It's almost June

Hello again.
It has been quite busy for me. I went out to eat with my girlfriend and my cousins and celebrated another birthday on May 16. It was uneventful except for all the days out to eat.
My cousin RoseAnn and I went on a wonderful day trip. Had a great time in Medina. I used to live in Brunswick years ago and boy has that area changed. Had a great time.
I don't have a recipe today, but I do hope you all have a great Memorial day weekend. Enjoy.
Cook out and have a great time.
Will try and find a good recipe for you next time.
Happy Memorial Day!

Finally eating

Hurray!
I had my first food--real food. I didn't realize how much I missed veggies. Had some salad and tomatoes today. They sure did taste good. Was thinking about some of the dishes I fixed for my mom when she had her problems eating. One of her favorites was pork chops and rice. It is very easy to make:
4-6 pork chops seasoned with salt and pepper 2 cups white rice
2 cans cream of mushroom soup 4 cans of water
Season your pork chops as you want. Put your rice uncooked into a casserole. Lay the seasoned pork chops on the rice. Open your soup and pour into a bowl, mix in the water. Pour over your pork and rice. Cover. Bake at 350 degrees for 90 mins. or until water absorbed and rice cooked thru. You can add peas or broccoli to this and bake it and have a meal in one dish. The pork chops come out nice and tender this way.
Try it you might enjoy them.
Well, keep you posted on my progress eating. Have a good week.

Creamy Rice Pudding

Hi gang!
Still having problems with my teeth. It seems like I cannot get used to these things. Went for a reline and the girl who did it had a stomach ache and felt nauseated. I got it then. Boy, was I mad. Called them and told them they need to keep their personnel home when they are sick not working.
Here's a Creamy Rice Pudding to make:
1/2 cup rice 5 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 cup raisins (Optional)
Bring to a boil 4 cups milk, salt and sugar. Wash rice in cold water and add to boiling milk. Simmer slowly for 30 mins. or until rice is tender. Put rice in buttered baking dish, add remaining l cup of cold milk, flavoring and raisins. Bake at 400 degrees for half hr. or until the top is slightly brown. Serve hot or cold with cream if desired.
Gram used to make this and sprinkled the top with cinnamon or nutmeg, depending on her mood when it came out of the oven. We used to love it. Hope you will try it.
