I think she'll like it. It's been 15 months now, but lately she's been finding it harder than ever. 
(Missing my Dad I mean)
Cold? Ewww! My Mam always mentions (when there's talk about rice pudding) about how her and her three brothers would always fight over who got the skin!
My favourite rice pudding is one with sultanas and cinnamon in!
Soak the sultanas in alcohol, change the cinnamon to nutmeg and still serve it cold and I'll fight you for it!0 -
Sorry that's what I meant, nutmeg! If it's served cold, you can have it lol! Although I like the sound of soaking the sultanas in alcohol! Rum perhaps?
Never thought of doing that before! I love rum and raisin ice cream, so I bet rum soaked raisins in rice pudding will be really nice?!0 -
I came across a recipe a couple of months ago for oatmeal cookies with sultanas soaked in rum, I might have to try and find it again.
I can't stand rice pudding, regardless of how it's cooked. When I was in infant school we were told that we shouldn't stir the dollop of jam in and if we did we'd have to eat it all. I merrily stirred mine in and then came across a big yellow lump of who knows what, I was kept in all break for refusing to eat it.
I still can't figure out why we weren't supposed to stir the jam in.
Semolina on the other hand I love (no dodgy bits in it).Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0 -
shockingly... I cannot abide milk puddings of any kind.. Rice/tapioca/sago actually make me physically sick.. Porridge is in this bracket too and custard.. I think I would rather starve!
Semolina.. that too.. it is often lumpy though.. gross! like wallpaper paste!
Ames the yellow lump was stirred in skin... which just thinking about it makes me gag..
Jam or no jam.. it is not entering my body!
I eat ice cream.. and only eat 3 flavours of that!LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
It wasn't stirred in skin, it was a hard lump of something. It looked a little bit like a boiled sweet.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0

My dad too had porridge from a pan. In his last weeks - before he couldn't move etc - I went over and made him some porridge (how hard is it to make porridge exactly how people like....) And mum thought it was wrong to sit by his hospital bed with a pan feeding him his porridge. But I carried on, it was lovely. Dad's porridge exactly how I remember him eating it for years.
Mum now doesn't eat it add much as dad made it for her, but I might get one for me.Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....0 -

Not that mad on rum myself, I usually use a dessert wine or brandy but if you like it, it should work. (Tipsy sultanas are also a great addition to bread and butter pudding if you fancy tarting it up a bit.)0 -

During my dad's last illness he really returned to his roots and we took him in whelks (with vinegar) and brawn - heaven knows what the nurses made of it!0 -
Someone mention milk puddings? I like milk puddings - but its one of those things I rarely have.
I also don't mind a portion of chips once in a while and had got myself all set up ordered a portion of chips when out recently - only to find I couldnt have them after all:(???:(. The assistant had the foresight to ask me if I was vegetarian - and tell me their chips are fried in beef dripping???
I had blithely been taking it for granted that every chippie these days does chips suitable for everyone (ie in oil). Now wondering if that's a regional thing not to do them in oil??? as I'm pretty sure all the ones in my home area swopped to doing so years ago.
EDIT; Just done a quick google - and it seems most chip shops do indeed use oil for their chips (if they are in the south). Hence my blithe assumption I could still ask for a portion of chips here if I wanted to...0 -
Talking of milk puddings, I Love bread and butter pudding, but without the butter ha ha. So just bread, currants and egg. Cooked in the oven with milk.... HhhmmmmForty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....0
