P365 Day 6: Necessity is the mother of pudding recipes



My wedding anniversary is Sunday, and Mom called the other day to ask how Paul and I planned to celebrate. "Oh, we're not doing anything," I told her. "Well, you're at least going out, right?"

Actually, we only had two things on our list: (1.) Go to the store together, pick out anniversary cards, show them to each other, then not buy them; and (2.) Order some rice pudding from NYC's Rice to Riches. We stumbled on RtR when we were in New York a few years ago and have vowed that One Day (that undetermined and mystical vanishing point of the future) we'll order some for a birthday or anniversary.

Then the $480 utility bill came. The name of the store is not $55 Rice Pudding to The Poor People Who Keep Their House at 72 Degrees.

So I set about making my own chocolate-chocolate chip rice pudding last night, tweaking a recipe I found online. The result might not look pretty but it is mega-uber-ultra-tasty.

Take that, utility bill. I can now add rice pudding to my kitchen repertoire.

Who could pass up chocolate on chocolate, no matter how it looks? Happy anniversary early, by the way. Seven years, isn't it? :) I'll just pretend I'm not jealous that you found something so good.

The vanilla rice pudding looked even better until i stirred it all up. I apparently was not supposed to do this and prior to me stirring it was vanilla colored with chocolate specs. Now it is just brown with browner specs.

It is still very tasty. A++ would have Kate make again (And i would eat again)
