Hello, hello, hello. It sure has been a while, things around here finally feel like they are back to normal. We had a great time in San Francisco. We walked a ton and ate a lot of ice cream...and you know we did some honeymoon stuff. As soon as we got back John was on the grind, shooting a Doritos commercial and as that wasn't enough booked Heroes. Our apartment is finally painted and organized and it feels great to have a place for everything. I feel like everything I dreamed about is slowly falling into place. This is such a wonderful time in my life and I feel so blessed. Patience is so important and though its quite hard to have it sometimes, it is worth it. I wish I had something amazing to share with you but I don't. What I do have however is a recipe that takes some patience but it is well worth the wait. I made it for John the other night and he loved it. It really is the little things that make everyday special.
Easy Rice pudding
1 gallon whole milk
1 cup sugar
1 cup white rice (uncle ben's original)
1 orange peel
2tsp. vanilla (opt.)
cinnamon to garnish
Pour milk, sugar and rice in a stock pot. Cook for two hours maybe a little longer over a low heat.
Stir every 15 minutes (make sure you use a wooden spoon and run it along the bottom of pot to prevent rice from sticking and burning). When you see that it is beginning to thicken stir in the orange peel and vanilla. Once it has thickened turn off heat, remove orange peel and pour into serving bowls. Sprinkle with cinnamon and let cool. Enjoy!
