week&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Cooking Eorzea\u00a0<\/em>dish: I didn&#8217;t care for it. It wasn&#8217;t because the dish was bad &#8211; far from it &#8211; it was more the texture. It reminded me of thick porridge, and the parsnips and onions gave it a bit of a soft crunch on top of that. I didn&#8217;t care for how it felt in my mouth, to be honest. Additionally, I wish it was a lot cheesier than what it was!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Afterword<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If I was to make this dish again, I would want to make it with a lot more cheese. I would probably also try to mince the parsnips up even more, as the soft crunch got distracting after a short bit. I would probably try to add in even more salt and pepper than I did to see if it enhances the flavor further. I just don&#8217;t know if I could get past the texture of the arborio rice when mixed in the other ingredients!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Alright, it&#8217;s time to run through the list of people that I want to thank for making this week&#8217;s column possible! First, I want to thank <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PixelatedVicka\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Victoria Rosenthal<\/a>\u00a0for writing\u00a0<em>The Ultimate FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Cookbook<\/em>. I also want to thank the staff over at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/insighteditions.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Insight Editions<\/a> for giving me permission to use the photos from their book to show how these recipes are actually supposed to look- including this week&#8217;s one for Cheese Risotto. Furthermore, I owe Brandon Rose a special thanks for creating the logo for this series on short notice. You should check him and his works out over on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_theblindarcher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">X<\/a>&#8211; and you really should look at them!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finally, I want to thank both Hiromichi Tanaka and Naoki Yoshida for producing\u00a0<em>FINAL FANTASY XIV Online\u00a0<\/em>in both iterations of the game. Even though we are far and away into\u00a0<em>Dawntrail\u00a0<\/em>at the moment, it took the efforts of both to create Eorzea as it stands today.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Next Time, In November<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Imam Bayildi is the next Side dish that I will be making in\u00a0<em>Cooking Eorzea<\/em>!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I have never actually baked eggplants before, and so I am excited to work with it.
