What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.

Custard is dead simple: get a glazed ovenproof dish place inside another filled with hot water (bain-marie), warm in the oven (140-150c) Heat 1 pint of milk to just below boiling point. Beat 2 eggs with sweetener (I use Xylitol instead of sugar), add vanilla if like. Pour on the milk, stir and pour into warmed dish in the oven. I add sprigs of lemon balm or grate nutmeg on top. Bake for 45mins - 1 hour until set. This gives a firm custard (like creme brulee), I tend to use 1 large egg to get a lighter consistency.

I friend stopped to ask the way to someplace and the local pointed and said "Turn right at the robot". That turned out to be traffic lights. Couldn't wait to return back south.
