The thread about the leftover rice promps this:

Glorified Rice

Recipe By: Posted by Barb Schaller to rec.food.cooking, 10-6-2010.

Summary:
From my big old Pillsbury cookbook at the request of a friend - I
brought it a potluck.

1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups cooked rice
2/3 cup drained crushed pineapple
1 banana, sliced and quartered
maraschino cherries

Beat cream in small bowl until stiff; blend in sugar and vanilla
extract. Combine rice, pineapple and banana. Fold in whipped cream.
Spoon into serving dishes; garnish with cherries. Chill.

Tip: One cup miniature marshmallows may be substituted for bananas.
(I'm thinking the bananas would darken. Not pretty.)
Tip: For fluffy grains of rice, drain rice in colander or sieve and
rinse with hot water.

Some would call it dessert; I'm not sure I would.

Why wouldn't it be dessert? It is a 'glorified' version of rice pudding,
isn't it? Sweetened rice with sweetened pineapple, banana or
marshmallows and maraschino cherries. Not my idea of a main course,
although TMU would probably enjoy it as such LOL.

What would you call it? Dessert looks right to me, or maybe baby food. lol
Seriously, though, it looks pretty good. I'm not sure I'd sub marshmallows
for bananas. Maybe if the bananas were mixed with the pineapple and a
little lemon juice before mixing with the rice? When you brought it to the
potluck, did you use bananas or the mini marshmallows?

My guess is that I used the marshmallows ‹ it is more likely that I
would have those in house moreso than bananas. Dessert or salad; I've
seen it served as either.

Not baby food; too much texture.

Glorified rice just isn't my idea of a swell dessert. <shrug>
My recollection of it is that it's not all that sweet--where's the fun in
that?

Drain pineapple - reserve syrup. Combine rice, water, syrup and salt in saucepan. Mix just to moisten rice. Bring to boil. Cover and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes. Add marshmallows, pineapples, sugar and lemon juice. Cool. Fold in Cool Whip. Chill.

Hey no one said anything about 'swell' desserts LOL. That's not a word
normally used by me other than in the medical sense or the oceanographic
sense :P

Surely the sweetness can be regulated? TMU would undoubtedly sprinkle
more sugar on top to suit her sweet tooth
