Last week I mentioned that my aunt came for lunch for a Mexican meal. I decided that, in addition to making the margaritas, that I would prepare an easy yet traditional dessert. Mr. O-P used to be the one to make rice pudding, and he was really good at it using, what I consider to be the best recipe in the land, the one from Neiman-Marcus. I decided to go for a Mexican version, spotted online, and make Easy Arroz con Leche. It is super simple to make. I stirred everything together an hour before my aunt came so that it was still simmering lightly on the stove when she arrived, scenting the room with the rich fragrance of cinnamon and vanilla.
