We wanted to offer you some…

Who remembers Rice Pudding!? It definitely reminds me of when my mom would make it when I was little. The warmth from the oven… and oh that smell! I would always load it with cinnamon and well burn my tongue, because I couldn’t wait for it to cool! We are here in Czech with Zuzana’s family…
