Haruki's Historically Hilarious Honey-covered Random Banter #94

I THINK you had to refrigerate the pastry for 1/2-1 hour, and yeah, I think once the custard was cooked and the whole thing baked it had to be refrigerated again for another 1-2 hours before being grilled. It still took a good 2 or more hours than it should have...

[St.Sinner]

Yay! I donated my 20,000th grain of rice on Free Rice today. That's my good deed done for the year.

[Alarra]

I have an awesome recipe for a créme brulée tart. 'course, the first time I made it it took me about 6 hours all up... but still! Awesome!

Creme brulee is a pudding. *requests recipe* mmmm....

Hmm....troll manor is okay....

I still think I prefer grandpa and grandma's house. It sounds all warm and like we have cookies. Whatdya know! I do! *eats cookie*

...Pudding? Man, you Yanks must have some seriously messed-up desserts...

I think I may have posted that recipe before. If not, remind me in a week, and I'll send it to you (or better yet, start a (stickyable?) recipe thread. SISQUI!).

[Lady Tialait]

Who said pudding? I keel for pudding....*holds up sign it reads 'Will dance for pudding'* Gimme gimme gimme *dances about* and none of that silly bread pudding or rice pudding....I want that stuff that you can squish between your teeth and not get a raisan stuck in there....

[Alarra]

...Pudding? Man, you Yanks must have some seriously messed-up desserts...

How do you mean? creme brulee is a custard.....custard is a type of pudding....*looks confused*

[unstattedCommoner]

Yes, it's a pudding.

[Serpentine]

But... pudding is a squidgy cakey thing. Brulee and custards are... custards...

'course, it doesn't help that it seems that most of the time when US of Americans talk about "pudding", they're apparently talking about Yogo-style flavoured yoghurt things.

edit: also, it's nearly midnight, and I'm sweating.

edit: On puddings (this was the most straight-forward):
Like custards, thick, creamy mixtures of milk, sugar, and flavorings. Custards are thickened with eggs, puddings with cornstarch or flour.

Gonna have to go for the gold star then. Alarra reads this thread.

Actually, that would be kinda funny.

Lying on my left side like a Roman at a banquet, o play me a song, I'm a banquet man, but with a tubular skirt such as was rarely in fashion for Romans male or female--a slow twitch of the fabric just above the knee, in a room where the door and windows are shut, not a breath of wind to stir the fabric--the printed polyester, supple as the skin atop a quiet stream and equally green, flickers in time with my pulse. Hypnotic. Who expected delicacy from a $7 clearance sale skirt?

[Lady Tialait]

...my stupid brother called me...he wants to know if i know a guy for him...now i feel bad.....I don't know anyone but my gaming buddies and my husband....how sad am i??

Of course you had to post this, and I had to read it with someone over my shoulder who will now never talk to me again.
.....Actualy, I didn't like them anyway.

Same here.
What you silly Americans think of as pudding is, well, in that picture it's a chocolate mousse.
Pudding is a pudding.
And the sweet course after the main meal is called dessert. You'd find it easier to say dessert because whenever I think of Alarra as being the Pudding Goddess I think of cakes and puddings like that.
Not mousses and custards and the like.

Interesting. At first, I thought Pudding was the literal translation for Spanish "Budín":

Then I remember that some people think of Pudding as Mousse, and some think of it more of a...... whatever you call that other thing.

Is that what they think pudding is?
I've been wondering about that for so long.

Also, turns out my English teacher has been stealing ideas from us, is now threatening to go get some of my poems published under his name, and wrote the beginning of a short story, led us to believe it was an actual published piece, got us to guess what is going to happen, and then went out and wrote it in pieces, all the time getting us to write it without us knowing.
I now no longer trust him, and will thus not give him any more work to mark, and am going to attempt to requisition my work back.

And plagiarism and theft of work is a criminal offence. If any of you have dated proof that it's all your work then I suggest you:
1) Go to the head of your college. All of you.
2) As a last resort go to the police. Or something. I'm certain that what he's doing is an offence; but where you go I don't know. When in doubt nip down to the Bobby Shop.

you can walk on custard...

mmmm custard.

[Trog]

But... pudding is a squidgy cakey thing.

Ahh..I can see it now.

"You enter a 10x10 room and dropping menacingly from the ceiling is an amorphous blob which schlorps forward, its unknowable senses seeking you out er... a squidgy cakey thing.

[Arameus]

Hmmm.... I'd be careful about what you say on this subject. You can insult an American's flag, his parents, his job, his truck, his dog, and his clothes without incident, but WE WILL KILL OVER PUDDING. Just saying: tread lightly.

I do want to grab my work though, simply because he's got a lot of my hard copies for some reason, and I kinda need to have them.

Sweet! Snow day! Anyone else get a massive amount of snow last night?

Now my day consists of Homework, reading Y The last Man, and Crysis... which isn't much of a change from a regular wednesday except it would have added Class into the mix.

So did I... And you live in "Brew City"... Hmm...

*Is suspicious we live close to each other*

[Lady Tialait]

that spundgy cake stuff...is also pudding in the US...but we add a 'Bread' at the first of it. ...I HATE Bread pudding....

in other news. I am getting a new computer in about two weeks. so...no more spelling errors out of me.

[Arameus]

Yes, I, too, have suffered under the burden of bread pudding that you HAVE to eat because you made her order it for you.

What's more, it was my birthday dinner. Come to think of it, the entire meal was pretty terrible. Man, if you waste your birthday dinner, that's like wasting a year of your life!
