Camilla of Culinary Adventures with Camilla is hosting our Foodie Extravaganza this month and invited us to join her in celebrating National Rice Month.  Let's see what everyone brought to the party....
Rice Pudding

Whenever I make rice pudding it reminds me of my Mom.  She used to turn leftover rice into pudding all the time.  Normally, she would bake it and it would be thick and custardy.  She would cut it into squares and we would pour milk over it.  It was more often served as breakfast instead of dessert.

There is a Chinese Carryout, No 1 China, near our house that has amazing food.  The owners are parents of one of the Teen's friends so it is a win/win when we order from them.  We get a great meal and we support a small, local business.

We always order the steamed dumplings and orange chicken.  On this occasion we also ordered roasted pork fried rice and sweet and sour shrimp.  It was all amazing.  Included in the order was also a container of white rice that we didn't even open.  It was put into the refrigerator with the remaining leftovers.  

The Teen enjoyed a late night snack of the leftover shrimp and I had the remaining fried rice and chicken for lunch the next day.  This left the white rice all by it's lonesome. Perfect opportunity to make some pudding.  I did not make my Mom's recipe this time.....it was way tooooooo HOT to turn on the oven.  Instead, I made this creamy, stovetop version and served it up for dessert.

  4. We always end up with massive amounts of leftover rice if we get takeout. This would make another perfect ending instead of more fried rice. I love fried rice but sometimes need some space.
