Rice Pudding

-
Okay, today after eating lunch. I was in the mood for something sweet but I didn't feel like eating chocolate or going out to buy something extremely junky.  So I made this with what I had at home.

And Oh my, Oh my.....  It was to die for....

This cream-a-licious, smooth and tasty rice pudding. Topped with strawberry and pecans was absolutely amazing. It can be eaten both hot and cold.                    And believe me I ate it both ways.


Serves 3 people

All you need is:
1/2 cup rice
2 cups milk
1/2 can sweetened condensed milk (about 5 oz)
1 cinnamon stick

Rinse off your rice and then put it in a pot and add in everything else. Your milk, condensed milk and cinnamon stick. Turn the heat on medium and allow it to cook for about 35 minutes or until it thickens. Keep stirring every few minutes so that it won't burn.

Thats it.  You can eat it just like that or let it cool then put it in the fridge and eat it very cold. They both taste equally as good.

This goes great with ice cream or whipped cream.

and you can make it for free with what you have at home.My husband and I went to this place in NY, called 'Rice To Riches' they sell extremely good Rice pudding in all flavors. The Price..... $7 - $9 for a small bowl.

Why not try it at home. It can be any flavor you choose, add extra cinnamon by sprinkling some on top, add coconut, fruit or whatever else. Why buy these things in the restaurant or desire to have it on any given day and not be able to.

Come on for something so easy, it should be a sin to be too lazy to do this.

Enjoy your cream -a -licious pudding.

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. ...

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i...
