MangiaMore: father's day RICE PUDDING

-->
RER 6.15.14
Yesterday was Father’s Day, the day we celebrate our fathers by doing things he likes best. My poor old dad had to work (and edit) so I decided, almost on a whim (okay, this might have been a little premeditated as we did have Chinese food earlier in the week) to make some classic rice pudding. As of late, I have been using my boyfriend’s family’s recipe, but because this was for my Daddio, I dug deep and used the recipe he likes better. And because I love him so much, I used raisins (no one really likes raisins in my house; my mother and sister abhor them).

Rice Pudding

¼ teaspoon salt for rice

2 large eggs or 4 egg yolks
½ cup white sugar
½ cup raisins (or whichever dried fruits suit)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 ½ cups milk
Cinnamon

Prepare rice as directed on package.

In ungreased 1 ½ quart casserole, beat eggs. Stir in sugar, raisins, vanilla and milk and mix in rice. Sprinkle cinnamon on top of mixture. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes in 325 degree oven, stirring every 15 minutes. Pudding is done when top of pudding is very wet and not set. Stir well and let stand for 15 minutes. Serve warm or chilled.

MangiaMore: CORN chowder


RER 11.13.13
It is once again soup season. The cold weather always seems to sneak up on us, and the chill gets into our bones (yeah, dramatic, I know, but it is really super cold out there). And what better to warm the soul than a delicious “meal” of soup (meal is in quotes because I can not really ever justify a bowl of soup as a meal, as I have said before).

But this corn chowder happens to be one of my favorite things. It brings me back to childhood-- the four of us sitting around the table, fighting for the crunchy fat pieces that had been rendered in the deep soup pot. The sweetness of the corn and cream, marries nicely with the meaty fatty pieces, and the crisp freshness of the red pepper, all soaked up by the soft starchy potatoes. This combination always ignites happiness in my belly, and a kind of comfort I do not necessarily want to find in soup.
