Feelings change. You can’t promise to have a feeling. So if love is a feeling, the marriage vow makes no sense at all. But the vow does make sense because love is not a feeling. What is it, then? Love is a commitment of the will to the true good of another person. Of course, people who love each other usually do have strong feelings too, but you can have those feelings without having love. Love, let me repeat, is a commitment of the will to the true good of another person.

INGREDIENTS

2	tb	Olive Oil Or Butter
1	c	Sliced Mushrooms
2	tb	Fresh Oregano; minced
1	c	Brown Rice
4	c	Water
1/2	ts	Salt; optional

INSTRUCTIONS

Saute mushrooms and fresh oregano in olive oil or butter in nonstick pan
for 1 minute. Remove from pan; reserve. Saute rice in same pan, stirring
constantly, until rice is well coated, about 2 minutes. Combine rice with
water and salt in steaming pan; cover and steam until rice is done, 40 to
45 minutes. Toss reserved mushrooms with hot rice. Serve immediately.
Variations: * Any fresh herb such as basil, thyme, cilantro or a
combination can be used.
* For a nuttier texture, uncooked rice can also be toasted in a preheated
350 degree oven. Spread rice on a cookie sheet and toast, stirring
occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes until golden. Steam rice in the usual way.
* Vary ingredients as you would in any rice.
NOTES : Brown rice is high in nutrients. Sauteing it in olive oil or butter
before steaming intensifies its nutty flavor.
