After contacting you I continued my research.  I suspected that I had copied the recipe from the  Minneapolis Star and Tribune so I bought a  subscription and was able to find the recipe in their archives. This was originally published on June 27, 1973.  I  would highly recommend this recipe to any of your rice pudding lover readers. Donaldson Department Store's Rice Pudding 3 cups cooked rice 3/4 cup seedless raisins 8 eggs, well beaten 1 1/2 qt. hot milk  (6 cups) 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 T. vanilla Few drops yellow food coloring Nutmeg to taste Place rice and raisins in 9 x 12 x 2 inch oblong pan. Combine beaten eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla and coloring. Pour egg mixture in pan. Sprinkle with nutmeg.  Bake in a pan of water at 325 degrees 1 hour. Thank you so much for your assistance; I really enjoy your blog. Sharon Hi Sharon! Thank you for sending this! I hope your example is followed by others. Phaed
