While cleaning up from the butterscotch pudding session was pretty fantastic...

...it definitely can't match cleaning up from the CHOCOLATE pudding session.

And *this* time, the dogs can't help!

Such tragedy.

Gonna be fun to look in the mirror when everything is reflectively clean, though. The New Best Recipe can be a *messy* influence!



When I made the butterscotch pudding, it tasted fantastic, but the texture wasn't as creamy as I would have liked. It was slightly lumpy and grainy. I did strained the final result before noticing this, but I used a much coarser screen than for the chocolate, the corn starch was at least 5 years old, *and* I didn't pre-sift all the ingredients. The chocolate pudding, on the other hand, was fully pre- and post-strained, and seems smooth as silk (or other things) as it goes into the refrigerator. Having successfully ingested nearly all the leftovers, I'm already pretty wired, and there's *no* *fucking* *way* I'm going to wait until tomorrow to sample the results after the 3-hour minimum fridge set time.

I may need drugs to sleep tonight.

I vote that we readers get more icon pictures of you licking things.

Well!

Too bad I'm out of both pomegranate seeds and LJ icons.

I concur. Also, I felt a bit mislead after realizing that what you meant by "session" was, in fact, the cooking itself. :) A great title nonetheless ...

While I certainly didn't mean it that way, I realized after I posted it how it could be interpreted. :)

Cooking has been *that* exciting yet. Mostly a solo affair.

But for you...

...I'll see what I can do.

Ok, I wasn't gonna say anything, but I can't help myself. So, here goes...

When did you take up fencing and why are you licking mud off of your opponents face mask?

When my opponents...

...were hot and covered with butterscotch pudding!
