What a great way to teach the boys their family history within the context of the nation's history. Rice pudding is such a cozy classic. Our family's 'modern twist' is to sometimes substitute dried cranberries for the raisins. I don't know about other families, but in ours there are two factions of rice pudding fans. The "purists" and the "pour milk or cream on top" folks. I'm a purist - good rice pudding doesn't need a thing.

Love rice pudding! And I love your family cookbook. We still have the one mom bought and used all the time. Hugs...
Beautiful luck to have such stories from your great great grandparents and to eat their food while thinking of them. :>
Thinking of you all and sending love ❤️
