The problem with butterscotch is that it never tasted like butter rum. <\/p>\n<p>But homemade chocolate pudding is different. I know what ingredients go in it: cocoa, salt, corn starch, sugar, milk, bittersweet chocolate, and vanilla. (I use Mexican vanilla here, not the Madagascar bourbon vanilla).<\/p>\n<p>Yea, I suppose I could be accused of being a food snob, but my feeling is that if I&#8217;m going to eat empty calories, then I should be making it worth my while and eat something that tastes really good, instead of sweets for the sake of eating sweets.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s also comforting, and I need comfort right now. Work has been very busy and very tiring, and most days I don&#8217;t want to do anything more than collapse and let my brain zone out. Comfort is what I need, and chocolate pudding hits the spot.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/random_michelle\/3605698502\/\" title=\"chocolate_pudding_0001 by Random Michelle K, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3352\/3605698502_bb0776405c.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"chocolate_pudding_0001\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The pudding is the consistency of chocolate milk before it&#8217;s heated, but even when I don&#8217;t see it boiling (because I&#8217;m stirring constantly) there is a noticeable shift when it thickens.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/random_michelle\/3605700732\/\" title=\"chocolate_pudding_0002 by Random Michelle K, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3402\/3605700732_fb53dfb3c3.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"chocolate_pudding_0002\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Poured into the bowls and waiting to be cooled and eaten.<\/p>\n<p>Mmm&#8230;. chocolate pudding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, chocolate pudding again.
