 Vegetables and Rice
 -------------------
 Time estimate:  15 minutes to chop, 45 minutes to cook
 
 Ingredients:
 bunch of broccoli
 1 carrot
 3 or so scallions, to make about 1/2 cup when chopped
 some mushrooms, to make about 1/2 cup when chopped
 1 clove of garlic
 parseley to taste, I use about 2 Tbsp
 3/4 cup of brown rice
 1 1/2 cup water
 2 buillion cubes (the amount of buillion cubes that would go with 2 cups water)
 .  
 
 Chop:
 	broccoli, keeping stem separate from broccoli flowers
 	(peeled or scraped) carrot
 	scallions
 	mushrooms
 	garlic (I run this through a garlic press)
 
 Heat in big saucepan about 1/4 of an inch of water on high heat.  Add:
 	scallions
 	garlic
 	broccoli stems (NOT flowers)
 	carrot
 Cover and let steam for about 5 minutes.
 Add to saucepan:
 	mushrooms
 	brown rice
 	1 1/2 cups water
 	parseley
 	buillion cubes
 Stir once, keep covered on high heat until it comes to a very big boil.  Stir
 again, then cover and turn down heat to very low.
 Cook on very low (don't remove cover--I use glass cover to saucepan so I
 can see in there) until the water has been mostly absorbed, about 35 minutes.
 At this point, the rice should have about 5 minutes to go (taste it to see).  
 Put in the broccoli flower on the top so that they get steamed for about 
 5 minutes or less. 
 
 Before serving, stir up to mix broccoli flower with the rest and serve.
