I did actually get that camera for my birthday. However, it's being a bit of a brat and I can't seem to make it stop using the flash when I take a picture, so everything is coming out beyond bright and it just isn't really working for me. I'll definitely have to get that figured out soon (especially since my friend and I are going to the Zoo on Monday and I definitely want the camera for then! EEEeee, zoo!)
Today I realized I had quite a few eggs left that needed to get used up, and I honestly didn't feel like making an omelette or scrambled eggs, or hunting for a frittata recipe, etc etc. So I made vanilla pudding. I looked through a handful of recipes, most of which contained the same ingredients, and I settled on the one from my Better Home and Garden's Cookbook. I'm not sure if I had the heat too high or whether using lactaid milk (I know, don't cringe, it's delicious and has worked well in anything else I've cooked. Sean is lactose intolerant!) or what, but the bottom cooked a little bit so it had some brown bits, but I ran the pudding through a sieve in the end and it all worked out. I'll probably make it again so I'll post it then.
I also am trying to make deviled eggs for the first time. First time hard boiling eggs, too. I hope I managed them without getting THE DREADED RING AROUND THE YOLK. *dramatic thunder clap* I'm just going with a basic recipe, mustard, little bit of mayo, but I'm going to try adding some relish or chopped pickles and maybe a little hot sauce! Woo!
edit: Well, I messed with the flavors in the eggs for awhile but in the end it still wound up tasting like.. creamy yolkiness. I didn't want to go overboard so I left it alone. But oh man, the chopped dill pickles in it. THAT is good. Adds a nice little crunch and saltiness in every bite. I love it. I hope Sean likes them!
