RICE PUDDING BABY

So... Kevin Johnson and I may or may not be obsessed with Rice Pudding at the moment. We're trying to be more responsible adults now that we have a mortgage, so going out on a whim for ice cream or stroopwaffel all the time isn't our style anymore (at least, that's what we're aiming for 😉). Rice pudding is this amazingly delicious, creamy, and inexpensive-to-make dessert that has us smacking our lips and wishing for more the very next night. Here's our go-to recipe, credit given to allrecipes.com!

Ingredients: 
  • 3 cups rice (already cooked. To cook it: Just boil 3 cups of water and add 1.5 cups of rice, boil for 15 minutes and you're golden)
  • 3 cups milk
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • vanilla and butter (optional)
Instructions: 
Mix the rice and 2 cups of the milk together in a medium size pot. Heat it for 15 minutes over medium heat, stirring at least once a minute. In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, 1 cup of milk, and sugar. After the rice mixture has heated for 15 minutes, add the egg mixture. Heat and stir constantly for 4 more minutes. Remove from heat, add 2 tsp. vanilla and 2 Tbsp. butter, if desired. Let cool for 10 minutes. Then serve and enjoy!

The Problem with Chick Flicks.

I really, really, really enjoy a select few movies that I willingly watch over and over again. Pride and Prejudice is one of them. You see, Elizabeth's defense of her family, her sense of self respect, her ability to admit that she was wrong and to appreciate Darcy despite all his quirks, and quizzical brow-ness... it's marvelous. My husband doesn't share the sentiment, could you tell? ... and that's okay. There's rare a chick flick I enjoy near as much as I enjoy Pride and Prejudice or A Walk To Remember , and I wanted to explain why. You see, there's more than just a few problems with (many, not all) chick flicks:  (and if you have a chick flick that escapes many of these pitfalls then please oh please leave it's title in the comment section!) The heroine (or suitor) is less than honorable. I have a hard time rooting for a girl to get a gentleman when she's spending her time being scandalously loose with other men ( #thenotebook) . An...

Where's Number Three

A neighbor in her mid-thirties. A woman in her seventies. Their single commonality? They both asked me: Where's number three? I have a son, his name Charlie And then McKay, he's not quite three In my heart, both fit perfectly Yet others ask: Where's number three? Perhaps it's that I miscarried, My spouse's infidelity, The ache of infertility, A battle raging mentally, Illness on a crippling spree, Our family is complete, maybe. The reason's one or more of these, Yet you dare ask: Where's number three? In this question, running free Are judgements, jeering icily "You're not enough, Mik, can't you see? Buck up and give us number three!" I used to flounder, squirm, agree Or curl up small, cry, and plead. With time, I've seen things differently. I won't explain for number three. The questions of maternity Are just between my spouse and me And Parents, guiding Heavenly So please don't ask: Where's number three? Artwork Credit: Be...

Jane Manning James

Who:  Jane Manning James was one of the early members of the restored church of Jesus Christ . She hungered to find God's true church, and when she was a teenager she heard the missionaries teach in her Connecticut home, felt the veracity of the truths they taught, and was baptized a member of Christ's church the following Sunday. During her long life as a member of the church (her membership spanned over 70+ years), she traveled from Connecticut to Nauvoo, Illinois; from Illinois to Winter Quarters, Nebraska; and from Nebraska to Salt Lake City, Utah. She suffered many racial persecutions along her journey (including from other members of the church), endured cracked and bleeding feet along her long journeys on foot, and survived the crop failures that resulted from a cricket infestation in 1848; among many, many other trials. She married Isaac James in 1844 and raised 10 children. How I Learned About Her:  I first learned about Jane during a worldwide broadcast in ...
