1500th

i've finally managed to sleep all the sleep i want, waking up at 12pm. today i'm not bogged down with things (that have) to be done; i can do what i want to do. think i'll make a vanilla pudding for tea.

a little stoveside pottering, and half an hour later it's done!
the recipe called for two eggs and two yolks, but i added in another two yolks, just to make it even richer. and i used heavy cream instead of light cream.
tempering the egg mixture and adding it back into the hot cream/milk. then whisk the custard vigorously as it cooks and thickens.
vanilla (essence) pudding. covered with clingfilm to prevent a skin from forming. somehow, after licking off - with a spoon - the pan, i felt this custard would do good baked in a tart shell; a vanillary egg tart!
