How I Celebrated

I love rice pudding and I am so glad that I convinced Nate not to put raisins in it. He tried a recipe for the rice cooker. Very much a comfort food.

History

Punchbowl
Rice is dare I say my favorite food. Absolutely cannot get over how delicious rice pudding is. My friend made it for me once and I also had it in Spanish class (arroz con leche). It is, however, significantly harder to make a good consistency with brown rice.
