| Rice Balls |
This was to be my day 1 recipe. I had thought since
starters are first this is day 1. However my laptop is under repairs and not delivered
on the promised date. Yes fool that I was I believed him... So this is the last
in the series Kids Delight.
Rice Balls was my kid’s choice, they watch some
cartoon/ serial and apparently there is one person who makes delicious rice
balls. This was okay as first try but bland. Next time...
