I’ve been a longtime admirer of Condoleezza Rice, because I like her articulateness and style – her toughness and rigor.
President Bush, Secretary of State Rice, and several cabinet level officials have visited Alabama’s Gulf Coast in recent days to tour the devastation and to offer their continuing support and prayers for everyone affected by the storm.
I need to give a special mention to Declan Rice, I think he’s going to go to the top.
I remember once I had lunch with George W Bush, his father, and Condoleezza Rice. Then I went home to find my dog and my neighbour’s dog fighting over a dead rabbit, and I had to separate them. I like that my home life keeps things real.
Following Rice, I went to Caltech for a Ph.D in physics, without any strong idea of what I wanted to do for a thesis topic.
I definitely gravitate towards things like vegetables, chicken, brown rice, but I don’t deprive myself of anything. If I want a Sprinkles cupcake, I’m having a Sprinkles cupcake. But I’m not going to have one every day… you just have to have a sensible outlook on all of it.
My homeland of Belarus is an unlikely place for an Internet revolution. The country, controlled by authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko since 1994, was once described by Condoleezza Rice as ‘the last outpost of tyranny in Europe.’
Me, sexy? I’m just plain ol’ beans and rice.
I like broccoli. I like rice. I like carrots. I like vegetable juices. Y’know? I mean, I’m with all that.
Rice is great if you’re really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something.
It was hard because every kid from high school wants a chance to make the jump to the minors to see what they can do. But in the end, it wasn’t difficult for me because I wanted to come to Rice. I could learn a lot more by coming here.
The combination of lentils with rice or bulgur is the absolute height of Levantine comfort food. I could eat it every day.
I try to stick to the natural peanut butter, and I have several jars in the cupboard. I’ll put it on oatmeal, rice cakes, chocolate… I just love it.
Asked at the hearing why she hadn’t pressed the FBI more closely about what it knew, or didn’t know, about domestic terrorist threats, Rice acted as though the question was an odd one: it wasn’t her job. Well, in retrospect, it was and now certainly is.

I love Indian food, and my favourite dish is dal rice.
My relationship with my sister is closer than white on rice.
Macaroni and cheese was my mother’s special dish. She’d also make jambalaya and dirty rice and bake a ham that would be incredible. And greens. But if you were looking for vegetables and healthy things, there weren’t a lot of those.
She’s been married so many times she has rice marks on her face.
For lunch I like corned beef, white rice and fried onions, which I’ve eaten for as long as I can remember. My father used to make it; now, no one does it like me.

I don’t have a strict diet; I keep it simple. I try to eat fish, meat, veg and carbs – potatoes and rice – but I’ll try and pack it in because as I’m burning so much energy. I have to see food as an energy source.
Physical hunger and physical poverty is something I could only imagine. I’ve been poor when I was in China… As kids we never had to starve, but just didn’t have enough meat, enough rice.
A chunk of seared albacore tuna, salted and peppered, then seared rare in a little oil in a hot skillet for just a minute or so per side, is the perfect addition to a savory plate of fried rice. Just slice the tuna across the grain and fan those mild, meaty slices over the top of the rice.
I am extremely close to my grandma. Growing up, she would always do my hair; she was always the one who would make me chocolate milk or rice when I came home.
I’m a professional non-fiction reader, that’s what I do. But in my 20s we had our own vampire and witch moment, courtesy of Anne Rice, whose books I read and loved.
I’ll cook a batch of brown rice or quinoa and keep it in the fridge, so when I get hungry, I can easily dress it up with olive oil, lemon, and salt and pepper, and then add veggies.
I grew up in Louisiana. We have red beans and rice, and there’s a Popeye’s on every corner.
I had a great start in television; the first thing I did was an episode of ‘Performance’ called ‘The Entertainer’ with Michael Gambon playing Archie Rice.
The cure for the Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice and Eric Garner tragedies is not education or exposure. It’s the gospel.
