September fades as fall shows its colors. Today’s opener comes from “Regular Reader,” and it’s about yellow rice. “I used to be able to buy yellow rice without seasoning, but all I can find now is packaged yellow rice with peppers and other spices added. I would like to know a source or a recipe for yellow rice. I also have a small box of saffron threads that were given to us as a gift. I know they are expensive, and I would like to use them carefully. Recipes, please.”
