Old Fashioned Rice Pudding

AussieGal Tracey's Note:

I used to love it when my mother made this pudding. Unfortunately I would have to fight my dad for a bowl because as soon as he saw it he would eat the whole thing. A real yummy treat for your family.

This is a nice comfort food recipe - I used skim milk and arborio rice and the result was great - it does need watching though so you do need to be at home -I was worried that it might catch on the bottom of the pot but vigilence is the answer here.
