Rice Porridge

With the visit of my sister in law and her fiancé, I thought I would share with them some Moldovan foods. This morning we had a breakfast dish called rice porridge. It is a dish that varies depending where you are in the world, even served as a dessert. So, I thought I would share this basic version found in Moldova with you as well.
