Mmmmmm, just the thought of it makes my mouth water. Anything with coconut is good, right? This is how I made it today:
2 1/4 c. coconut milk, 1 c. basmati rice, 1/2 c. sugar, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, 1/2 c. raisins
- Put everything in a saucepan,
- Turn on burner and go see what the kids are yelling about, remind them to share,
- Come back, stir pudding, enjoy coconutty aroma, imagine how tasty it will be,
- Fill the dog's water dish, pick up a few toys in the living room, wonder why there's a banana peel on the couch, put scissors and tape out of kids reach (how did they get to the living room in the first place?), lament that there's laundry waiting, watch a few minutes of 'Toopy and Binoo', realize the kids aren't even in the room, plug in the laptop because the battery is almost dead, log into Facebook, remind myself I should be doing homework instead, wonder why it sounds like water is running,
- Realize it's the forgotten pudding boiling over,
- Run to the kitchen, remove it from the burner,
- Curse and clean up the mess,
- Add a little water to make up for what ended up on the stove,
- Stir, cover and simmer for 40 minutes....Voila!
hahaha It's any wonder we moms get anything done!!
ReplyDeleteI can't make rice pudding to save my life. Of course, my husband loves it. Of course, his mother makes it perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI found an easy recipe for CousCous pudding that is quick & easy - takes about 5 minutes and makes a good standin in case you ruin the rice pudding. Again. Like I do. Each & every time.
Your rice pudding recipe sounds easier than what I'm used to, so I'll have to try it. I'll hang on to the CousCous just in case.
