"Believe what the woman says. This recipe will change your life!! Not only me, but my matie too craves this dish. Before making this recipe (followed to the letter) I only THOUGHT I had already made the best rice. Daisy taught me that I hadn't known how to make it at all--until now. I even mail ordered those special little ajices dulces, used what was needed and froze the rest for later use. Worth every penny. Worth all the effort too, so if you don't want to know you'll be making this for the rest of your life, then don't ever make it the first time. Thanks, Daisy. You improved the quality of life in our household.
