Adventures in cooking...

For some reason, I have been on a rice pudding kick over the last few weeks.  Normally, I get addicted to really really sugary sweet things (mmmm... chocolate!) but the rice pudding we get from Trader Joe's isn't particularly sweet but it's very very yummy.  After eating all of the 4 servings in the container that we get from TJ's over the last week or so, I got the crazy idea that I could make myself rice pudding and not have to wait for my next fix from the grocery store.  Well, let's just say that it didn't taste quite like the yumminess that comes from the store but I did follow the directions from the recipe and didn't make that much of a mess.  Of course I did this on a friday evening whilst awaiting Laurie's arrival from work (she doesn't usually work on fridays) with dinner and was very hungry.  I ended up having to explain why I had attempted rice pudding and not, (comma placed after review by discerning and confused reader, Laurie) say, something we could have for dinner that night (she was very hungry too!).  The mess of rice pudding I made is still in the fridge, awaiting banishment down the disposal or in the trash.  Oh well, I tried and the good news is Laurie says she'll give it a shot :).
