Creamy Rice Pudding

Ingredients:

3 1/3 cups milk plus more if  needed 

2 Tbsp unsalted butter

1/3 cup granulated sugar 

1/2 cup uncooked white rice

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup raisins optional

3 Tbsp heavy cream


Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine milk, butter, rice, salt and cinnamon.

2. Bring to a simmer and simmer uncovered, stirring frequently, for 30-40 minutes, until rice is tender.  Be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan when you stir it.  If the mixture appears to dry out during cook time you can add a few splashes of milk.  

During the last few minutes of cook time, add the vanilla, raisins, and heavy cream and simmer for a couple more minutes.  Serve warm or chill.  The rice pudding will thicken up after chilling: you can stir in a splash of milk to thin it out again.  

ICKY STICKY SWEET AND SOUR RIBS


Ingredients:

  • 1/4 extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 medium red onions finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups red ale
  • 3 cups dark brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 3-4 racks baby back ribs
