When you make Rice-a_Roni...

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

do you subconsciously sing....

"Rice a roni... the San Francisco treat"
"Rice a roni, the taste that can't be beat"
Sauteed and simmered
it's the San Francisco treat.

I am afraid I do.

But I love me some Rice-a-Roni.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

1. I will NEVER be free from the UNHOLY bond that Rice-A-Roni...

...hold on me.

It's the San Francisco treat, and it's sunk its hooks DEEP into me.

May GOD have MERCY upon me.

:evilgrin:

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

2. No, God smiles upon you and sends His grace

upon all those who consume the Holy Rice-a_Roni.

[ronnykmarshall]

3. Well duh?

It was a requirement for us San Franciscans. That and the sour dough bread soup bowls.

There is a test you have to take in SF and two are the requirements are to learn to sing:

1. The Rice-a-Roni Song

&

2. I Left My Heart In San Francisco


I got for extra points and sang the old "San Francisco" song by Judy Garland.

But that's only a requirement for the gays.

[Floogeldy]

4. I usually sing "Itsy Bitsy Spider"

But that's just me.

:)

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

5. Rice a Roni isn't really rice. But whatever it is, it is damned good.

Buttery soft noodly substance.

[stlsaxman]

15. It's pilaf.

chicken or beef sauteed rice and pasta. Sauteed then steamed to perfection! yummmmm!

[Kali]

6. oh yeah

:D

[bertha katzenengel]

7. Yes!

Isn't there relief in finding you're not alone?

I love that stuff too. (Now I need to find some w/out meat products, though.)

[Kali]

8. Its just white rice and vermicelli

buy rice and extra thin spaghetti - saute in olive oil and flavor with (fresh or died) parsley, garlic, onion, and veggie bullion if you can't take any meat at all. Or even make your own veg stock and use for the water.

[bertha katzenengel]

11. Great idea. Thanks.

Thanks for my first "why didn't I think of that?" moment of the day. ;)

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

13. How many of those do you allow yourself

a day?
On average?

I think my usual is about 10.

[yellowdogintexas]

9. thanks for the earworm. Now I am hungry for Rice A Roni

I Left My Heart In San Francisco
Words & Music by Douglas Cross & George Cory
Recorded by Tony Bennett, 1954


Bm7 AM7 D D9 AM7
The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay;

Bm7 F#m Bm7-5 Cdim E7
The glory that was Rome is of an - oth - er day;

Fdim Bm7-5 AM7 F#m7
I've been terribly alone and for - got -ten in Man - hat - ten;

D Bm7 Bm7-5 Cdim E7
I'm going home to my city by the bay.


A Fdim Cdim AM7 Cdim AM7 F#m Bm Bm+7
I left my heart in San Francisco;

E Bm7-5 E7 Cdim AM7 Fdim AM7
High on a hill, it calls to me

E7 Bm7-5 AM7 Bm7-5 AM7 Cdim AM7
To be where little cable cars

F#m C#m G#7
Climb halfway to the stars;

A B7 E7
The morning fog may chill the air,

Fdim E7
I don't care.



A Fdim Cdim AM7 Cdim AM7 F#m Bm Bm+7
My love waits there, in San Francisco,

Bm7 D9 E7 Bm7-5 E7 Bm7-5 F#7 Gdim F#7
A - bove the blue and windy sea;

F7 F#7 Bm7 Fdim A AM7 F#m
When I come home to you, San Francisco,

F#m/E D D9 E6 E7/6 A Cdim Fdim AM7
Your golden sun will shine on me.
