Depends on the area, the cuisine and the "chops" of the person opening
the place. In our case we were "fronting" for the cat house upstairs and
paid no rent or utility bills. Still, it was a *lot* of work to do it
right.

Which? The egg sandwich? Or the not losing it? I sort of felt like I
was living a comedy routine when I thought about it.

That got me to thinking ... I'm not sure I have a favourite. As long
as it doesn't have banananans or coconut hairs - down the hatch it will
go.
2 c Cooked rice *
1 c Milk
1 tb Liquid Sugartwin **
- (1/4 c sugar)
1/4 c Raisins; regular or golden
1 ts Vanilla
1/4 ts Cinnamon
1/4 ts Nutmeg
1 Tart apple; shredded peel on
1/4 ts Ascorbic acid; colour
- keeper ***
1 tbsp liquid Sugartwin has the sweetness of 4 tbsp or 1/4
cup sugar. American Diabetes Assoc. guidelines allow 1 tsp
sugar per serving or 2 tbsp for a 6 serving recipe which
would taste OK to people accustomed to low sugar recipes.
Combine rice, milk, sweetener (or sugar) raisins, vanilla
and spices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and stir
occasionally until the mixture is creamy.
Core and shred apple and sprinkle with ascorbic acid color
keeper, or with a little lemon juice. Stir apple into rice
mixture. Cook a few minutes longer until apple is soft.
Serve warm or cold.
1/6 recipe made with artificial sweetner - 1 starch
choice, 1 milk
Optional: Cook 2/3 cup rice in 1 2/3 cups water. Make
pudding as above without apple and add 2 tbsp coconut.

NOTES: * I used brown rice - just for S & G
** Granulated (dry) Sugar Twin is MUCH easier as it is
a volume for volume substitute for sucrose sugar.
*** Ascorbic acid is also known as vitamin C. While powder
is available, a sprinkle of lemon or lime juice works just
as well.
