old habits die hard
one of our new habits was once an old habit
and it died hard, let me tell ya
it is lounging in bed in the morning
only getting up to pee, poo, or open the PetCafe for Juanita
when it was an old habit it was sitting in bed with coffee and a joint
then the move to Vermont and the years of early rising in the bitter cold
to walk the dogs and get the kid off to school
this morning we are up for another reason
to make TEFF for the TEFF chocolate pudding !
it has the same amount of organic cacao as the silky chocolate pudding
that is, 3 tablespoons, pre.sifted
Dagoba is our choice
after the 1/2 cup of TEFF is cooked in 2 cups of water
(toasted a little before adding to the boiling water)
it is cooled
then into the food processor
with 2 TB maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla
then whir it up like a son of a gun
to make it smooth
and reduce the teeny tiny grains as much as possible
well !
who knew ?
it would come out looking glossy like "real" chocolate pudding
the kind made with milk, cream, egg yolk, and, currently
a sugar substitute Erythritol which is 70% of the sweetness of sugar
but works very well in the pudding
Erythritol will ruin your cup of cappucino, however, mark my words
put the TEFF pudding in a bowl / there is not a whole lot of it !
when ready to eat scoop some up
have the whipped cream ready !
oh in the meantime Skaterina is sipping a protein drink
she slipped off to the supermarket (when DD and GK
werent around) to browse the shelves of Ensure
cdnt read the fine print so asked for help from the pharmacy
a nice and attractive young man came out to read all the labels
and advise on her selection even pointing to comparisons in pricing
whew
that was fun
Skaterina is happy to see she can still be attracted to good looking young men !
although she feels too bony for sex
well
maybe after she loads up on protein drinks
and TEFF puddings
