I am currently waiting for some milk and rice to boil to make a yummy treat.
This is what I am trying!

Rice pudding

1 1/3 c rice
4 1/2 c Whole milk- I use Strauss, its really good, really thick whole milk that has a disgusting layer of cream on top that just adds to its glory
Salt
Maple Syrup & Honey- a 1/2 c between the two
Almonds
Cardamom
Orange zest
Vanilla extract - if I had or could afford a bean I would use it
cinnamon
nutmeg
2 eggs

Bring milk, salt, and rice to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes.
In a separate bowl wisk eggs with remaining ingredients. 1T at a time add the rice mixture to the egg until you are satisfied that you won't scramble the egg. Simmer a few more minutes and enjoy!

Flavor overload? I think so, but we'll see if it works.

P.S. Billy is currently making a Braunschweiger (in honor of the swine flu) and onion sandwich. GROSS.


Update:

Success! I have to say this is one of the more successful cooking adventures I've had.
for more specific measurements: 1 t of both nutmeg and cinnamon. 1.5 t cardamom, 1 T vanilla plus some. 1/2 the juice of a large navel orange, zest from the entire orange.

After a brief scare of scorching the milk, things calmed and it came along beautifully. In the end it was none other than Billy that determined the missing flavor was some finishing salt and more vanilla!
