Yes, I did! I made something new. Just last night we had Tacos (Fish Tacos actually) and I wanted something new to serve with dinner. I found this Mexican Sour Cream Rice dish and it was good. Even my mom liked it! It's pretty mild so it doesn't overtake the main dish. I like it because it is not tomato based like so many Mexican Rice dishes! (I did not use cilantro - yuck!)
