Garlic Butter Rice is so delicious! It’s very simple to make, ready in under 30 minutes, and is the perfect garlicky, buttery, side dish to any meal! BUTTER RICE WITH A PUNCH OF GARLIC FLAVOR Calling all my rice and garlic lovers! This easy Garlic Butter Rice side dish was made for you! It’s so simple to make, is exploding with flavor, and goes with soooo many main dishes. I can’t get over how versatile it is and the fact that you only need a handful of ingredients to whip it up makes it that much better. It’s a great side dish, but honestly, I love it so much, I have just eaten it all by itself! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:  How can I make this a little less garlicky? If you want a less punch of garlic, only use 2 cloves of garlic. Why is my Garlic Butter Rice still wet looking? When it is done cooking, it may appear a little loose, but once you take off the cover and stir it, the excess liquid will disappear quickly. It most likely just needs a little more time to soak it up. Could I add meat to this rice? Absolutely! Got some rotisserie chicken or maybe some leftover grilled chicken? That would be perfect to add to this rice! Where do I find the Better than Bouillon Chicken Base? If you’ve never used it before, be sure to check out my ingredient photo below so you know what to look for. You will usually find it where the cubed bouillon is located in your grocery store. It will generally be in the same region where the chicken broth is located. What’s the best way to reheat leftovers? Reheat in the skillet until warm or in the microwave. If the rice is drying out, add a splash of chicken broth. How to store leftover rice? Keep in the fridge for up to 4 days, freeze for up to 3 months. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) unsalted butter – you could use salted butter but keep in mind the bullion base already has salt in it so you don’t want this to get too salty. long-grain white rice– do not use instant rice. I have not tested this at all with instant rice, so if you want to try, please understand that this recipe was not designed for instant rice and you’ll have to play it by ear to make your own adjustments to make it work – I cannot tell you how to do that as I have not tested it. water– could be swapped out for chicken broth or vegetable broth. I would use no sodium though so it does not add anymore saltiness. chicken better than bouillon base– You can use any flavor of bouillon base to switch up the flavor. This base also adds creaminess. You could use a bouillon cube but I don’t think you get quite the same flavor as this bouillon creamy base. garlic cloves – I prefer fresh garlic as you get the absolutely best garlic flavor especially since it is the star of this recipe. You could use the jar stuff but I don’t think you’d be getting the best version of this recipe with the jarred garlic. HOW TO MAKE GARLIC BUTTER RICE In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the rice and stir until it toasts and browns slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the water, and better than bouillon, stir until the bouillon has dissolved. Add the garlic stir it in. Cover and bring to a boil. Turn to low heat and cook for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender. Give it a stir and serve immediately.

Goldie Hawn is a proud grandmother of seven, with her fifth being 8-year-old Rio, who Goldie loves to show off on social media. Hawn’s son Oliver shares Rio with his wife, Erinn Bartlett, and they also have two older children, Wilder Brooks and Bodhi Hawn. Goldie enjoys being a grandmother, after having three children of her own and a stepson from her longtime lover, Kurt Rusell. She is doting Nana to all, but she appears to share a lot in common with Rio, who loves posing for the camera and playing dress up. Goldie’s lookalike granddaughter, Rio Instagram Rio is the most famous of Goldie’s granddaughters and has won the hearts of fans thanks to her uncanny resemblance with the film star. On several occasions, social media users have taken to Oliver’s comments to point out that Rio is Goldie’s “mini me.” “She’s so adorable, I can see her aunty Kate and grandmother Goldie in her looks,” someone once said. RELATED: Kate Hudson Shares Photos Of Goldie Hawn With Her Kids For Mother’s Day Although her parents prefer to keep her off the spotlight, Rio was a natural on Oliver’s Unconsciously Coupled podcast, where she charmed listeners with her wits. Oliver announced her appearance on Instagram, and his followers were again astonished by the similar features Rio shares with Goldie, including her composure on the show. Instagram Life as a grandmom Goldie has several achievements to her name, including an Oscar and a Goldie Globe for Best Supporting Actress in 1970’s Cactus Flower. Despite her career success, Goldie is most proud of her kids and grandchildren. She calls her “good family” the key to her happiness and takes any chance to commend her partner, Russell, for his immense support. Instagram Goldie has always had her heart out for kids, so much so that she took a long hiatus from acting after the infamous 9/11 incident. She was moved to save children from distress and immediately established the MindUP program via The Goldie Hawn Foundation to help affected youngsters manage anxiety and PTSD. She reappeared on screens a few times for 2017’s Snatched and Netflix’s Christmas Chronicles series with Rusell, but she seems to prefer life away from set so far.

