Rice pudding! Rice pudding! Rice pudding!!!

Rice puding just makes me happy...and last night I tried out a recipie for it that made me a very very happy girl. Yeeeees, it takes very little to make me a total spazz. But it helped me get through the day yesterday: "When I get outta here, I'm gonna make rice pudding with raisins and basmati rice and the whole house will smell like rice and hot milk and vanilla and cardamom..." And it did...

I love it when I cook something good and it fills my apartment with the delicious smelliness. I'm a little afraid Ben and Peaty will thump a ladder on the side of the house and bang on my windows, demanding some of the goods. (Peaty already knows when I make curry. Dang that Northwestern wind...)
I think tonight I'll be in horrible peril...I'm planning to make cupcakes again...

Aw crap, and I posted that. Now all of you will be ringing the doorbell with little cardboard signs saying, "Starving for Cupcakes, Please Help". I'll turn off the lights and pretend I'm not home:P
