Summer, thanks for the bumps, it's so good to see you here, and just for you to help celebrate the victory I thought you might enjoy this. BTW, I teach kids how to make this as a real culinary treat. Rice pudding is one of my favorite desserts, but some recipes have you standing over a hot stove during the entire cooking process. This version is virtually labor-free, and the results won't disappoint.