Thirty-four years is a long time for a telescope. Yet, that is how long the veteran workhorse of NASA’s space telescope fleet has been operating. Admittedly, Hubble was served by several repair missions during the space shuttle era. Still, the system has been floating in the void and taking some of humanity’s most breathtaking pictures ever captured since April 24th, 1990. But now, time seems to be finally catching up with it, as NASA plans to limit some of its operations to ensure its continued life, starting with gyroscopes.  Hubble has six gyroscopes, which are intended to help it orient in the right direction and ensure it stays oriented in that direction while it takes the extremely long-exposure, detailed images it is famous for. The six gyroscopes currently installed replaced six older ones during the final shuttle servicing mission in 2009. As one of the few moving components on Hubble, lasting 15 years without maintenance is pretty impressive. That being said, not all of them lasted that long – only three are operational at this point, with the other three having failed at some point over the last 15 years. And on May 24th, the telescope was sent into safe mode by another failed gyro. This isn’t the first time that particular problem has happened either. Previous errors caused by the same gyro have caused Hubble to go into safe mode multiple times over the past few months. While engineers can reset it, the same problem repeatedly happening means it will probably continue. Scott Manley explains how the gyros work on Hubble, and how the engineers plan to keep them working.Credit – Scott Manley YouTube Channel The problem is that the gyro is “saturating,” meaning that the sensor that shows its speed is maxing out even when the gyro itself isn’t moving near that speed. Since the spacecraft slewing at maximum speed could cause potential issues, the safe thing to do when reading a maximum speed on a gyro is to go into “safe mode” and ensure the spacecraft doesn’t wildly swing in one direction. Operating in that mode makes sense, especially if the sensor readings are correct, but they make it almost impossible to move accurately if sensor readings aren’t correct. Given the previous efforts by Hubble’s engineering team to fix the problem, it appears at least one of the three remaining gyros is effectively inoperable from now on. So, the team now has a choice. They could continue to operate with two gyros, or they could only use one and alternate which one they are using to not cause undue wear and tear on whichever one is selected for service first. According to a press release from the agency, operating with two gyros is effectively the same as operating with one, whereas operating with three had significant advantages in terms of speed and accuracy. So, the engineering team has decided that Hubble will operate in one gyro mode from now on. Fraser discusses some of Hubble’s most iconic images – it’s set of Deep Fields. This isn’t the first time it’s done so—Hubble effectively operated in one-gryo mode for a short time back in 2008 when the previous set of gyros was failing. It also operated in two-gyro mode from 2005 to 2009, when all the original gyros were replaced. So it is certainly possible, but what impact will it have? It will take longer to lock on to targets, which is hardly surprising given the telescope’s age, but detrimental if it was hoping to catch transient events such as a supernova. It also won’t be able to track any moving objects that are closer than Mars, such as the occasional comet or asteroid. Typically, those types of objects weren’t the focal point of Hubble’s observations anyway. While Hubble will indeed have to slow down, its support team believes it can continue operations through at least the rest of this decade in this new mode. Luckily, it is no longer alone in its role as the workhorse space telescope. The James Webb Space Telescope has far surpassed its observational capabilities; the Nancy Grace Roman Telescope, due to launch in 2027, will contribute additional functionality to make up for Hubble’s slowing pace. Hubble itself will always have a place in astronomy nerds’ hearts. Its Deep Field image is my favorite picture and sparked my love for astronomy as a kid. And I’m not alone – NASA recently rejected billionaire Jared Isaacman’s plan to service the aging telescope as part of a series of Dragon capsule missions. But even without additional help from the ground, Hubble hopefully still has a long, fruitful life ahead of it when it continues its science operations in mid-June.
