I used to think that until I came across a recipe for rice pudding that involved raisins and orange zest, and possibly some vanilla, but that isn't traditional rice pudding. It was delicious though.
Meaningful holidays - can't remember when I last had one. I'm wondering about taking the plunge and getting the Eurostar to Paris for a weekend at some point, just to get myself out of the British Isles, and also partly to avoid the hassle of plane check-ins. I'm a bit put off by the thought that the Eurostar often seems to feature in the news as having got stuck in a tunnel for hours, and also that I haven't spoken French since some time in the last century. But chances are it would all be fine.

Because it is easier to take curtains up than it is to extend them?
Saturday morning walk to the little mosque and back earlier and the lad I wanted to see there was indeed there and saw me and came over to collect his photos - nice lad, 14 years old BUT his colour co-ordination skills are still to be honed - bright orange trousers and a shocking pink shirt created a bit of a clash! I hope the poor teacher was able to either do the class in the dark or seat the lad at the back as looking at that for an hour could have been a bit migraine inducing.

I wondered the same when I got new net curtains for a bedroom, but now I also have 2 pretty lace table cloths too!
Ariel - I've been trying out longer distance train travel (sleeper to Scotland, Eurostar etc to Spain, & also next month to the Alps) and much prefer it to flying. Although I am apprehensive about delays, especially as I have 2 connections next month.

Another item from our morning walk today - as we came onto the paved lane there was a gong of lads that we know heading off to a nearby-ish town to do some drumming and they had sent one of their number on ahead to the temple to get the sandal paste to put on their foreheads. One of the things I love about living here is that religion is an integral part of almost everyone's lives, and we all sort of get along - Hindu, Muslim or Christian. Folks are proud to be a part of their religious community but without belittling those who don't share their faith.

Stopped off on the way home today to have a look round a newish Indian general store that's opened nearby. What a fascinating ethnic mix of things they had - as well as all the usual English biscuits and soft drinks you expect, they also had a range of African/Caribbean tinned goods, a large section of Polish stuff, and a whole range of Indian foods from Kashmiri biscuits to a freezer cabinet of the sort of things you never normally see on sale here, like banana flower thoran (?), and a lot of things that sounded more South Indian than North Indian.
But no kulfi.
However their spices are significantly cheaper than the other Indian general store so that was noted for the future.
In other news, snowing on and off most of the day, but not settling. And I've taken 1 bag of clothes and 4 bags of books to Oxfam this weekend - you don't realize how much stuff piles up until you make time to sit down and actually go through it.

Himself loves banana flower thoran but I think it can be a little bland - it's nice occasionally but I don't rave over it. It is decidedly a Kerala dish so very South Indian.

We've probably had at least a foot of it, most of which has either drifted or been ploughed over towards our house.
Had a lazy, indoor day: after a v. long lie coloured my hair (the grey ones always show up more when it's been cut), made macaroni cheese for supper, and cleared all the bruck* from the dining-table. Then D. assembled the new butcher's block thingy, which suits the space very nicely.

Ooooo - no snow here but I imagine it'll be over the hill shortly. Must get the shovel out of the shed as digging it out is hard without a shovel!
Enjoy your dinner - turkey on the menu?

I woke up to rain, now more like sleet, it will take a while yet to become proper snow. Then I live below the snow line here, I suspect where my elder lives that snow is falling rather heavily.

Some sort of festival at church this morning - St Sebastian? LOTS of firecrackers before the service then a percussion band afterwards with the teensiest chendamelam drummer I've ever seen - possibly 4 years old with his drum resting on the ground but he was right there on time with the other guys.

Rain all day and the sleet is now settling into snow. Apparently we're due for 15 hours non-stop of this, which is likely to make the morning commute "interesting".
I keep checking the weather forecast in the hope it might change, but no joy so far.

You should be in s*dding Paris. Cold and extremely wet. We researched our restaurant, checked it offered evening and weekend meals, and set off. A few missed turnings and we eventually found it - closed.
Fortunately the cafe where we lunched was still open, and offered perfectly good moules and frites.
It's been a classic dish sort of trip. Quite a lot of Croque Monsieur, steak in a Perigord sauce, and coq au vin. Our one misfire was the classy burger place - they should stick to their own cuisine.

Yes we had turkey. But by then the snow had become first sleet and then rain. As it has got colder this rain has turned back into snow, and there is a thin covering of white outside now.

Not exactly - the kitchen and dining-room are one space, and as it's on casters, the butcher's block (over here it's called a "kitchen cart") can serve either as a divider between the two, or as a small island unit in the kitchen. Coming from a Small Island™, myself I can appreciate its usefulness ... ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Had a nice birthday - because of the weather, the choir and congregation were both a bit thin on the ground this morning, but we had enough to do a choral service during which D. managed to work in "Happy Birthday" as the choir was processing in. ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif) Then we had planned to try out a new restaurant for lunch, but it was closed because of the weather, and we ended up at a hotel restaurant where the food was unimaginative but not bad (decent steak and eggs, not bad fish and chips), but the wine was awful - Pinot Grigio at warm room temperature and I suspect from a bottle that had been opened rather too long ago.
After Evensong the choir had a wee bit of a do to mark the last Sunday before Lent, D's 10th anniversary as organist here and my birthday. It was very civilised and included CAKE, some of which we brought home, so please help yourselves.

We have Butterscotch Cookies that a Certain Canadian Diabetic seems to rather enjoy and, so far, they haven't mucked up his blood sugar too much - which is a bit sad as it means there are fewer for me! They'd be superb dunked in hot almond milk, which I really must try sometime soon.
eta: being lactose intolerant he eschews the hot milk bit and somehow I can't imagine dunking them in black tea!

Sorry Firenze, this was a miserable weekend to visit Paris. My parents were here too. We went to the market on Saturday morning so most of the delicacies were produced at home (we got mussels for Saturday night and a bunny rabbit for yesterday) and also got some very fine patisserie out of Fauchon (obscenely expensive but worth it). We also went for galettes because we were in Montparnasse which is where all the best creperies are.
Yesterday we wandered round the Musée d'Orsay because it was too cold and rainy and sleety to go anywhere outdoors.

It makes the news because it actually happens quite rarely. The nature of the company I work for means someone catches it at least once a week, and none of them has ever been stuck on a broken down train.

Nenya, don't worry. The mysteries of H and A days are quite beyond the understanding of us mere mortals.
You learn something new every day - I thought lactose intolerance referred to cows' milk, and that almond milk would be a good substitute.
My mother-in-law uses soy milk (which is absolutely horrid) as she was told to avoid dairy products as part of a rather odd arthritic diet.

Loveheart - I feel the same way - plenty of friendly acquaintances, but no real friends. And not even a sniff of a party!
I thought almond milk was all almonds - had no idea it was part cows' milk. As I'm lactose intolerant as well, I use soya, (soya light now as been told to have low-fat diet ) You get used to it.

in the uk almond milk is a substitute for cow's milk see but if definitely lacto-intolerant (rather than milk protein intolerant) then there is Lacto Free and Lactase tablets can be a real boon.

Depends which kind you get, IMO. The unsweetened kind takes a bit of getting used to. The sweetened kind is sweetened with natural apple juice, and I used to buy that and enjoyed it. Soya milk doesn't do well in hot drinks, though.

I've only ever had it in tea, and that very rarely: she usually gets in some Real Milk when we go over (bless her).
It would appear to be sn*wing again - I think we're expecting another 6 inches or so before the morning, but probably not enough for a sn*w day. Mind you, the forecast for Sunday night's looking interesting ...
