Cooking Experiments

I am making rice pudding right now. I've never made it before; I've never eaten it before; hell, I've never even seen it before. But all of a sudden, I got it in my head to make rice pudding, so I went and bought some medium grain rice -shortest grain they had at the grocery store- and a handful of other ingredients.

We shall see how this goes.

EDIT: OMG THIS IS DELICIOUS

I've successfully made it with long grain before, too...
I do have to say, though, best results from arborio/risotto rice ;)
Lemme know how it goes

Ah, good to know about the long rice. I had literally no idea how it was even made before googling "how to make rice pudding", and the recipes I read all recommended shorter grain rices.

And oh man, I just finished making it, and it is quite delicious. I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing that this is so tasty and so easy to make. XD

I made a coconut rice pudding with a very syruppy brown sugar syrup (caramel) sauce a few years back. I used cardamom and cinnamon in the pudding.

And, YAY! for super simple, super yummy desserts

It's good with cinnamon and raisins, btw. I had it once at this Ukranian chick's house last year. Unfortunately, I ended up with the stomach virus later that night and haven't been able to even think about ever eating rice pudding again since. o.O

Yeah, the recipe called for golden raisins, which is cool cause I had never had them before. I sprinkled a tad of cinnamon on top afterward, but honestly, probably not enough to really get any flavor.

Shame about getting sick, I hate it when that happens and you can't eat certain foods for a while.

Haha, I'm glad it turned out well!

Another super interesting post brought to you by verb! Stay tuned for my next exciting episode of "why do you even pretend you can cook, just stop and order pizza like the next overworked sod!". :P

Don't mind my self-deprecation, I just harbor no delusions that my two sentence entry of cooking actually interests anybody but me. XD

Lol! At least you try. I could burn a salad. XD
