I don't think Christmas movies can get much better than this one. Michael Caine is perfect as Ebenezer Scrooge.
Nostr's growth seems fast in geologic time.
99% of phones would look like this.
Easy.
3 cups milk
1 large egg
2 fat tbsp corn starch
Sugar to taste usually Β½ to ΒΎ cup.
Put 2 cups of milk & sugar into a pot, you want to bring it almost to a boil, but not quite.
While that's heating up whisk the remaining milk, egg & cornstarch, get the egg well combined.
Once the milk & sugar is heated drop it's temperature down to low, and temper the egg mixture by slowly pouring in about 1Β½ cups of the milk & sugar while whisking vigorously. You don't want the egg to set.
Pour the results of that back into the pot, giving it a good mix while you do so.
If you want flavours, add them now.
Turn the heat back up, and let it get almost back up to a boil, stirring occasionally. Drop it to a simmer for 3-5 minutes or until it nicely coats a spoon, then let cool. It will further thicken.
Good with cocoa or vanilla for flavour, and it's also good plain over fresh or frozen fruit.

It's amazing how something with such a smell is such a good ingredient.
I feel similarly about liverwurst sausage. I never eat it by itself, but added to chili or spaghetti sauce it gives it a huge pump up.
Yes. I put it in so many things. Chili & really anything tomato based gets a huge lift from some fish sauce.
Realizing that the slightly burnt stuff on the bottom of the pans wasn't something to clean off later, but flavour to make part of the dish was a revelation to me. More taste and easier cleanup, it's a win-win.

Stir-fry clued me into cornstarch early, getting those nice clear Asian sauces is a lot easier with a touch of cornstarch. Soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, a touch of fish sauce, cornstarch and whatever spices you can handle. Garlic & ginger please π§π«
Also home made pudding with just milk, eggs, sugar & cornstarch. Plus a flava of course. I haven't bought an instant pudding in 10 years π
Can't call it white sauce anymore. That's racist and euro-phobic π€·ββοΈ
Yes, success through failure and adjusting π―
Stew is a good one. That moment when you realize flour & cornstarch are magical powders is a fun one π
Good morning!
Beautiful pic as always π
I started with chilis, soups, stews etc. Easy techniques that transfer to other dishes eventually and a good way to learn flavours that work for together.
I think that might be around what I've posted. It's in the mid 100's somewhere.
