Q: Once you've allowed the rice mixture to boil for a couple of minutes, turn the heat to low and place a lid on the pot. Allow the mixture to cook until all of the liquid is absorbed, which typically takes between 15 and 20 minutes. If you don't have a lid for your pot, you can place a baking sheet across the top or fold a piece of foil over it. When the rice and bean mixture has cooked long enough that the liquid has been absorbed, use a fork to fluff the rice. Next, remove the pot from the heat, place the lid back on top, and let it sit for 5 minutes. Taste the dish, and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Transfer the rice and bean mixture to a bowl, and serve alongside your favorite main course.
A: Lower the heat, and wait for the liquid to be absorbed. Fluff with the mixture with a fork and let stand. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Q: Children's tea parties often revolve around a theme, such as Alice in Wonderland, princesses, or Victorian dress-up. Your child will have more fun at the party if they feel like they're suitably dressed. The invitation should have invitation about the theme if there is one, but if you're not sure, call the host and ask. Once you know the theme, start scouting for fun dress-up pieces that will make the perfect tea party outfit. Pastels or neutral tones will fit in nicely at most tea parties. Check consignment stores and thrift shops for perfect items that won't empty your wallet. Tea parties are the perfect occasion for little girls to wear a frilly dress if they enjoy dressing up. Another outfit option is a collared shirt with a pair of trousers or nice shorts and dress shoes for boys as well as girls who don't like to wear dresses. The shoes should match the formality of the outfit. Dressy sandals are a nice choice for sundresses, while closed-toe shoes are more appropriate for dressier occasions. If your child is wearing a frilly ball gown to a princess-themed party, she could wear a pair of patent-leather shoes with a buckle and stockings to complete her look. Children's Oxford dress shoes are a classic choice to pair with short or pants. Once you have your child's outfit picked out, visit a party supply store to find fun accessories. A children's tea party is a great time to be extravagant, especially if there's a costume theme, so look for tiaras, capes, feather boas, and long strands of beads. Think about what will make your child feel really special at the party. For boys, consider accessorizing with a bow tie or a fedora. Tea parties are a special occasion, so consider giving your child a special hair style. Short hair can be combed back or to the side and held in place with pomade or gel, and long hair can be styled into ringlets, braids, or an up-do. A fishtail crown braid is an elegant style for long hair that is perfect for a princess tea party. Use hair gel to create a side part, pompadour, or a slicked-back look on short hair. To get ringlets without heat styling, add a little curling gel to your child's damp hair. Twist sections of the hair away from your child's face and use bobby pins to pin the coil close to the scalp. Allow the curls to set for at least an hour before unwinding the twists. Add a little more gel to the ends to help the curls hold.
A: Check the invitation or ask the host about a theme for the party. Gather fun costume pieces. Choose dressy sandals or closed-toe dress shoes. Add costume jewelry if you want. Style your child's hair in a special way.
