Rice Pudding Recipe

I love making and eating this rice pudding when the weather turns cold. I had some milk to use up today so there's a delicious pudding waiting for me in the kitchen. I love the flavour of cardamoms but they can be left out if you don't like them.

2 oz pudding rice
1 oz sugar
1 pint milk
6 cardamom pods
nutmeg


Butter a baking dish (I use a Pyrex casserole with a lid)

Put the rice, sugar and milk into the dish

Slightly crush the cardamom pods with the flat of a knife and drop into the milk, rice and sugar mixture (optional)

Grate nutmeg over the surface of the milk (to taste) (optional)

Cover and bake in the oven for 2 hours at Gas 2 / 150 degrees Centigrade / 300 degrees Fahrenheit

Allow to cool a little and enjoy!

Natural Structure

I don't know what sort of thistly, prickly plant this is but I love the structure.

Frog Watching

My grandson and I watched a small, green frog jumping through the long grass today. I don't know a lot about frogs but I assume it was a common frog.

Air Show

The amazing Red Arrows...

...at the recent Lowestoft Air Show.

My first time at this superb local event where entrance was FREE and attendees were asked to make a small donation of £3.00 (at least). Many people apparently pay in the way out, having had a wonderful day. I was very happy to support the event with a £3.00 donation and I hope the organisers continue to provide this spectacular annual show. Many thanks to them from a first-timer who had a great day!

Silver Hedgehog?

Something strange on the road - it looked like a squashed, silver hedgehog - I didn't want to poke it about to see!

I passed it again when walking the dog yesterday and investigated - it was a scouring pad!
