custard success!!!!

I know it is completely stupid to get his excited over something as lack-luster as custard (hey, I almost made a rhyme), but I am *stoked* that I finally got my custard to thicken using 1% milk and whole eggs. I had another thread where I was totally frustrated with my custard persisting in being thin ... my latest attempt was the worst - ds kept waking up and I kept having to take it off the heat and it was a thin, watery, corn-starchy mess. I took that batch and stuck it in a jar in the fridge, then poured it back out into a pan 2 days later ( the thick starchy stuff stayed at the bottom of the jar), and heated it indiscriminately (I figured, hey, it's ruined anyway) to almost boiling, and voila! it thickend perfectly! I guess there was enough cornstarch left in there to do the trick.

Anyway, I am happy about it. :mrgreen :mrgreen :mrgreen :mrgreen :mrgreen :mrgreen :mrgreen
