SIMPLE EASY DISHES from around the WORLD

It seems everywhere people have become avid bakers , trying new recipes. As a recent study has shown people are baking a lot more since the lockdown - me included. The search results for
banana loaf recipes has been one of the most popular. I have made a few once the bananas are over ripe and not so tasty. Another one i have made is a lemon loaf, which is a favourite for the tanginess

So have you been trying any new recipes?
I have pinned so many interesting recipes to try, but in most cases don't have all the different spices or ingredients. So have to improvise at times. I like simple, no fuss recipes with few ingredients.

FRENCH STYLE DISH
One simple recipe my mom use to make is rice pudding, was a staple for her , and surprisingly enough it is also a loved recipe in France too- RIZ du Lait . I do like the taste of it , especially with cinnamon and raisins and its so simple to make. Great way to use up the leftover rice.

The easy way to make it is in a slow cooker that way it doesn't burn if making it from scratch.
The recipe to make the French way.

NOW to ITALY
Another thing is pasta, I have a thing for the Italian food, especially tomatoey dishes.
The Italian have a love for a very simple pasta dish that includes a special grated cheese, pepper and pasta. Again so simple with few ingredients and I am sure a tasty dish.

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of? Okay maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars gorgeous , flawless and h
