Comments

Using more egg whites
From: Carol Gulczynski
I made the rice pudding by using four egg whites instead of 2 eggs.  I whipped the egg whites until they were stiff and then folded them into the ingredients. I also used brown rice which has more fiber than white rice.  The flavor was excellent.  I've never tasted rice pudding before so I can't tell compare it with the "real " thing.  But, I liked it.

If you like Thomas and Pagel's wacky kids' crafts on TV, then you'll love "The Ultimate Book Of Kid Concoctions". This collection of over 65 innovative projects will educate and entertain the kids while they learn to make "knock-offs" of popular toy store items. Parents' will enjoy the book because most projects require zero artistic ability and nothing more than common household items. With out a doubt "The Ultimate Book Of Kid Concoctions" sets a new standard for children's craft and activity books. I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a classic.
