Marion's Miscellaneous Musings

adventures in cooking

Last night I tried to make butterscotch pudding. The recipe is in the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. I forgot and added white sugar instead of brown sugar, so I was forced to make vanilla instead (I added 1 teaspoon each vanilla and almond flavoring). This recipe is very rich and is better warm. Mine always turns out grainy (not to mention having pieces of cooked egg white in it), so I poked around on the net to look for tips on how to avoid this. I got completely side tracked by this site:

mostly by this particular page, which should appeal to the scientific among us:

I still don't know what my pudding is grainy, or how to get the last of the egg white away from the egg yolk.


And then tonight I needed a new chicken recipe, and found this:

absolutely wonderful. We used to rate recipes on a 1-10 scale, with a side notation of "abc", which means approved by C., the original picky eater. Now the rating system is make it: once a week, once a month, once a year and never again. This one is a once every two weeks rating.

And abc.
