Loco OmuMoco Rice (LocoMoco + Omelette Rice)

Omurice (omelette rice) is something of a staple comfort food in Japan, and Loco Moco is something of a comfort food in Hawaii, and since both traditionally contain meat, I've not gotten to enjoy either since I became a vegetarian in 2014.  Five years I've gone without my favorite comfort foods, and that is just not okay. Well, until now.  I've fixed it now. This meal's kind of a pain in the ass to read through, instruction-wise, but it's not all that hard to make, really.  You invest about an hour in it the first time you make it, but then you get leftovers sufficient for like 4 more meals-for-two, and making it after you've gone through the trouble the first time is easier than falling in love with Luke Skywalker again , ask me how I know any of these things. It's also really delicious and really impressive and goes unnecessarily well with green tea, beer, and butter mochi .  Ask me how I know that, too. Don't let the ingredient list or instruc...

Horton Hears a Horchata

Why  would anyone ever pay for this in the store?  It's stupid-easy to make and tastes amazing made at home.  Pretty sure I'm in love. Also tonnes of love to the lady who posted  this amazing video  on how to make homemade horchata.  I've tweaked the recipe a little (because of course  I have) but she was the original inspiration. You can make this in about 2 hours, but all said it takes about 5 minutes of work.  Gonna bet that it's amazing in the summertime, but it's January and 17*F/-8*C where I am and I'm enjoying it. so maybe it's just that good. . Not maybe.  Definitely.  This drink is good . Horton Hears a Horchata Ingredients 3/4 cup rice -- whatever you have in the house 1 1/2 cup water, warm to a simmer 1 Tbsp vanilla 14 oz sweetened condensed milk 12 oz evaporated milk 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon 6 cups drinking water 12 ice cubes Instructions In a cereal bowl, combine rice and warm water, stirring just until ...

Sarlacc Pit Rice Bowl

Not so long ago, in a galaxy just parallel to the one far, far away, it turns out that we're  the ones who eat the sarlacc, not the other way around ... I've recently discovered the absolute treasure trove that is Star Wars . Yes, I know I'm about 38 years late to this party (which is, in-and-of itself impressive, since I'm only 32), but in my defense , my introduction to Star Wars  was that godawful trilogy from the early 2000s that we don't talk about, okay . I half-watched the orig-trig in its entirety in about an hour before going to see Ep II after half-convincing myself that my unfamiliarity with the franchise was the reason I'd disliked Ep I so strongly (spoiler: that wasn't the reason, the reason was that the movie sucked ), and then after I sat through Ep III a few years later, I decided that yeah, Star Wars  wasn't my thing and went back to lavishing all of my attention on Star Trek  and anime. But then this Christmas, we went to see Ep...

Rice Pudding is NOT a Breakfast Food

I ate it for breakfast anyway. And then I was sick. It's just so delicious , is all, and David made it for me before our breakfast smoothies so I was hungry and then I ate like two dishes of pudding and  my smoothie and now I'm uploading the recipe to my blog whilst curled up  on the sofa in a ball of very happy regret. Make the pudding after breakfast, is all I'm saying. And double the recipe next time, David. I ate so much of this stuff (he had a serving, too) that now we only have one serving left! ;A; (This is a fabulous way to get rid of leftover rice, by the way. Make a cup of rice, eat a quarter cup of it for lunch, whine that you don't want rice for lunch anymore, the leftover rice'll get nice and hard and  inedible as straight-up rice, and then boom! Pudding!) :} Rice Pudding is NOT a Breakfast Food Ingredients 3/4 cup uncooked rice, which you will cook 1/3 cup raisins 1/4 cup milk (I use soy) 1 tbsp Irish cream 2 cups milk (I use soy) 1/4 ...
