the side. The next day make a Pasta Roni Alfredo and have green beens on the side. Or we ate out. It took me a looong time (years) to really start learning how to properly cook. I kept asking people how to make good Spanish rice and everyone's answer was different. I didn't like some people's version of it. Unless of course I was at a restaurant. I LOVED theirs.
So this time I said I would just guess how to make it. Put all the ingredients together in a Rice Cooker and wha-la!!! It was some GOOD tasting Spanish rice! I was proud and my family scarfed it down and begged for more the next day.
Too bad I didn't write it down.
I know I had added some of my homemade salsa I taught myself a year ago. That was by guess too. Lucky one. I was in my kitchen was day and just started adding what I thought went into salsa and now I can't ever eat the store bought stuff it was so delicious. I can't believe how bland store bought salsa is.
Hopefully tomorrow I can accidentally make some good tamales. That will be a strrrrrretch though. Haha!

Well done on making such a lovely rice dish. I too just throw whatever into the pot and it usually comes out lovely too!
