Did you mean to serve the zucchini with “basmati” rice? If not, how
do you make “balsamic” rice? I love your goat cheese and am hoping
that you weathered the hurricane without too much damage. My heart
goes out to those who have suffered.

Our apologies it is supposed to be Basmati rice. Although balsamic rice might be tasty as well. Thanks for the catch.
