Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

This wound up being a delicious rice dish more than the stewy sort of jambalaya I was expecting. I looked up the restaurant version online though and they looked pretty darn similar. Very good, and not over-the-top spicy, good for those who don't like too much heat.
