Tried a new recipe recently. The Boston Globe Sunday Magazine had a feature a few weeks ago on Sweet Endings: panna cotta, rice pudding, etc. We had some heavy cream and whole milk left over from Chris's birthday, and there was just enough to make Indian pudding. It met my two major criteria for trying out a new recipe-- I liked all of the ingredients, and it sounded like a good combination: cornmeal, a little maple syrup, a little brown sugar, some dried cranberries and golden raisins, eggs, cream, and spices. I didn't realize until too late that it had to bake for 2 hours (slightly longer than I was expecting), but it was delicious and it made the whole house smell great. Presentation-wise, it's not much to look at (sort of like a nondescript, dark brown bread pudding), but mighty tasty (if I may say so myself).
