It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rare to have a friend like Russell.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I met him right after moving to Columbia 20 years ago and watched him do a fine job of raising his children while he runs a successful business and is active in community and church life.\u00c2\u00a0 We have been true blue friends ever since.\u00c2\u00a0 Russell invited me over one evening not long ago to have a dinner and game night with friends.\u00c2\u00a0 I always knew he was a magnificent cook so it was no surprise when this brown rice dish was a hit.\u00c2\u00a0 No gravy is needed for this as it is seasoned to perfection…just like my friendship with Russell.<\/span><\/p>\n
