Peach Passionfruit is where it is at for sure

Does anyone have any suggestions for great local Hot Cross Buns? In the valley - check out "A Bread Affair" in Langley. They are perfect, exactly as they should be - the food of my youth.

No problem. Adapted from a Donna Hay recipe, but there is really nothing to it except stirring. 1 cup Arboria rice 2 tbs butter 3.5-4 cups milk Vanilla to taste Semisweet chocolate Heat milk and vanilla to taste and keep at simmer. Brown arborio rice in butter until rice is clear. I like to brown slightly to get some nuttiness, so 2-3 minutes. Add simmering milk half cup at a time, stirring as often as your patience allows. When rice reaches desired doneness, stir in a handful or two of your favorite chopped semisweet chocolate to desire taste and sweetness. You could also shave some chocolate on top for presentation. In my opinion, the best thing about this recipe is the absence of eggs to avoid the gumminess that Canucklehead alluded to. ← Thanks for sharing, I will try it out this week.

I can completely sympathize. Never met a rice pudding I liked. However, I might have been converted via the chocolate risotto I made last night. Think of a warm version of a Crunky bar (the better half of Nestle Crunch). Pretty darn tasty, if I might say so. ← Could you please share that recipe via pm - I am desperate for a chocolate risotto fix. Thanks.

Langley's coffee bar is Ethical Addiction - Ethical Bean is the company that roasts the whole beans and provides them to fine coffee bars and retailers all over the province. Not as good as Kicking Horse Coffee but - Fair Trade & Organic - great none the less...
