David left town and left me with a half gallon of milk in the fridge. I never
drink milk. Someone suggested rice pudding (I forgot who! Sorry!) and since
today is our father's day celebration I figured I'd bring rice pudding. I
looked up a bunch of recipes and frankensteined them into my own version.

1/2 gallon 2% milk (i suppose any kind could work, i just happened to have 2%)
3/4 cup rice
2/3 cup sugar
cinnamon stick

spice mix
1 tsp ground cardamom
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger

1 tsp vanilla

rice, sugar, milk and cinnamon stick in pot over medium heat, stirring.
once it comes to a simmer add the spice mix. Simmer over medium heat 45
minutes or so, until it becomes thick and delicious. Stir in vanilla.

Cool, serve with golden raisins and pistachios

It soudsn delicious, like a comfort food that suits summer. I find comfort
foods are ususally winter foods. But this I am sure I would enjoy in summer.

I think I might try serving it with fresh oranges, or mango, if I wanted to
make it into a meal.

it was wonderful. I might go with next sugar next time, I thought it was too
sweet. I would also add more bits of crystallized ginger, they were way tasty.
