TwD Rice Pudding and a Makeover…

Let me first start out by saying I am not a fan of rice pudding…actually I think I may hate it. I know I may be in the minority here, but it’s a consistency/texture thing, not necessarily a flavor thing. However, since I sat out last week’s recipe, I felt obligated to at least give this a go. The boyfriend loves risotto, so I had plenty Arborio on hand. Thankfully, I read the P&Q about the recipe before I made it last night. Apparently the cooking time is incorrect for this recipe and people were ending up with rice soup as opposed to pudding. This description kind of made me gag a little, again, it’s a consistency/texture thing. The few times rice pudding has crossed my lips, it was studded with raisins, so I decided against that add-in. Instead, I went for pumpkin pie spice, cranberries, walnuts and vanilla. Well, truth be told, the flavor of this concoction was quite good; however, I am still not a rice pudding fan, and I have come to grips with the fact that I will never be! If my hatred for rice pudding has not worn off on you, check out the recipe by visiting Isabelle’s blog, Les Gourmandises d’Isa.
