Wow. Even when my 3 daughters were here cooking rice at a rate I would have called “lots”, the 20 pound Mahatma jasmine bag would last us at least 4-5 months. There were some other rice types being used (valencia, sushi rice, EL basmati), but minor amounts in comparison.
Now I see why you picked your screen name. 
My favorite is long grain white rice eaten with something saucy or soupy (a curry, étouffée, etc.).
Then I like the dishes in which the rice is cooked with other items or cooked in stock broth and topped with items (Ottolenghi’s Cardamom Chicken, claypot rice dishes, arroz con pollo, various biryani, bhaat).
Followed by risotto type dishes.
And, finally, chocolate rice pudding.
For sure.
I feel like rice pudding is so underrated in the constellation of desserts.
I’ll give rice pudding a bump. Now I’m craving it

Rice pudding and other rice desserts
It’s now going to be in your feed …
Mum used to make rice pudding regularly. Classic oven cooked so a crispy skin formed. There are those who like crispy skin on rice pudding and those who don’t. I do. Always served hot with raspberry jam to stir through. One of our favourite bistros also serves it hot with a compote of whatever fruit is in season.
Of late, we’ve spurned tradition and turned to Nigel Slater’s version, cooked on the hob and served cold.
Chicken soup with rice. Though I really love other rice dishes, this one has such strong associations with nurturing and wellness associated with it that nothing else can take top spot, no matter how delicious.
I always favor chicken and rice over chicken noodle soup (if we are talking more western style with pasta— I love Asian noodles).
I had a lovely Mexican chicken rice soup last weekend.
We make our avgolemono soup with orzo, but rice is good, too, and preferred by many people.
I try to remember to keep the little servings of Kozy Shack in the fridge for upset tummy days.
It’s funny, but rice pudding is probably the last way I came to appreciate rice. The thought of sweet applications just seemed foreign to me - even the Asian ways of preparing rice with sweetness aren’t very sweet (at least the ones I’d tried). The first time I had rice pudding, the mouthfeel was off-putting (ha!): it felt like somebody had already partially eaten it. It probably took me half a dozen times before I started to like it.
What’s your French butter?
I’m sad that TJ no longer sells the lightly salted cultured butter from Brittany but now Costco stocks both salted and unsalted grass fed New Zealand butter that I like a lot.
Favorite rice. This week, or over time? 
This week:
Oyakodon. Chicken and Egg bowl.
Mentaiko, cured Roe on rice. Japanese Moi Choi (pickled veg) Umami on rice.
Rice mixed with raw Egg. A special treat as a child. Never had it so good.
Dang, ate a lot of rice this week!!
I don’t care much for rice (which is why I’ve stayed out of this), but your pics make me reconsider…
Onigiri
And although not rice in its original form, anything with dduk (rice cakes)

I’ll spice things up by sharing two controversial ways I cook rice - how many of us do this?
Rice pudding is pure comfort for me and I play around with it a lot. I’ve made it in so many different ways and couldn’t pick a favorite. I might make a batch of Turkish baked rice pudding again thanks to this.
“Sic Fon May-a??”
You ain’t et if you haven’t filled up on rice yet. 
Freshly Steamed Rice. A virgin white canvas base to build any (most) Chinese meal. Delicious with the cheap-o Cantonese brown corn starch gravy lunch specials. SpareRib w/Bitter Melon.
Biriyani. Mutton please.
BBQ Eel on Rice.
Of course, SF Mission Burritos. No pics, always suck them down before photos come to mind.
Sushi. Rice is actually the most important component.
