Two things made me well up with joy this weekend. Seriously. One of the Things happened on Saturday, and one of them happened Sunday. I will tell you about the Sunday Thing very briefly. Best Carnitas Ever. If you're in the Triangle area of NC, you really need to check out Las Margaritas on Timber Dr (now sadly defunct. :( ). On to the Saturday Thing. About three weeks ago, the Welcome Wagon lady came to see us. It's not called Welcome Wagon anymore, but still, she did have a wagon. So there ... continue reading...
My Very Own Mixing Method: Dead Easy PMAT Method
I think I may have discovered a new and easy mixing method, friends. As Spelled Out in the title up there, I'm calling it Dead Easy PMAT Method. You could call it DEPMAT, I guess, although that sounds kind of like some Governmental Agency that is headquartered Deep Underground in Nevada.

A Techniques Primer: Custards and Puddings

She also said (tongue in cheek, I hope) that she was afraid that I would tap my foot disapprovingly and ask her why she hadn't been paying attention all along. Well, fear not, Pam.
