That looks very yummy! I've never used turmeric in my rice, or even that much butter, but I want to try it now. The absence of turmeric is probably why my rices lacks that Asian flavor! :-)<br />And adding blackberries to lemonade - what a delightful treat! I'll try that too!Nikkis Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04900207220789667368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114557797964536377.post-6846244659844342002014-07-29T08:19:04.971-07:002014-07-29T08:19:04.971-07:00True, sugar intake can be a bad situation for teet...True, sugar intake can be a bad situation for teeth.

Flossing certainly does help. I also think it helps to eat fewer things that leave a sugary residue in the mouth. Of course, that includes candy and other sweets, but may also include fruit and other starchy foods that convert to sugar very easily.

One thing that is helping me a lot with my teeth issues and getting my teeth into better shape is simply flossing and brushing several times a day. My dentist even told me I have become more diligent about it than he has. Whereas I will not be eating hard foods like peanuts because I just do not want to go there, I have cut down on the amount of pain in my teeth tremendously. Also, many of us learned how to brush a certain way as kids, and I have since learned I was doing it way to aggressively. My new interest is dental blogs and taking the advice of my dentist, I have since improved my technique.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147781152448695481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114557797964536377.post-36787476831438262522014-07-28T13:02:50.720-07:002014-07-28T13:02:50.720-07:00Yes, Julia, to some extent it is nostalgia for Tai...Yes, Julia, to some extent it is nostalgia for Taiwan. But the dish is my own invention, and it is not strictly speaking either Taiwanese or Chinese cuisine as there are Japanese elements mixed in. <br /><br />Many of my friends seem to be having dental issues these days. The rice is very soft and so is the zucchini, once cooked. If you cut the meat into very small pieces before frying, it should not be a problem at all.

I ate some rice recently, and I have had a bit of a dental situation with a recent root canal. I think if the dish is soft and the rice is cooked well it is not too bad.

Thanks for giving me the idea for putting the blackberries in our lemonade.
