     1 c  Water
     1    Bacon Strip; Thick, Lean

 Put the wild rice and water in a small sauce pan.
  Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a
 bare simmer, cover and cook until the rice is tender,
 1 to 1 1/4 hours.  While the rice is cooking, saute
 the bacon until golden brown and crisp, then drain on
 a paper towel.  Cut the bacon crosswise into thin
 julienne strips and set aside.  When the rice is done,
 gently stir in the butter with a fork until melted;
 season to taste with salt and pepper.  Just before
 serving, toss the rice with the bacon strips.
