HOT: {image credit} >> Rice pudding - eaten hot or cold. I love the home made stuff but lack of time means I’ve been hooked on the Yoplait Le Rice versions (especially White Choc and Raspberries!). Admittedly I am also craving some Filipino chocolate rice pudding known as

Blue Toadstool & Other Lovely Things
