I like rice pudding.  Anyone else like rice pudding?  Not many people can make good and correct rice pudding.

My mother made excellent rice pudding.  My wife's always turns out like a rice milkshake.  Mine comes out rice/shit pudding. 

Luby's Cafeteria makes a good one.

I'll ask my mom the next time I chat with her.  But I don't know how that will go, she'll usually tell me "oh it's some of this, this and this and it's done."  There's not even approximate amount of what all to use.  Or she'll tell me to just buy the premade stuff.  LOL

Luby's!!! Oh how I miss them! No such creature exists here. Which is puzzling considering the Seniors I see runing around.

And now that I've "hung out" with my elders, I must admit that they are on to something! Eat dinner early, avoid the crowds, go home and relax. That's the only to fly.

And no! I was NOT calling you old.  :innocent:

Regardless of my age, I have always enjoyed eating lunch out and then have a lite dinner at home about 7 or 8....after the cocktail hour(s).

Rice pudding is good....

Rice water is better....  (Horchata)

Anyone make their own?

Okay, Demonic Underwear, sir, I just got back from town, where I had gotten some groceries for the weekend.

I picked up one can of pure beef gravy, and one can of pure turkey gravy.

The store didn't have the stuff I usually buy--that's 79 cents a can, and this stuff was 81 cents a can; maybe everybody's being like the primitives, and buying up and hoarding food.  They had plenty of brown rice, though, tons of it, no limit on quantity purchased.

I don't know what the primitives are all excited about.

Anyway.

On these, the 12-ounce can of pure beef gravy has 125 calories, total; the 12-ounce can of pure turkey gravy has 75 calories, total.

Again, I'm surprised at the low number of calories in this.

I am surprised.  I guess I never thought about it.  Gravy has always been thought of as an "extra", something a bit on the decadent side.  I assumed, foolishly, it had to be fattening. 

I make my own gravy, all kinds of gravy, and I know what it takes to make it.   Each ingredient, individually, is generally considered to be things which make foods fattening.   

Not in my families house while I was growing up. My dads Philosophy was if it aint meat n tatters & gravy it aint supper. Any of it store bought was unheard of..

I found it.

I found it at the Wal Mart grocery store across the street in the lunch/deli meat section.  Good stuff.  Slighty spicy and very tasty.

I'm considering doing a paella tomorrow.  I picked up some vegetables, pork medallions, and sirlion cuts to go with the chorizo and chicken in the freezer.  I'll give it a shot tomorrow and post the recipe if it turns out okay.  I normally use chicken, shrimp, scallops, and chorizo.  I've never used beef and pork, but I understand paella is good with pretty much anything.  I saw a guy onTV make a batch with crawfish, beef, and pork that looked pretty tasty.

I also picked up some adobo sauce that makes a really good chili base.

Can you cook brown rice in the microwave? 

I find white rice very easy to cook, nearly foolproof, in the microwave and I've wanted to try brown rice but am not sure about the differences.

For white rice, I cook it on high for 5 minutes and then 10 minutes at 40% power for 1/4-1/2 a cup of rice.

[Chris_]

I don't own a microwave.  You might have to ask somebody else. 

If I had a choice, I'd bake it in the oven.

As a quick breakdfast food take left over cooked white rice, splash some milk in it, add cinnamon and sugar, some raisons.

Microwave until hot.

But for lunch or dinner type dining I much prefer brown rice over white.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

Cooking white rice in a micro is so easy I thought maybe I just had to alter times and could switch, I did by something like minute brown rice to experiment with.

I was having difficult after moving to my house last year in getting my rice done right on my stove.  I broke down and got a rice cooker.  It's super easy.  You just scoop in the rice, water to the line and turn on.  It's perfect every time.   

This is the one I have rice cooker and it's only $15.

I just saw on TV that brown rice is good for offsetting diabetes as long as it soaks 24 hours.

Does anyone have any recipes to make what looks and tastes like mini-cockroaches taste good?  I am thinking about some serious diet changes.

I have been able to get by but the last few months the readings are sliding in an unhappy direction.
