Custard is a harsh mistress

[NoJo]

Oh yuk! It has lumps in it, too?

Lumps, and cold greasy sausages. I need Jamie Oliver to come an spice up my sex life.

After all of my tender minstrations, the cheating bitch came waltzing home tasting of cornstarch. Oh, she tried to blame me - I whipped her too hard, I didn't get her hot enough - but I know it now. She just likes being tricky.

For those who, like me, have had enough of the heartache:

2 cups plain yogurt
1/8 teaspoon saffron
Seeds of three cardamom pods, crushed
2 tablespoons good honey
Zest of one small lemon

I mixed it up in her bowl. And I licked it out when I was done. It ran dripping off my fingers, and I laughed at the evil departed one.

But I know that I will go back to her. *sigh*

NOW we're talking!

Edit to add: I agree with Yui on the first paragraph. Though the scampled eggs made me smile

Sorry its a late reply but - it ain't get no lumps and really scrambled eggs and smoked salmon is just ... well ... the best!

Ok, I'll have to remember what you said here, for future reference. My libido just dropped to zero, for the first time in months.

Quick, I need porn!!!

DAMN !!!!!

I missed his new series this evening, trying to revitalise school dinners.

Bugger, bugger, bugger.

Now I'm just going to sulk.

And I was so into this thread up until there.

Vicarious virtual calories for a coerced dieter. *sigh*. Baked custard. Fresh grated nutmeg. *double sigh*.....creme brulee......*drool*.......

Yea what was that stuff they used to give us for pudding the looked like a bowl of spunk with tadpoles in it Lou? Tasted a bit like it as well, but I didn't realise this until a bit later in life

Baked custard really isn't bad on a diet if you make it with skimmed milk. I used to have it for breakfast.

Hopefully it was tapioca. But I don't know what school you went to.

Tapioca (I think that's how it's spelt!). Blurgh!

LOL! Yeah, the taste thing, you have a point there. But, when it's served as dessert, with a speck of jam in the middle, it doesn't quite have the same effect.

It was a good one Joe, must have been it was approved.

ROFL That's not custard, that's a Ford model. I suggest getting FOOD AND DRINK magazine or I will send you it.

Oh I don't know, maybe it does love

 

[pop_54]

Tapioca?

Unless the chef had his own special thickening agent.

I always worried about him, and he never washed his hands afterwards.

 

[NoJo]

You probably should have guessed, when he kept saying "I'm fucking dis custard"

 

[shereads]

Play your cards right and with a little luck she might be transformed into, flan. And that's a very good thing.

Rumple foreskin

Good flan is, as you say, a very good thing. Creamy, almost-but-not-quite too rich, deriving most of its sweetness from the caramelized syrup. I'd like some right now, but the best to be had unless you have a Cuban grandmother you can order to make some right now, is at a market that will be closed in five minutes.

Mediocre flan is not even a poor substitute for good flan. It's just terrible.

Unlike sex, there is no "even if it's bad, it's good," in Flan World. Same with fresh strawberries; they're either perfect little bursts of bliss, or disappointing. There is no middle ground.

Dammit. I want some flan or custard now.

Heavens, yes. I could eat Godiva all day long and well and joyously into the night.

I'm quite fond of chocolate as well.

Sher, everyone who has it says my flan is the best they've ever had. It's so easy to make, got the recipe from an old Filipino lady. It's total cholesterol though. P.
