Rice Pudding

My Mom was the best at making rice pudding and my brother Calvin also makes it very well. I have the recipe for the ingredients but never knew the order and the method to making it. It's one of those things I put off learning because it seemed too complicated. I found this recipe so I thought I would try it. It's sooooooooooo yummy. The only sad part being that I haven't had any raisins around to add to it. I love raisins in rice pudding and oatmeal cookies. If you have been afraid to try Rice pudding this is a "If I can do it, you can do it" lesson.
