It's really cold here too. Hubby has been running the woostove every day
for a while, just to save on some oil.

The rice blend I used from TJ's was not white rice, but a blend of various
brown rices and some kind of black barley too. I only used a tiny bit and
mixed it right into the mix of the stuffing. Hubby prefers white rice, but
he is going to eat better if I have to muscle him into it!!!! Frankly this
rice blend was awesome.
