Ummm... gross.

Last night I attempted to make Creamy Rice with Roasted Shrimp. Things did not go so well.

Please note that is not creamy rice. I followed the instructions and had the correct type of rice but I must have done something horribly wrong. The rice looked ok but when I tasted it... not so ok. It was a pile of mushy, sticky goo. Compton and I took one bite and started looking for a new side item. Enter the parmesan pasta. The shrimp, tomato, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper and olive oil mixture was quite tasty though.

Compton and I both give the shrimp and tomato mixture 4 stars. We both agree that the tomatoes were a bit over done but the flavoring was great.

Side note: I also made the Chicken Posole but it was so disgusting I didn't even take a picture. I apparently hate hominy.

I was so over cooking that tonight we just had a frozen pizza and a side salad. I think I'll try to do a couple of the recipes a week and go with the flow the rest of the days. This was actually Compton's suggestion so I could give myself a break every now and then. I think it was more like he wanted a break from my random concoctions! ;-)
