A couple weeks ago we made a trip up north to Temecula to look at some couches (that's a whole other story) and we stopped in Old Town to look at the shops. Sean found a store that sold international foods and bought a few treats from England/Australia. Skip to the present. Melissa wanted some pudding tonight so Sean offered to make Bird's custard (kinda like pudding). The stuff he bought was instant, just add boiling water and mix. Thinking he could simplify the mixing process, Sean poured the powder and boiling water into one of those plastic salad dressing shakers, despite the counsel of his wife...that's where his innovation ended. The steam expanded, blowing the lid off the container and sending half mixed custard and boiling water everywhere!!! On the microwave, over the counter, and down the side of the stove to name a few places. While Melissa attempted to salvage what was left, Sean rearranged the kitchen to clean up the now thickening goo. In the frenzy of the moment we forgot to get pictures of the disaster. The end result was runny yellow stuff and a cleaner kitchen. Listening to the wife might pay off in the future, but it's doubtful he learned his lesson...
And, just for the record... She still wants pudding!!

Dang! You posted a lot of new stuff! The custard thing is really funny! Baseball games are fun and cheap!!! The fries actually look pretty good! I like your backpack-where and when did you get it! Talk to ya later!
Birds puddding, the best. Will have to pass the story on to Jo and Jay since they were our suppliers for the wonderful stuff at one time. Will have to get you the long cooking kind when you are home for Christmas. Not such a smart idea. You should have remembered some basic chemistry about heat, steam and expansion. Next time listen you your wonderful wife. Going camping over the 4th at Valley of the Rogue. Enjoying smoky, hazy days at the moment thanks to fires in CA. All the posts are great. Love ya MUM
