Once a year, my mom makes her mom's Cherry Cobbler with the canned tart cherries and the tapioca and she remembers the wonderful memories of sitting at the dinner table with her family and enjoying her mom's homemade desserts. Her mom was a dessert lover so there was ALWAYS dessert if you ate all of your dinner.
We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~
We did get out for walkies a couple of times but we didn't find much color.
Mom hasn't had custard since she was much younger and lived at home and her mom made it for the family of five and that was a very long time ago. She can remember the round glass pyrex dish her mom used and it was so yummy. Ours is a much smaller amount but the wonderful taste and memories come flooding back.
Happy Tuesday, everybuddy!
Love ya lots♥

We had high 20's for our walk this morning~
We are joining Rosy and Sunny this week for Nature Friday~~
We had twenty degree temps on Wednesday morning with a wind chill so mom decided that Mitch's coat was a must wear for me. She was reading that pups with dementia would prefer to be warm. We can do that!
Mom had lots of milk that she needed to use up so she decided to make Rice Pudding.
| 1 1/2 c. water |
| 3/4 c. uncooked medium white rice |
| 2 c. milk, divided |
| 1/2 c. sugar |
| 1/4 tsp. salt |
| 1 egg, beaten |
| 1 Tbsp. butter |
| 1 tsp. vanilla extract |
1. In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring water to a boil. Stir in rice, reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered, 15 to 20 minutes, or until water is absorbed.
2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine 1-1/2 cups milk, the sugar, salt, and rice; mix well. Cook 10 to 15 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup milk and egg; cook 2 minutes more, stirring constantly.
3. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Place in serving bowl and refrigerate until chilled.
Mom made her cheese bread yesterday. She says that it is so easy to make and the bestest ever!
This is the recipe if anyone wants to have it:
| EASY CHEESE BATTER BREAD | |
1/2 c. butter 1/2 c. warm milk 1/4 c. warm water 2 1/2 c. all purpose flour 1 pkg. active dry yeast 2 c., 8 oz. shredded sharp Cheddar cheese 1 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. sugar 3 eggs Generously grease bottom and sides of 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Melt butter in warm milk and water (microwave works well). In large bowl combine 1 1/2 c. flour and all other ingredients; beat 3 minutes (had whipper works well) at medium speed. By hand, stir in remaining 1 cup flour. Cover and let rise in warm place until light, about 45 to 60 minutes; dough does not double in size. Stir dough down; place in greased pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, baked 45 to 50 minutes until golden brown. Remove from pan immediately. Store in refrigerator. Note: It tastes better after it's refrigerated, be eaten warmed up. Good with a little butter on it. | |
Finally, at long last we get out for walkies!
