Rice Pudding

rice-pudding-recipe

Rice pudding used to be one of my most favorite treats when I was a kid.

My beloved Mom liked to prepare it quite often. Sometimes she made a rice pudding, and sometimes she turned rice pudding into a sweet rice pie, a lovely comfort food which you achieve by baking sweet boiled rice for a couple of minutes and then you serve it with fruit syrup. I liked that one too. But frankly, I liked it much better when my Mom had a bit of a lazy day and declared ‘That’s it!’ over a pot of steaming and fragrant boiled rice. I can still remember those days… the pot was green, the rice was sweet, and the life was magical.

Oh yeah, childhood… but back to the recipe… this is how I made the treat today…

This is what we need.

Oh, how I love simplicity.

Enjoying the small things? Yes, please. Me like that!

Here are a few of them that’s made me really happy recently.

Like visiting Gibby – our beloved gibbon – at the zoo the other day. He greeted us with joyful jumping. We told him we can’t wait for the spring to come because then we’ll be able to give him the apple slices he likes so much. He smiled, waved, and said he loved us so, so, SO much …well, not all that, but nearly.
