    I am currently waiting for some milk and rice to boil to make a yummy treat.
    This is what I am trying!

    Rice pudding

    1 1/3 c rice
    4 1/2 c Whole milk- I use Strauss, its really good, really thick whole milk that has a disgusting layer of cream on top that just adds to its glory
    Salt
    Maple Syrup & Honey- a 1/2 c between the two
    Almonds
    Cardamom
    Orange zest
    Vanilla extract – if I had or could afford a bean I would use it
    cinnamon
    nutmeg
    2 eggs

    Bring milk, salt, and rice to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes.
    In a separate bowl wisk eggs with remaining ingredients. 1T at a time add the rice mixture to the egg until you are satisfied that you won’t scramble the egg. Simmer a few more minutes and enjoy!

    Flavor overload? I think so, but we’ll see if it works.

    P.S. Billy is currently making a Braunschweiger (in honor of the swine flu) and onion sandwich. GROSS.

    Update:

    Success! I have to say this is one of the more successful cooking adventures I’ve had.
    for more specific measurements: 1 t of both nutmeg and cinnamon. 1.5 t cardamom, 1 T vanilla plus some. 1/2 the juice of a large navel orange, zest from the entire orange.

    After a brief scare of scorching the milk, things calmed and it came along beautifully. In the end it was none other than Billy that determined the missing flavor was some finishing salt and more vanilla!

    The Story of Miz Emily

    Told by VBar

    Miz Emily, crow extraordinaire, hails originally from Connecticut and moved to Boston for college in 2004. She and Vbar met their first semester freshman year at Northeastern University and bonded immediately over their love of fresh food, the middle east and the likelihood that they will never get decently paying jobs. In the proceeding years, Emily lived first in the Mission Hill area of Boston before moving out to Jamaica Plain to roost. In the summer of 2008 Emily migrated west to San Francisco she still lives with her man Billy. Emily loves global travel and has spent time backpacking around Europe as well as in Turkey and Brazil.

    Emily’s cooking style can be described as clean, natural and adventurous. Never one to back down from a challenge, can-not-do is not a phrase in her pantry. A master of substitutions, she rarely follows a recipe exactly, often with deliciously innovative results.  Always one to be inspired by her surroundings, she enjoys shopping for new and inexpensive ingredients in farmers markets and ethnocentric neighborhoods, in particular Chinatown. Emily’s meals are strongly tied to the seasons particularly since she is lucky enough to have access to fresh California produce. Emily’s strong caw and yummy mowables make her a truly upstanding west-coast representative for the Crows.

      MMMM I miss your rice pudding! Billy’s sandwich is funny, my brother occasionally eats liverwurst when he’s drunk and it always groses me out.
