I shall be on my way to my covid vaccine/flu shot appointment in a bit.....I hope I don't feel sick the rest of the day the way I did last year......but I wouldn't be surprised.

No-side-effects vibes for Jrand!

Congrats, John G, on your new millstone!

Also, the garden photos last night were beautiful!

TOD: 

Bread pudding still seems to be around, on several menus I've seen. 

[John G.]

Good morning, all.

[John G.]

Dreams were odd. They had to do with overseeing the cutting down of a tree and processing it into wood.

Cue the song Wood from The New Yorkers, I guess.

[John G.]

When I first dealt with the removal of a kidney tumor, I had chocolate pudding in the hospital that was so artificial and disgusting I couldn’t get the flavor out of my mouth or mind.

[John G.]

When I got home I made my own chocolate pudding to make up for it. It was worse.

[John G.]

The second time I had a tumor removed, I ordered both the chocolate and the vanilla. The chocolate was still vomit-on-the-ground disgusting, but the vanilla was surprisingly good.

[John G.]

I’m not a big fan of figgy pudding, so don’t bring any right here. A friend’s sister ised to make it a Christmas because her husband liked to be the one who lit it on fire.

I found it not worth the trouble. Apparently the sister agreed. After the husband’s death, she stopped making it.

[John G.]

I do like sticky toffee pudding.

[John G.]

And I make a mean donut bread pudding with dried cherries, nuts and chocolate in it, plus a hard sauce.

[John G.]

Every culture makes rice pudding differently, I have found. I like Mexican and Indian versions more than some from the Mediterranean or the Middle East.

[John G.]

And I think that’s all the pudding posts I will make.

[John G.]

Until I remember something else.

Great article, DR elmore! Thanks for sharing it.

[MichaelG]

Thanks for the concert vibes. Yesterday's show went great. We had a singer friend in the audience who really enjoyed it. Hopefully there will be YouTube videos available at some point.

[MichaelG]

Tonight I start rehearsals with a different chorus for one of my bucket list pieces to sing, Howard Hanson's Symphony No. 7. I attended the premiere at Interlochen that BK reissued back in Bay Cities days. Copland's Canticle of Freedom is also on the program, which was written for the dedication of our college's auditorium.

TOD: I'm not a huge pudding / custard / flan type of guy, but yes to puddings in the English sense of steamed desserts like sticky toffee pudding and bread pudding.

[MichaelG]

One night on a business trip to New Orleans we watched some bread puddings go to a neighboring table. One of the people there saw us ogling the desserts and said "I've had two!" Well, that was good enough for us, so we ordered and it was indeed phenomenal. I haven't had one as good since, but that doesn't keep me from trying.

What the heck is "Teal Talk," and why does it get its own day?

~~~Don't Feel Sick Vibes for Jrand!!~~~

My mom always made pudding.....I liked to watch her make it.

Sometimes it burned....ugh.

Butterscotch was my favorite.....she also sometimes made a pudding pie....but that was usually chocolate.

I've made cooked pudding, but from a box (mostly Jell-O brand), but I don't think I've ever made pudding from an actual recipe.

[George]

It does sound really good...except for the burned part.

I do love me some bread pudding!

[George]

I love most puddings that I've had, except rice pudding (I don't like the texture; give me tapioca any day!) and instant vanilla of any brand.

[George]

I've never had an instant vanilla that was worth the calories.  Cooked vanilla can be pretty good, but just not instant.
