Yesterday I had an amazing revelation, that to grab my hubby’s attention all I need is to cook up some rice pudding. I almost never make desserts because we have no will or control over ourselves (and when I say we I actually mean him) I like sweets but it’s not my weakness. On the other hand he could eat a brick if you sprinkle sugar on top. So I usually make an executive decision to ban sweets in my household. But yesterday I was feeling especially hopeful, and charitable, I decided to make rice pudding. When he arrived he said:

Him- Hummmm, the neighbor is making dessert, can you smell it?

Me- yes, smells like vanilla rice pudding.

Him- how do you know, she told you?

Me- No… I know because it’s not the neighbor, I made rice pudding.

My God! This man looks like he was Pepe Le Pew. He kissed me and hugged and…(well that’s all you need to know). Really… Who knew that all I needed was rice pudding? 

Vanilla Rice Pudding

• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 1 vanilla bean
• 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk

 First cook the rice in water with the vanilla bean. Combine the rice,  and the evaporated milk in a saucepan over Medium heat. Stir occasionally and bring mixture to a boil; cover and Reduce heat to low. Cook until thick and creamy, 5 to 7 minutes.
