Hope you enjoyed the February Photo Challenge and hope it didn't make you too hungry!
Thank you Eileen for hosting the monthly photo challenges and thank you, Joy for suggesting such a great topic! I enjoyed participating.
It is always so interesting to see what foods other people enjoy! I had never heard of milk rice until I read about it here...not just today but before, too.
ReplyDeleteI loved French toast when I was a kid and the only time mother ever made it was when we were feeling sick-it was our first "I'm feeling better" food. lol.
Have a great weekend- xo Diana
Milkrice is essentially rice cooked in milk, usually in coconut milk but regular cow milk maybe used, too. I have not cooked it in other milk such as soy milk or almond milk, etc.
DeleteFrench toast is a wonderful "I'm feeling better" food.
Thank you, Diana; I'm recovering from oral surgery this weekend and I have to wear something called a jaw bra for 36 hours! Including while sleeping!
Not heard it called Bombay Toast before. One old English name 8s Poor Knights Of Windsor. Those lemons look luscious
ReplyDeletePoor Knights of Windsor is an intriguing name! I like learning about the different names of foods. :) Thank you; the lemons are just begging to be picked!
DeleteInteresting pictures. I had no idea that your milk rice was cut into shapes. Is it always a diamond?
ReplyDeleteHope you have a quick healing from your dental surgery.
Yes, milkrice is usually cut into diamonds before it is served. I am not quite sure why, though!
DeleteThank you, June; I have been given something called a jaw bra to wear for 36 hours to keep the swelling down. It has a pocket for an ice pack, which must be on for 20 minutes and off for 20 minutes!
The pancakes look good enough to eat! I don't know if I could manage to keep three "alive" long enough for a photo - make one, and it's gone in a flash! I am never sure what French toast is meant to taste like. First time I had it it was really nice - can't remember where but perhaps made by a Canadian friend. Any since has not lived up so I don't know if she did something special to it or what. Yours looks good - I could probably give it the benefit of the doubt and dive in!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lady Ella. Don't worry, the pancakes didn't live much longer! LOL.
DeleteI suppose the taste of French toast depends a lot on the batter - the ratio of eggs and milk, etc. I like to add a little vanilla essence to my batter because that is what my mother used to do. I've had French toast made with only beaten eggs, no milk, and while I like them, my daughter doesn't.
I am incredibly hungry now. Everything looks so delicious!
ReplyDeleteThank you, hannah jane. :)
DeleteThe curry bread looks very tempting. I've never heard of it before and am now wondering if it's available in this country. All your curry photos look delicious as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in, Bless xx
Thank you, Eileen.
DeleteThis particular curry bread is a Japanese version and is deep fried; there is a Sri Lankan version which is baked (I make that with regular bread dough).
Thank you, Eileen, for hosting the monthly photo challenge. I really enjoy participating in it.
Beautiful photos!!! I love rice! I don't like anything too hot and spicy, but I do love herbs and spices...thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. We eat a lot of rice in my house. :)
