How Can You Have Any Pudding If You Don't Eat Yer Meat?

[pshaw_raven]

Alton Brown's recipe for Yorkshire pudding - This is one of those dishes that, being a nerdy Anglophile kid (and adult if we're being honest) I would read about and never quite understood, but wanted to try. You'd think my experience trying Turkish Delight would make me think twice about testing foods I read about in novels, but I can't imagine this thing being at all bad.

I got stung by a wasp yesterday. I've gone almost 48 years on this earth without being stung and holy crap did it hurt. I thought someone shot me. And it was on the kneecap, too, so hobbling around angrily looking for the wasp killing spray was painful as hell. Yes, I did go back out there and commit war crimes, but they started it. I took some Benadryl before bed (this was all happening around 7:30 pm) and ended up having weird anxiety dreams, but my knee felt a lot better this morning.

I'm making sourdough cheese bread today. First time trying the recipe. I need to find something to make with all this discard. I'm also thinking of getting back into brewing kombucha - I enjoyed doing it and I liked the lemon-hibiscus booch soda I was making. I'd need a kombucha mother, but I still have all the EZ Cap bottles.

Ack! Glad your knee feels better! One of my aunts was allergic to wasp stings to the point of needing to have an epi-pen handy - she discovered this late in life. She was also asthmatic, so that may have been a factor. I've never been stung either & her experience has always stuck with me.

Ugh, that Benadryl, I swear.

That sounds interesting! I've tried kombucha before but couldn't get into it. Makes sense. If it's good for me, my body says no fam, we good.

I actually started off more allergic to stings as a kid. My reaction to them has gotten less severe over time, which I'm grateful for.

I like kombucha if it's flavored. I find the plain kind tastes like someone stewed up a pot of old tennis shoes.
