Rice Pudding Mecca

This is the North view from my office. I think it is Mt St Helens.
Summer is ending. I first noticed in the sunrise times. Here it is 6:20 am and the sun is just rising. It seems just days ago that at 6:20 am the sun was full up and shining. 
I do love the view of the red metal bridge and the sunrise of Portland. It is truly a pretty city.
The other summer ending phenomenon I noticed was the trees--I have officially seen the beginnings of leaves changing color . I am not ready to let summer go.

I have been on a rice pudding recipe hunt for over 10 years. I have found several I like but none that I love.I remember seeing a segment on the news in Utah about a place called Pudding on the Rice Well they closed the one in Utah and moved to Portland. Aww. I saw it the other day while walking downtown. I decided to give it a try.
I asked Todd to meet me there for lunch on Saturday. I could not have been happier. I tried caramel, banana, mint chocolate chip. Todd tried peanut butter and settled on pistachio. I choose coconut. It was the best! I cannot wait to go back.


They also had savory crepes. Todd and I shared a Blackberry Cristo. It was like a Monte Cristo Sandwich but in a crepe with a blackberry spicy reduction. It was completely wonderful. I also want to try the crepes with nutella and bananas and creme! I am so thrilled that I found this rice pudding mecca!
