More like "A dollar per holler" Actually 89c American for the last
one that jumped into my grocery trolley.

I paid $2.50 the last time I got one at the dollar store. Only problem
is I find they go "dull" fast. This one is due to be replaced again
soon as the pepper is not grinding fast enough for me now.

I'm pretty laid-back about it as the slow draw gives me time to think about my next move. Bv)=

I know I have no reason to get so worked up by it, but I just can't
deal with the speed of the screen draw. I want to believe me.

I'm not much on the reflexes and quick trigger style games. If you
think Scrabble is slow - try on-line Monopoly. A real snoozer

EVeryone else in the family here enjoys playing Monopoly on the switch.
I do not. Like you I find the entire game a snore fest. Especialy
when played on a computer.

I lost faith in Monopoly when I learned that the "Get Out Of Jail Free"
card only worked in the game. Bv)= Still had to pay that traffic
ticket.

Still, it's a trip to Atlantic City, NJ without visiting a casino or
having to be around Donald Trump.

When I lived in Californica some friends and I used to hit Lost Wages
every couple of months. Since I knew the slots were a mugs game I left
them for the little old ladies and played blackjack and/or roulette. I
also had a lo$$ limit of U$20 (this was early 1960s).

That was when the mob ran the place as a giant money laundry. And legit
(sorta) profit node. Meals were inexpensive and the shows .... I saw
Frank Sinatra at the Sands for a 2 drink minimum. And Penn & Teller's

Title: Las Vegas Hilton Rice Pudding
Categories: Rice, Dairy, Fruits, Desserts, Citrus
Yield: 6 Servings

1 qt Milk
3 3/4 oz Rice *
3 1/4 oz Granulated sugar
3 oz Raisins; to taste **
Cinnamon or Nutmeg ***
1/2 ts Lemon zest; or less ****
Cream or Half & Half

* It has been said for rice pudding, short grain is
best. I never saw any difference in long or short
grain rice. The choice is yours.

** I marinate my raisins in a little white rum &
white vanilla overnite. This is your option.

*** The spice(s) are your choice however, always best
to add at the very end when just about cooled with the
cream. Another option is you can add 2 or 3 cinnamon
sticks at the beginning of cooking & remove them at
the end.

**** This is optional, you can use a powder form if you
have it. However use much less as this form is strong
in flavor.

TIP: Do not mix in the sugar till the last minute or
so...because it is the sugar that leads to scorching.
Cook on a low heat covered or slightly covered. When
done remove & uncover let cool. When cooled or very,
very close to reaching room temp add the cream or
Half & Half and bring it to your consistency. That's
the other secret.

Now you can place the pudding into the fridge & serve
it the next day.
