My Favorite Things . . .

 

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens . . . these are some of the things in life that I enjoy, and which make me happy, inspire me, or put a smile on my face. Maybe some of them are yours too.  Let's share!

*When the world is all at odds

And the mind is all at sea

Then cease the useless tedium

And brew a cup of tea.

In The English Kitchen today  . . .  Creamy Rice Pudding. Cooked completely in the crock pot.Using simple ingredients like arborio rice, milk, sugar, vanilla, and a touch of orange zest, it cooks low and slow until thick, silky, and perfectly tender. The slow cooker does all the work, creating a rich, creamy rice pudding with no scorching and very little stirring.   Delicious!

I hope you have a beautiful Thursday. Eileen has a Dental appointment today. I am not sure yet if I am taking her or if the CSS workers are taking her.  She had a very busy day yesterday. And I managed to get my talk written. I just have to give it a bit of finesse today.   Whatever you get up to today, stay safe and stay warm. Don't forget!
