I had a chocolate pudding cake parfait for breakfast. Real cake, real pudding, layered in a parfait glass with Redi-whip on top. A few months ago I tried one of those pudding-cake-in-a-pan recipes and retch! The cake is bad. The pudding is bad. A dessert this good deserves to be made properly!
I used this Depression Cake recipe since I don't eat eggs. I cut the sugar to 2/3 cup and used one cup of strong coffee instead of plain water, and wow! It was delicious! https://www.budgetbytes.com/chocolate-depression-cake/
on edit: I just saw the post about the Godiva instant choco pudding. Oh my! I was going to wait until my birthday to make this again, but if I find that pudding, I may not be able to wait. |

No health insurance.... and no chance of getting any time soon, that will be keeping some of us away. Unless you can prove to me, that I will not be out 50-100 grand if I need "the treatment"? Bye people, some of you really suck, some of you are alright, I guess.

Many more masks and more respect for social distancing a few weeks ago. It's much more lax now, as if "The worst is over. We're on our way back to normal."
I predict a nasty second wave by July 4 and probably a third or even fourth one by November. |

52. Tofu is finally back in stock.
|
In my 30+ years of being vegetarian I've never seen tofu out of stock, much less for four weeks.
TP is available, but in limited quantities and brands. Same with facial tissue and paper towels. Clorox, disinfectant wipes, rubbing alcohol, and peroxide all out of stock. They get random deliveries, but you have to be there or it's gone in minutes. Dry beans, rice, and oatmeal are hit or miss. Flour and yeast are back in stock. Fewer and fewer people wearing masks anywhere, and also a fair number not respecting the six foot rule. I will continue to use the shopping service so I only have to deal with one employee out in the parking lot. |