We sit and read the paper in conjunction with having a little breakfast. Usually fruit salad, or I make myself a smoothie with rice milk, coconut water and yogurt.
I was a huge fan of Damien Rice – and I am a huge fan still!
Constant deprivation is no way to live. Don’t always skip the delicious stuff for raw carrots and brown rice.
I am a Bengali, I like my rice.
My mum is your archetypal Asian mum, always feeding people. If there was no food in the cupboard, she’d still manage to rustle up a feast – Bangladeshi food such as pilau rice, curry and korma.
But the first dish I ever learned how to cook outside of like family things was a dish called chicken bianco, white wine and chicken, and it was served over rice, like peppers and onions or something. It was super simple, but I was very impressed with myself.
I love my cooking tools because I enjoy cooking – a Vitamix for smoothies and a rice cooker for steel-cut oats. I travel with a small rice cooker. I soak oats overnight, and when I get up, I just turn the rice cooker on, and it cooks the oats perfectly every time.
There is no intrinsic reason African countries should be importing, rather than exporting, basic staples like rice or higher value products like frozen chicken, cooking oil, or instant noodles.
The ‘hood don’t really wanna hear it, but you need brown rice, you need wheat bread, stuff like that.
I love to cook comfort food. I’ll make fish and vegetables or meat and vegetables and potatoes or rice. The ritual of it is fun for me, and the creativity of it.
There’s never really been a time when vampires weren’t so over that you would be crazy to write a vampire book, or so huge that you would be crazy to write a vampire book. I’m not sure there’s ever going to be a time. We went from Anne Rice to Buffy to ‘Twilight.’
I wasn’t dreaming of freedom when I escaped from North Korea… I was willing to risk my life for the promise of a bowl of rice.
But as I said to Dr. Rice following her testimony, and I think she appreciated it, we had our job to do and we did it best we could, trying to get answers to the important questions that the 9/11 Commission must answer.
I always felt like an outsider growing up. In school, I felt like I never fit in. But it didn’t help when my mother, instead of buying me glue for school projects, would tell me to just use rice.
I’m really Americanized. The only real Latina thing I do is cook rice and beans with chuletas and tostones. I do the healthier version of what my grandmother would have made: a lot less salt, a lot less fat, a lot more vegetables. Sometimes I serve it with brown rice, which is, like, sacrilegious.
My most memorable meal is every Thanksgiving. I love the food: the turkey and stuffing; the sweet potatoes and rice, which come from my mother’s Southern heritage; the mashed potatoes, which come from my wife’s Midwestern roots; the Campbell’s green-bean casserole; and of course, pumpkin pie.
Mexican food is far more varied than people think. It changes like dialects. I was brought up in Jalisco by the sea on a basic diet – tomatoes, chillis, peppers of every size and rice, which is a Mexican staple. The Pacific coast has a huge array of seafood.
I can make chicken curry, rice, kheema… I am a foodie and enjoy varied cuisines. My favourites are Korean and Japanese.
I have my meals delivered… you know what I like? Chicken and rice… But the problem with being a defensive lineman is, if we get out of hand with our eating, we balloon up to, like, 300-some pounds. So I really got to watch what I eat.
The average billboard has no more than eight words. It takes a lot of effort to make a beer, rice, or shampoo seem special in eight words.
There are a lot of food choices in Kyochon, but I personally recommend the double fried chicken and the Soonsal series – deep-fried, boneless chicken breast strips coated in a special rice batter.
On Christmas Eve, we have a duck or roast pork with caramelised potatoes, braised red cabbage and gravy. For dessert, we have ris a l’amande, a rice pudding, and whoever gets the whole almond in it wins an extra present. Then we dance around the tree and sing carols.
The first thing I do whenever I go to Thailand is seek out the closest restaurant or stall selling mango-and-sticky rice: it’s a little hillock of glutinous rice drenched in lashings of coconut milk and served with fresh mango.
