I must admit that I am not a huge rice pudding fan. It never fascinated me much, as I prefer rice in savory and not sweet dishes.  It's the long weekend here in New Zealand, so with Monday off I thought I will make a dessert. Its cold, windy and rainy outside and so a cold dessert didn't really cut it. I thought about various things to make and found some slivered almonds and pistachios in the pantry. While I was thinking of what to make, I also had to make some rice for our Indian lunch and then I thought I should really give rice pudding a try ....  Now that it has been made and I did a taste test, I am actually slightly impressed! Can't wait to serve this to K and little miss D :)
ENJOY!
