Bring 2 1/4 cups water to a boil and add the rice and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Return to a boil, cover, and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed. Transfer the rice to a bowl.
Opossums stop the spread of Lyme disease because they kill up to 4,000 ticks a week. Claims about possums and ticks are mostly true â but the amount of ticks one possum kills in a week has been skewed.
Besides eating unpleasant food like dead animals, opossums will eat over-ripe fruit, berries, vegetables, grasses, and leaves. They are also known to eat snakes, frogs, birds, ground eggs, snail, slugs, moles, and garbage. Opossums can produce 1-2 litters a year. The gestation is short (about 12-14 days).
