We’d been out for a fancy lunch celebrating our friend Donna’s birthday. I’d taken small lunch bags with a few orange cookies as “party favors”
We received the gift of homemade rice pudding perfectly baked by friend Margaret L. She brought it in a bag with ice packs. What a great “party favor”. Delicious. Reminds me of childhood. Thank you for this gift.

Here’s the Grand Concourse where we dined.


Looks like a good time!!
Yes it was
I do prefer my rice pudding hot, but that’s me being picky. Happy weekend, Ruth!
Thanks Jo. Same to you. Still winter here. Wondering where you will walk for Monday.
Next to a nice slice of pie, rice pudding is not far behind. Haven’t had homemade rice pudding in a long time. May be time to break out the recipe.
You’ll be glad you did, Rob. ❤️
I love rice pudding! I could never make it like my mom did.
This one might be close to your moms.
What a beautiful place to have lunch. Everything looks delicious, love rice pudding. Orange cookies sound great . Happy Birthday Donna!
Thanks Carrie. The recipe is linked if you want to bake them for Peter 😂
I love rice pudding and it’s been decades since I’ve had some. The orange cookies intrigue me and I shall give that recipe a try. JB
You’ll like the orange cookies.
Those flowers are stunning!
Yes they were just gorgeous.
