Personal Notes:
Mama made this often. It is easy and simple and will feed a lot. Depending on altitude, add about 1/4 cup water, it takes more water, in high altitude. Mama added cinnamon once in awhile, not always. I don't think she ever added raisins, but they can be added. Her sister, Aunt Lee, always made this when company came. This was used as a dessert. Mama told me once when I was bragging about how well I made this dish, "It is easy, you use twice as much water as rice!" Blew my bragging rights, right out the window. So, like me, this is a dessert you can make, when most desserts escape you. Mama had a bowl of this at most family get-togethers. She used cinnamon when she wanted the dish to have that special touch. She used canned 'pet' evaporated milk to make hers. This gives this a richer taste than "just milk" tastes. Mama was all about making her dishes look as good as they tasted.
