Cousin Matthew Returns with the Robbing Butcher

[TheMustressMhor]

A thread intended for menus, cats and idle chit-chat.

Cinders you are being bombarded with questions which can be a bit daunting, but I think once you put more information out you'll find people want to help. You'll probably find people are a bit too helpful if anything, they are a resourceful crowd!

Drip feeding yes please, custard in one arm and champagne in the other. Thank you.

Not liking homemade custard < horror > . I must have misread it! < looking for reading glasses >.

Cinder, so sorry that you have problems with your DS. I haven’t seen your thread, but it is awful when you worry about children. I read somewhere that you only are as happy as your unhappiest child... I think that is true

CleansUpDragonPoo you have the right idea!

the ONLY place custard is acceptable is in trifle.

Just caught up with the thread, now I want custard and rice pudding.

I can’t have any as I’m eating 16:8 and only allowed food 9am to 5pm.

Oh dear @yolofish, not even spooned room temperature straight out the Devon Ambrosia tin? Solid custard sprinkled with cinnamon on a flaky pastry base? Frozen custard on a stick dipped into dark chocolate? Served piping hot over stewed stolen from neighbour's garden windfall apples?

Sorry for you, @7Worfs, about the custard anyway. But rice pudding? No no no.

Oh, I love my own home-made creamed rice pudding.

I think i may of missed it as i got excited and wanted to post 😂

People make their own custard? And theres a pink kind?

Can an absolute disaster in the kitchen (me) make it?

@OVienna i realised i miss your response earlier! So cold feet is a sad watch?

Don’t forget the sprinkle cinnamon on it, it’s the law.

Back for custard small talk
After hiding ds thread
I did report it
And was told to hide it
Or change my name

Have been on and off mumsnet for years
Am a bit miffed now

Anyway custard and apple crumble is the best thing
And only muller rice pudding here
And no clotted cream or double cream
Just whipping cream

They don't sell double cream?

Cinders, so sorry to hear that. It must be incredibly painful to post something personal and have people attack you.

It is very nice and friendly here!

Just make a plain white sauce (without salt and pepper, obviously), sweeten it, and add food colouring.

That is how to make pink custard. Or blue custard. Or green custard.

Hmmm not sure about this. But the rest of Mustress's recipes sound wonderful so perhaps it should be given a go? What's wrong with a tin of Devon Ambrosia and a bottle of cochineal for pink custard?

Cinders, you're so right about custard with apple crumble, save the clotted cream for fluffy home made buttermilk scones with homemade raspberry jam!

DragonPoo How would you make pink custard, out of interest?

Ordinary custard powder is just cornflour with vanilla flavouring.

I wandered on to Thread 15 and have posted a couple of times.

I haven't posted on those threads for days.

I felt very, very brave.

How do you make rice pudding?

If you don't include a tin of evaporated milk, is it even rice pudding?

Never really thought about what's in custard powder, TBH! I made a pink trifle for a five year old's birthday, and put several drops of cochineal into a tin of Devon Ambrosia custard until it turned the right shade of pink - pink food colouring's no good as too light against the yellow custard. Put a bit less in the whipped cream to get a nice lighter contrast for the top, and finished off with pink glitter sprinkles. Birthday girl was very happy, as were the parents as they got to drink the sherry.

...and I have abandoned Thread 15 again.

I had forgotten how miserable it made me feel.

Me too, Mustress What was I thinking? Life is too short...

I have hidden it.

Unbelievable that just posting on it for half an hour desperately lowered my mood.

DragonPoo

If you look at a tin of custard powder it states the ingredients.
