I love rice pudding ,i always cook the rice in water in a saucepan then drain and add Evaporated milk and then put nutmeg on the top and finish it off in the oven ,makes it nice and creamy.

When hubby was a boy and his mum was ill ,his dad cooked a rice pudding ,he didn't think that just a little rice would be enough so he put the whole packet in !!!!!

If you cook your rice pudding in a pressure cooker with milk it comes out as if its been made with cream .

Your all at it again---making my mouth water--Love a good rice pud
great with whipped cream on----

At Gdaughter's Grad yesterday she's 14----and as you know I have a

I won't tell what he said!!!!.Then he tells me he doesn't like rice pudding.I said well you will tonight lol. It does look gross and has the consistency of very thick porridge when it has gone cold.

Mandy ,My Mum made Junket when anyone was ill.My sister loved it .I hated it.I wonder what the verdict will be on the rice pudding???? I have a feeling I won't be doing it again lol

Evening all
just been reading all your posts , firstly sorry to read the sad news about Maureen's mum. God Bless you and your family Maureen X XX , your in our thoughts and prayers. love Fiona.

I Managed to sit all the way through Sunday church service with no problems on Sunday morning so I am very happy things are hopefully getting back to normal still not tempted to read a book yet or stay on the computer for too long but I'll get there.

Daughter no 1 & Sofia are back with us , Sofia keeping us up in the middle of the night as usual, so going to bed for frequent lie downs when I get the chance, Weather is still lovely here we have had the odd shower now and again but still feeling very warm, thanks for the pics of the dog Jane is that your daughter Hannah.?

It's a suunny evening and the washings still out on the line , I better not forget to bring it in , I'm off down stairs daughter no 2 is shouting that she is off home now and can't find the bag of clean washing I did for her. tut tut. Sofia is a sleep and we don't want her woken up, better go and sort daughter out
BBL.

Oh dear ....no one upset Jane ,you might get the rice pudding thrown at you !!! LOL

My sister had an argument with her hubby years ago and she threw the rice pudding at him !! it stuck to the wall and was there for a few days as neither of them would back down and clear it up !!

Another early night for us ,we have a lot of walking to do tomorrow at the show ,and i'am always a bit worried incase one of the little ones get lost ,you only have to turn your back and they can wander off ,Chelsea wears one of those wrist straps ,i hate it as it looks like you've got your child on a lead ,but at least it keeps her safe.

I wouldn't dream of crossing you Jane, I know better, you would be over here and beat me up.!!!!

I have been a big KID again tonight. was watering the back garden, and could hear the children playing next door in the pool, so I squirted the hose over the fence, they screamed with laughter, and got their water guns out, and we had a water fight, but of course I had the benifit of the water pressure and the high jet on the hose setting. I WON.
I did it last night too.

You must remember the advert for R whites Lemonade. I'm the secret lemonsde drinker. The chap going to the fridge in the middle of the night.

We had dinner about 7.pm. I didn't make a rice pudding after all, strawberries and cream instead. But will do one another day.

What a lovery surprise today. OUR SHIRL. came on SKYPE we had quite a good chat. 4.30pm here 11.30am over there. Her voice was as though she was sitting in the chair beside me. She's having a lot of rain at present. She has been in Canada over 50 years and still got her Scottish accent. !!!! Will speak again soon.

Anyone else on SKYPE. we could all chat to each other. It's no big deal to set it up. and no cost of calls. GREAT.

Ann not his daughter she's MELISSA VENEMA NOT--REIU

But she' is for his home town Masstriecht holland

Fiona, nice to see you back, even if only for a few minutes. Keep improving my love, the children will see to that, will run you ragged !!!!

Have a good day tomorrow Mandy, Don't over do it, or you will suffer, you have to be careful at your age !!!!

Ann, sounds like Prickly heat rash ? i get it some times when we've been in the heat abroad .

Another dessert i like is like a milk jelly, you put the tin of Evaperated milk in the fridge to really chill,then you make a jelly with 1/4 pt water
whisk the milk untill really thick ,then gradually add the jelly ,you end up with milk jelly at the bottom and mousse on the top.

Frank !!! you cheeky thing ...at my age indeed LOL

55's not old is it ??

We used to be on skype when friends in Tokyo but we had problems with reception or something so havent used it since.Frank just pick up the phone anytime and we can have a natter.You have my number but I don't have yours.
We haven't eaten yet ...sausages ,burgers ,and roasted mediterranean (sp) tart.NO-ONE FANCIES THE RICE PUDDING .How dare they lol.I will be eating it for a week.
I can just picture you Frank with your hose out ( in the nicest possible way) I'm not being rude here.
Ann have you any Calamine Lotion for OH's itchy spots ???
Fiona yes it is Hannah in the photo.
I can't see us eating for ages yet.No-one is ready or feels like it.Chris said I could fill the gaps up in the paving stones on the patio with the Rice pudding.

Oh, Poor old Jane, everybody getting on to here about her Rice pudding. !!! Feed it to the birds, they will love it, they won't be able to fly for a week though !!!!!

Sorry Mandy, There's me thinking you were more Janes age. 64.????? Now I am in trouble. But who cares, you are only here once, so enjoy life. I'm in a silly mood this evening, must be the weather.

My deepest sympathy to Maureen

Cor .....You've done it now Frank ,you'll be getting the rice pudding in the post !!! LOL

Mandy, now you're talking about one of my favourites.......evap milk jelly. lol I used to make them a lot in the 70s......especially the lime jelly one!! I love the way it separates from the mousse bit when it sets.

Yes I have some calamine lotion Jane....got it when I had shingles....he can put some on tonight, correction, it will be me that has to put it on!! Like little boys aren't they.....

Jane!! I hope you clipped his ear!! Can you thin the pudding down with some cream.............?
