This good idea was very bad.
Although it was indeed a delightful surprise when P took the lid off the St. Patty's day rice cooker and found green coconut rice a-steaming, it was not a delightful dish to eat. We could not get over the toothpaste hue, and when blended with our mango chicken, bad textures and bad colors collided. It was so disconcerting of a dish that P asked for leftovers of the previous night's polenta pie. And if you know P, you know that polenta, quinoa, bulgar, and cous cous all fall into the same category for him: not foods. Added to that list? Green rice.
All part of a cook's discovery process! I have thrown many a meal down the sink or into the trash when it turned out to be a bad idea. My worst ever: curried quiche. Ugh, I vomit at the memory.
