At the European Cafe Activity on Friday night my friend Cindy made a Danish Dessert, so delicious, you MUST TRY IT!!!

DANISH RICE CREAM
Boil 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup of rice, 2 TBSP of butter, and 1/4 tsp of salt, just until the water is absorbed. Add 3 cups of milk and simmer for 2 hrs. Take a 1/2 packet of knox gelatin and about 2 tsps of water and mix until it thickens and add to hot rice. Add 2/3 cup of sugar and put in fridge til it sets. Stir in 1 cup of cream whipped and 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp of almond extract.

Serve with Raspberry or Strawberry jam on top, and slivered almonds if like. Its delicious with the almonds, trust me!!!

I've been working on getting recipes for upcoming YSA activities, and once I find and try some of them, I'll have them posted. YEP YEP!

TEN YEARS AGO:

Mmmmm….TEN YEARS AGO a week from now I would be turning 13. WOW! Becoming a teen, a time of my life! FUNNY! Well I enjoyed my 7th grade year because of the new friends I made. I was tired of being the baby of the school, so that year when I went from being a 7th grader to an 8th grader, I was thrilled!

FIVE PLACES I HAVE LIVED:

1. Waipahu, Oahu
2. Keaukaha (Hilo), Island of Hawai’i. Lived with Grandpa Robert and Grams Abbie
3. Temporarily lived at Walder Rd., while our home was being built.
4. Temporarily lived at Lihikai St.
5. Moved back and still living at 213 Todd Ave.

FIVE THINGS ON MY TO-DO LIST:

1. Finish this TAG-list
2. Update my blogs to post this TAG-list, among other things!
3. Get some recipes, among other things needed for upcoming activities planned for our YSA.
4. Claen up the house a bit.
5. Study my scriptures before heading to bed.

I ENJOY:

I love MUSIC!!! I’ve been sitting at the piano playing a few chords, and playing around some melodies. Found a few chords, sounding pretty decent for a melody I’m looking forward to working on. YAY for me!

I love MY FAMILY! Spend a lot of time talking and enjoying the love and company of my family. Even if they’re near too me or living so far way, they still bring so much joy to my life. I love them all.

I love MY FRIENDS and ALL OUR YOUNG SINGLE ADULTS here! I’m happy to say that 98% of my closest friends are members. Whom, I spend almost every day with at our YSA activities or institute classes or firesides or meetings. I love being with them. We all have obstacles needed to be face and being together gives us a chance to work things through, but be there in our hour of need by the support of each other. I love my calling as the YSA President, it’s a burden to take but I see it as a challenge. Something I’m learning to get pass, and something I LOVE AND ENJOY!
