Rice Pudding

Have you ever had rice pudding? It's a dish made with rice, milk, sugar and raisin.  It's so yummy and perfect for cold rainy fall days like today.  Recently I decided I wanted to try making it so I looked all over the Internet for a recipe and this is the one I found.  It doesn't take much work but it does take time so allow yourself an hour before you want to eat it.  We eat it as a side but it could be a dessert too.
