serve it with chips, or as a side dish. It would be easy to try
slightly different versions by adding lime juice, ginger, pineapple,
or jalapenos, depending on your personal taste.

Arroz De Leche - Rice With Milk Pudding
1
cup of white rice
2-3
cups of water
1
cinnamon stick
1
tbsp of grated lemon, lime, OR orange peel
pinch of salt
4
cups of milk
1
cup of water
½
cup of raisins
1
tbsp vanilla
powdered cinnamon
Combine the rice, water, cinnamon stick, grated peel and salt in pot
that has a lid. Bring to a boil uncovered. Once it stars boiling
immediately reduce to a simmer and cover. Continue cooking until all
the water has been absorbed. Cooking time depends on what type of
rice you are using. Use your regular cooking method as a guide to
determine how much water to use and how long to cook. I was
originally going to provide specific instructions, but the
opportunity for variation is just to great (instant vs converted,
short grain vs long grain, type of pot, etc). So just do what you
normally do. If this is your first time making rice, do what is says
on the box.
Once the water has been absorbed add the milk and sugar. Continue
simmering. Stir the mixture constantly until it starts to thicken.
Add the raisins and vanilla and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from
heat and let cool about half an hour. Pace in individual serving
dishes and refrigerate. One big Tupperware container works too.
Sprinkle with cinnamon before serving.

tablespoon lemon juice
1

1 Soften the butter at room temperature and cream it with the
sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Mash the bananas and
add to the butter and sugar mixture. Add the salt, cinnamon, lemon
juice, and egg. Sift the flour with the baking powder and fold it
into the liquid mixture. Pour the batter into a greased (9 by 5-inch)
loaf pan. Bake in a preheated moderate (350 F.) oven for 1 hour, or
until a cake tester comes out clean. Serve with honey as a cake
bread, or as a pudding with cream or ice cream.
