Indonesian Ginger Chicken

I am always searching for a new way to make chicken.  It’s one of those blank canvas foods…just waiting for inspiration to hit and turned into something wonderful.

Beef Short Ribs

Best-Ever Rice Pudding

I have made lots of rice puddings.  The first time was from a Spanish cookbook and required four hours of cooking time.  (I would never have time for that now.)  The result was burned rice on the bottom…the top half was good though.
