So it may have been awhile since I last posted. Honestly I've been a little lazy in my cooking. Fortunately for you all (not so much for me) I went grocery shopping hungry and thought it would be a great idea to buy a box of arborio rice even though I don't know how to make risotto. Last year I tried once and failed, today I tried again and failed again. Today's experiment was pumpkin risotto with caramelized onions. Tasted ok but something was missing, like the flavor was very one note, maybe you will have better luck. Also something's off with my timing, it took way too long for the rice to absorb the stock and became almost too creamy if that's possible. Definitely some room for improvement. Oh well, better luck next time?
For desert I was just craving chocolate (like all women do) so I looked up a chocolate cookie recipe and this is what I got. There was only one egg left in the fridge and none of the cookie recipes needed only one egg so I halved the ingredients and alas I only have half a batch of cookies. If you notice they're chocolate and cinnamon like the Valentine's cookies. Seriously, best kept secret pairing for chocolate. (Added bonus when you give them out to friends, you look like an experienced baker because you don't just make chocolate cookies you make cinnamon chocolate cookies)
