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.
Opossums are up to 3 feet in length (including the tail) at maturity. They are 6-20 lbs. in weight, depending on availability of food, and have a light grey to white face. Their bodies can be cream to tan, tan to dark brown, or grey to black from neck to rump.
