Arroz Con Leche - Rice Pudding Spanish Style

There are rice pudding recipes from just about everywhere.  This recipe is from Spain and calls for round rice, which I didn't have in the house so I made it with medium grain rice and it's just delicious!.

I've had Arroz Con Leche cooked by people from many countries, and other than the rice pudding made by my cousin Sarah Rachman, Spanish Arroz Con Leche is my favorite. Super creamy, yet there is no cream.

I couldn't have made this today without my 'ayudante', my sous-chef, Mardely Elizabeth Guerrero Uyaguari.  She's the best in the kitchen.

Hay recetas de arroz con leche de casi todas partes. Esta receta es de España y requiere arroz redondo, que no tenía en casa, así que lo hice con arroz de grano medio y ¡está delicioso !.

He tenido Arroz con Leche cocinado por personas de muchos países, y además del arroz con leche hecho por mi prima Sarah Rachman, el Arroz con Leche español es mi favorito. Súper cremoso, pero sin crema.

No podría haber hecho esto hoy sin mi 'ayudante', mi sous-chef, Mardely Elizabeth Guerrero Uyaguari. Ella es la mejor en la cocina.

Thai Iced Coffee - Gaefe Yen - กาแฟเย็น

I love Thai Iced Coffee.  I first learned about it at Pongsri Thai in Chinatown, NYC many years ago and I've loved it since that time.

When I moved to Tallahassee, Florida I felt like I was in a food desert.  There were a couple of good restaurants like Sage and Il Lusso and Kyber Grill (since closed) and Persis Indian Grill, and there are a few good  take-out places like Tans Asian Cafe but, well, you get the idea.  By the way, I have not gone to all the restaurants here, so there may be some really great ones.  And there are some good places to buy ingredients to make good food, so that's a plus.

When we first arrived here, my sister and I went to a local Thai Restaurant and ordered Thai Iced Coffee "to go".  We thought that if the coffee was delicious, it would be a sign that the restaurant was good.  We ended up throwing the iced coffee in the garbage.  Oh well.  

So, I am doing it myself.

Note:  If you can't get Thai Coffee Powder (Oliang) try it with strong coffee like espresso.  You can find Thai Coffee Powder at most Asian Markets and online at Amazon and other sellers.
