Meme time. It's the cooking thing I mentioned a couple of days ago. I tell you to make something and if you've already made it, you get to tell me something to make back. If that's the case, hit me with a comment. (Suggestions can ping-pong until we run into something that hasn't been done. The whole point here is to try something new.) Of course, report back (on your LJ or whatever) with how it went and what (if anything) you learned about the process. A couple of other riders -- don't pick stuff with difficult, expensive, or arcane ingredients or techniques. I am not going to expect anyone to have a piping kit (like for making frosting decorations) or green cardamom pods or white truffles. That's not fair. Also, please do not suggest that I make things that hinge upon fish or aquatic (lobster, clams, oysters, shrimp, shark, octopus, etc.) beasties as I don't eat them.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make cornstarch pudding from scratch. Jell-O or other box pudding does not count. You can make vanilla or chocolate or butterscotch or whatever flavor you can find directions for, but the whole thing here is that there will be a recipe and ingredients. There will not be a prepackaged mix.

If the NYT didn't keep running stupid articles like this and the WaPo didn't also write crap like this, I wouldn't feel so moved to get people to actually try stuff in the kitchen.

Ivy never cleans her own pots and pans, and therefore is disallowed from entering this constest. Not valid in Alaska, Hawaii, or Guam. Package may have settled in shipment. Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.

I hate to have to point this out, but I am not the person that you need to tell about being allowed or not being allowed.

Out of cheese error. Humor failed to initialize. Redo from start.

There's not any more pots and pans from this than from a cake.

Really!
