Izzy awoke with that same sense of wonder he always has at the appearance of snow. He was giddy with excitement and spent hours out in the front yard and backyard. Scooping, stomping, sliding, and sitting in it. Once inside, while warming up, a creative impulse arose and over 18 works of art are now spread out upon the floor. 
Not only was he quite the prolific artist but he also wanted to make something from our "cooking and baking list", rice pudding. But he said he didn't want just plain old rice pudding, he wanted berry rice pudding. So I looked around for a recipe to guide us and I was inspired by this Raspberry Rice Pudding.I came up with the following recipe while Izzy shook a stick at every snowflake to hit our yard. We were both delighted with the results.
