Wednesday evening. They had left-over white rice tonight so I brought some home and made Travis a rice pudding. He has always loved them but I usually cook brown rice and that just doesn't seem to go with pudding!! I will give you the very simple recipe in a few minutes!
There has been something on my mind all day! Today a car pulled up behind me and there was a young man (looked like a kid)and he looked okay - but he had one of those jackets with a hood and it was pulled up over his head. I got to thinking about all of the kids and young adults I had seen lately wearing those hoods on their heads - one was a woman running. Now understand it was not raining, snowing, or extra cold. Is this a new style or is their hair nasty, head shaped funny, just not groomed, do they conceal something strange under that hood or do they think they are "styling"? It is just very weird in my opinion - and I may be older than they - but I believe I still know what is appropriate and what is not!!
It is kind of like the old grey headed men in camouflage wearing pony tails -- I just don't get it!! If you know the answer - please let me know!!!
IT is confession time now -- I have been challenged to replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts this week. The week has been challenging! I loved Melody's talk Sunday night about exchanging negative thoughts with positive ones but today I am having a hard time doing that. We were told through email that if we wear perfume to keep it very light so it won't offend someone else! This did not come from our branch but to me it was an infringment on or personal rights. Kind of like a church I went to where maybe 95% of the congregation wanted to do something or did something like a "Neighborhood fair" with cake walk, jumping jack trampolines, and other fun game on the grounds - to attract the neighborhood and get them to join us - and 5% later expressed their disapproval and we had to never do it again lest we offend them! What about the rest of us being offended by their disapproval. That makes it hard to exchange your thoughts! Let me say I am so thankful to be worshipping with a congregation that goes out of its way to minister to and attract the neighborhood and get them interested in hearing about the love of God and His Son - because of our interest in them!! Thank you Lord for lifting us up and setting us at Shiloh!!!
OLD FASHION RICE PUDDING
2 Cups cooked white rice
3 Eggs, beaten well
1 Cup Sugar
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 Cup Half and Half or whipping cream or just plain milk
1 tsp. Vanilla flavoring
1/2 cup raisins (Optional)
Dash of nutmeg
Beat eggs, sugar, salt, vanilla & milk. Stir in rice and raisins.
Pour into a greased 2 qt. baking dish, sprinkle with nutmeg and bake approximately 35 to 40 minutes. (I stirred mine at 30 minutes and cooked another 10 minutes.)
Must be good -- Travis has eaten two large bowls of it!!! I tasted and it is good -- of course I used Whipping cream in place of skim milk!!
Way back some time ago I promised a recipe for "Delicious Dirt" and could not find the recipe -- well here it is:
DELICIOUS DIRT
1 stick butter
1- 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
1 Cup powdered sugar
Mix until smooth.
Add:
2 pkg. (3 oz. each) Instant French pudding mix
3 cups cold milk
Continue to mix until smooth. Blend in 1/2 jar marshmallow cream until smooth. Fold in 23 ounce container Cool Whip. Crush a 20 oz. package of Oreo Cookies in food processor until dirtlike consistency. Layer pudding mix and Oreo cookies, ending with cookies on top in a clean flower pot or sand pail. serve with shovel.
This is a fun recipe - easy and everyone says - Delicious -- I just don't eat chocolate or dirt!! ha!
Have a blessed night! God's Will - join me again!
