MangiaMore: father's day RICE PUDDING

-->

RER 6.15.14

Yesterday was Father’s Day, the day we celebrate our fathers by doing things he likes best. My poor old dad had to work (and edit) so I decided, almost on a whim (okay, this might have been a little premeditated as we did have Chinese food earlier in the week) to make some classic rice pudding. As of late, I have been using my boyfriend’s family’s recipe, but because this was for my Daddio, I dug deep and used the recipe he likes better. And because I love him so much, I used raisins (no one really likes raisins in my house; my mother and sister abhor them).
