Note from Susan on the Growlies Message Board who used this recipe:
We made this for 50 people this weekend and it was fabulous. It was easy and
 held very well in the chafing dish. We placed pats of butter all over the top
 before we transported to the party to be sure that the rice stayed moist. 
When I first made this recipe to try out, I used the fast cooking minute rice
 which was a mistake, and came out a little dry. This time, I followed the 
recipe exactly, using the long grain rice which cooks for 20 minutes and 
it was delicious. Thanks Dayle.
