[CnD] Chocolate pudding variant

2015-03-02 Thread Kathy Brandt via Cookinginthedark

... using an egg, like how I do.  I typically liked the cooked pudding better 
than instant, but the homemade instant mix might not taste as processed.

CHOCOLATE PUDDING
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup cocoa
3 Tbsps. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. salt
2-1/4 cups milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 egg (optional; see note)
In a 1-1/2 quart saucepan, combine the first 4 ingredients.  Gradually stir
in the milk.  Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture
comes to a boil.  Boil for 1 minute.  Add vanilla.  Spoon into individual
glasses and chill.  Serve cold.
NOTE:  If using egg, beat egg in a separate bowl with a fork.  Add 1
spoonful of hot pudding at a time to the egg, beating constantly with the
fork until the egg mixture is quite warm.  Beat this mixture quickly back
into the pudding.

 Hi, Debbie,
 The heavy cream in the recipe, is there to help thicken the sauce. Because 
 milk has less fat content, you probably can use it but won't get the same 
 results as if you used the heavy cream.
 Experiment and see what you think.
 Happy Cooking,
 Alice

A good turkey and cheese sandwich: If you've got a George Formann grill, 
rill the turkey.  Butter the bottom of a piece of bread, put a slice of 
turkey, a slice of Swiss cheese, and then another slice of turkey on the 
top.  Put another piece of buttered bread, buttered side facing up onto the 
sandwich and grill it for maybe 3 to 4 minutes.

Roll-ups:
Take any deli meat you like. Place it on corn or flour tortilla of your choice. 
Place a slice of cheese or some grated cheese on top of it. Add salsa, hot 
sauce, mustard, ketchup, barbecue sauce, or guacamole  according to your 
preference. (Hint: you don't need much or it will be messy.) Roll up tightly 
like a taquito or flauta. Use butter or margarine to coat the wrap. You can 
grill on a Forman grill about 3 minutes till crispy or place in the oven or 
toaster oven on a baking sheet for about 10-12 minutes or until crisp. You can 
heat through in the microwave for about 30 seconds for each couple roll-ups, 
but I don't like them that way because they do not get crisp. (Hint: in the 
oven you may want to hold them closed with a toothpick. Not necessary on double 
sided grill.) You can freeze extra and zap them in the microwave to warm them 
up if you like, but I never have leftovers.

[CnD] I know nothing about this, so excuse the dumbness

2015-03-02 Thread Charles Rivard via Cookinginthedark
As I understand it, you can buy a box of pudding mix that you simply mix 
with milk, whisk or stir, and let firm up in the fridge.  No heating 
necessary.


Questions:  How much do they make?  How long before they can be eaten?  Are 
they about the same in quality?  If not, what are the best brands?


Now for the last question, and why I'm asking about this:  I apparently got 
ahold of some bad sour kraut, and it returned the favor with a case of food 
poisoning.  I'm on the road to recovery.  Along that road to recovery, I 
decided to get something easily digestible, and pudding works.  Being a real 
chockoholic, of course, I chose chocolate pudding.  Now, after not having 
eaten any in several years, I'm hooked, and got an idea.  If I mix chocolate 
pudding with chocolate milk instead of white, will it intensify the 
chocolate flavor?


Thoughts and advice are appreciated quickly, because I will be going to the 
store on Wednesday.  Thanks.

We usually get the Jell-O brand mixes, so I have no way to compare to others. 
They come in boxes that have a bag of powder inside, and each box can make a 
smaller or larger amount. If memory serves, the smaller box gets mixed with two 
cups of milk (we use `%, but that won't matter, though whole might make it even 
better) and the larger box is mixed with three cups. You stir until the lumps 
are gone and the mixture is very thick, then fridge it. The directions say to 
wait five minutes, but waiting a few hours is, in my experience, going to give 
you a much better pudding.
