Rice, My Comfort Food

When I was young we would have rice a lot. While growing up in Sacramento California there were rice paddies all over the Sacramento Valley and I don't know if that had anything to do with the fact that we ate a lot of rice or not. 
Back then we ate white rice but
since I've been on my my own I have eaten rice in its more natural state, brown rice. When I was little we would have a bowl of rice with milk, sugar and cinnamon, which I considered this to be of my most favorite comfort foods. I also eat rice often in place of noodles. I will have rice as the base with the main dish on top.
But the recipe I want to share with you today is my basic comfort food 

 that is just a bowl of hot rice with milk, sugar and cinnamon. I now use like I said brown rice, and in place of white sugar I use raw sugar or honey. you can use any other type of sweetener that you like and a generous amount of cinnamon.

    I grew up in the SF Bay Area and this is the only way I ate rice as a kid too! Some people might think it was more like a dessert but it was a 'side dish' for me, finicky eater that I was. I haven't had rice this was for decades--think I might go on a reminiscence vacation!

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...
