Baked Rice Pudding

Projectile Rice Pudding: A Baker's Piston (PV=nRT?)
During a short visit to my parent's place, I decided that I'd make rice pudding with raisins (my father's favorite), but with a twist! As opposed to the traditional rice pudding, I thought that I'd bake it with a graham cracker base and try it out with a little bit of lemon. Although I did enjoy it, it should be noted that people generally don't like it when you alter traditions... (On a side note, happy Father's Day!)

This recipe was borrowed from the 50th Anniversary Joy of Cooking cookbook, I think. (05/19/2013)

Spinach Fatayer

Spinach Fatayer: A delicious filling wrapped in a light pastry!!
Oh man. I really liked these... 

Each of the fatayers hide a rich filling composed of spinach, ground beef, green olives and cheese among other things, which makes this (in my eyes!) a seemingly healthy snack! Needless to say, I wouldn't hesitate to substitute a pile of these for a whole meal...

The recipe for these was snagged off of Delices d'Orient's blog, which can be found here! (These were made 05/16/2013...)
