Nectar

Yesterday’s corner time: 4 Minutes.

As I get older, my palate is definitely becoming more sophisticated and I’m developing a distinct ability to detect the complex flavours that constitute most of my meals.

I am also able to identify which ingredients work well together and to recommend combinations that will bring out the best of each of the individual components.

Through exhaustive experimentation and numerous tastings, I have developed an extensive, encyclopaedic knowledge of cooking and I can now be quite bold with some of my culinary creations.

Virtually all of my dishes revolve around one secret ingredient – Custard.

I’ve yet to find a bad pairing involving this nectar like substance. My favourite is fruit smothered with Custard. To be honest, I’m not too fond of the fruit bits but it’s easy to push them out of the way and it acts as a good delivery mechanism for the Custard.

Becca actually prefers strawberries. When being offered one, she tends to open her mouth so wide that she almost dislocates her jaw. If she holds her mouth open for too long, it starts attracting matter in a similar manner to a black hole, placing the whole universe in jeopardy.

I discovered yesterday that emptying a bowl of Custard over her head enhances even Becca. However, Mum disagreed.

Sheesh - Mums are so boring, aren't they, Matthew??

I agree, custard probably does enhance Becca :-)

Mind you, watch out - she must be nearly old enough to have her own blog - or worse, share yours!

I know, Mum's a real drag when it comes to this kind of thing.

Becca share my blog? Over her dead body. :-)

custard is particularly spectacular as a weapon when it's thick enough to hold it's shape when thrown. make sure your mother adds plenty of custard powder. enjoy!

I've discovered that Becca is very thick and becomes a lethal weapon when thrown. Especially, if she's covered in custard.:-)
