Rice Pudding
February 24, 2010
is my new favorite winter midnight/bedtime snack.
Half a cup to a cup leftover brown rice
Milk, just enough to make it soupy
Handful of raisins
Dash of cinnamon
Dash of cardamom
Pinch of raw sugar
Combine in small saucepan and heat and stir JUST until it bubbles. Do not boil. Eat. Go to sleep feeling warm and content. Especially on February nights when the weather outside was invented by Satan himself.
Dang. Now *I* want some.
It makes a great oatmeal substitute on rainy mornings too. Though I confess I generally do it in the microwave.
My miniscule studio kitchen is completely trashed by my making cold cereal, let alone hot gloriousness. But I take solace in Trader Joe’s rice pudding (eating it right out of the container). It’s served cold, so it hits all the carb cravings and ice cream cravings in one go. Amazing.
What the hell is wrong with you people? Rice only goes with savory! :-p (says the Asian-American).
