Comfort Food for When Your Honey’s Gone

Brian flew back to Montana to take care of his “girls,” all million or so of them. (Isn’t it amazing that, in the beehive, the girls do all the work?) And so, with time to head back to my budding screenplay, it feels like the right moment for a bowl of rice pudding. I came across this recipe for Exotic rice pudding on demand on the LA Times website, which is attributed to Deborah Madison’s book “What We Eat When We Eat Alone.” (Does a hankering for sweet starch make me that transparent?)
This one looks especially inviting, punched up with Middle Eastern flavors—cardamom, saffron, pistachio, and honey. Fortunately I have a very good one on my kitchen counter, produced by a beekeeper I know and love.
