Daily Gratitude Challenge 2026 – Experimenting in the kitchen

, , , , ,
Horchata

My daughter loves the Mexican rice drink horchata. Today we tried making it ourselves for the first time, and it turned out amazing (according to my daughter). We don’t have any great Mexican restaurants nearby so it is awesome that it was rather easy to make!

What are you grateful for today?

    I had to look Horchata up. So, rice, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon? That sounds tasty. Great presentation of the drink. Thanks for sharing.

    As for me, today I have a lunch date with my youngest son.

      Thank you! Yes, it is very delicious! It is sometimes made with regular milk and sometimes with almond milk. I like the almond milk better, but my daughter likes the regular milk better.

      A lunch date with your son sounds wonderful! I hope it was :)

        I love almond milk. My family drinks cow’s milk, but I drink almond milk. Sometimes I drink the vanilla, but the plain is lovely too.

      Yes! It is very tasty! I have never tried making it myself before, but it was rather easy. I hope your new week started out in the best possible way.

    Fun glass, too! 😍
    Today reached 47ºF! I enjoyed my walk, as well as sitting in the sun for at least an hour, listening to birds. Great to be alive!

      Thank you! Ms. H. actually bought this glass with one of her first allowances every. She loves this glass, we only use it for special occasions.

      A walk and time in the sun sounds marvellous. Life is good.

    Looks delicious!! I should try and make it with almond milk since I’m lactose intolerant! 🤩
