Kira: Thoughts on Week 3 and 4

I’m not so great at keeping things on time, but here’s some more pictures of food that I’ve made.

The pan and the cake are that raspberry pudding cake that was on my assigned blogger’s site. The blog I’ve been paired up with is Good Food, Good Wine and a Bad Girl. You can check her recipe here!

It was super tasty. Not too chocolaty and the raspberry was the perfect addition. This was gone in the matter of a couple days. It kept well in the fridge and tasted just fine re-heated.

I also made pancakes! They were vegan ones though, not Peter’s recipe. They have soy milk and no eggs. I added in some strawberries and the rest of the raspberries from the pudding cake.

The pancakes themselves were awesome and tasted like pancakes but, weirdly enough, they smelt like cooked corn on the cob. Tasted nothing like it, but I couldn’t get over how weird that was.

Finally, I tried that Steam Whistle risotto recipe, but didn’t take any pictures because it didn’t LOOK too tasty. Without the saffron, it was kind of a murky gray colour. I either used the wrong kind of rice or the rice was bad because I cooked it for a very long time and it was the right consistency but the rice came out crunchy. Hmmmm…In any case, the butter/cheese/chicken broth covered everything up and it was fairly tasty. My roommate liked it.

And that’s what I did thes last two weeks. Nummy.
