Custard is probably 1the most simple pudding you can make and is one of the most popular sweet sauces in the UK. It’s a yellow mixture of milk, sugar and eggs which you can eat 4cold or 5 hot, on its own or with a pie. Custard is quicker to make than most other desserts and is definitely 7 the easiest of all, especially when you use the ready-made custard powder. Of course, it’s 8 better to use fresh ingredients – the sauce is then much 9 tastier. Frankly, vanilla custard is 10 the best food I’ve ever eaten in Britain.
I have always loved LOVED my birthday. In fact, I am a fan of the “Birthday Month”- why limit the special treatment to just a day? The best part about my birthday is that everyone has to do Whatever I Say Because It’s My Birthday. Shockingly, my husband isn’t as big of a fan of my birthday as I am.
Growing up, I had the most fabulous birthday parties. One year, my parents turned our living and dining rooms into a casino. I had a costume party one year (I was a hula girl… a hula girl with a sweat shirt and sweat pants… hey, it’s cold in St. Louis in mid October!). Another year, we went bowling (even with the bumpers I am terrible!).
