There were good and bad people and good and bad motivations for fighting the war on both sides. It is really good the producers chose to let the viewers draw their own conclusions. I do appreciate the women who portray nurses; my main complaint is the seeming lack of balance between male/female nurses. In period male nurses outnumbered women nurses. The show has improved since my viewing of the first episode though - while still focusing on the female nurses, there are references to male orderlies, who I suppose are the same as male nurses.

It's sooo good! Mercy Street is interesting. Female nurses were around during the Civil War. Dorothea Dix recruited plain spinsters over 30 though and not pretty young widows. Mary is based on a real woman though what based on means could be anything. I like how the show portrays the conflicted feelings and complications people had. It's not a good Union free the slaves vs. evil South slave owners thing.

I've done a baked rice in the oven but it was for the entire time of cooking and not after a boil. <br />Baby is an adorable taste-tester. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-17092840540180256862016-01-29T05:30:36.711-06:002016-01-29T05:30:36.711-06:00I make something similar but with almond milk rath...I make something similar but with almond milk rather than cream or butter. It's good stuff - particularly when you add in carrots and raisins.

Here in Mexico we have a dessert called "arroz con leche" which is basically white rice, milk, sugar and cinnamon (sometimes we can add raisins and nuts). Now I see that butter might be a wonderful add :)Elihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15435377831008731089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-87585693581407056542016-01-28T01:59:03.190-06:002016-01-28T01:59:03.190-06:00Looks really very tasty!

The only not so good try was for pudding :)Smily-Светаhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11013590387546150532noreply@blogger.com
