Comments on: SHF #12: A Custard for all Seasons http://www.belly-timber.com/2005/09/16/shf-12-a-custard-for-all-seasons/ Playing with our food since 2005 Fri, 20 Mar 2009 08:49:26 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: mrs D http://www.belly-timber.com/2005/09/16/shf-12-a-custard-for-all-seasons/comment-page-1/#comment-319 mrs D Tue, 20 Sep 2005 13:09:02 +0000 http://belly-timber.com/?p=43#comment-319 Thanks for the commments, everyone! Soycap: Indeed the brandy did! What I didn't mention is that we <i>attempted</i> to do the whole flambe thing and take pictures of a burning serving of custard, but the blue flames didn't show up on camera and we used an entire additional airplane bottle of brandy in the effort. Then we had to eat it all. Oh darn. Ana, yeah, that's what happens when it's a popular weekend special: big honkin' heaps o' custard! Nic: probably not a good custard at all. Props people rarely ever make stage food that tastes good... Lori & Jennifer: I am happy to report that this bread pudding was good enough to cure me of my trauma. I am no longer living in fear of falling custard. Now I just have to wait for the next bad culinary-related theater memory to rear its ugly head! Thanks for the commments, everyone!

Ana, yeah, that’s what happens when it’s a popular weekend special: big honkin’ heaps o’ custard!

Nic: probably not a good custard at all. Props people rarely ever make stage food that tastes good…

He loves custard (sorry) and bread...well, he's a bread feind. I might be adding this to the "I'll make this for you if you're nice to me" list. And make it in the same proportions that you have listed. He'd better be VERY nice. Thanks so much for joining in on SHF - even though it could have been horribly traumatic for you!

It made me laugh. It's great you were able to join this month's SHF in spite of your trauma. I enjoyed reading through that story. It made me laugh.

Of course, if it had been Christopher Durang (or his works) that traumatised you, I could see that as well. =) Hopefully it wasn't a good custard that gave its life for the theater.

I am sorry that custard brings back such haunting memories. But I am sure the Brandy (and the bread...?) fixed that up alright :) lovely write-up!

Kevin: Since when is the booze NOT an important thing?? heh!

But is my math right? If an 18x34 pan serves 18, one serving is 34 sq. inches (of whatever thickness). Can that be right? Well, it could be right, technically at least, but can you walk afterwards?
