I liked to cook when I was a child (sub 12) (still do). I attribute it to children being imitative and having a Mom who cooked every meal and two much older sisters.
Anyway, once I decided I was going to make a giant pot of chocolate pudding. It wasn't enough to assemble the recipe in my Mom's book. I must have doubled or tripled the recipe. I think I had tasted chocolate pudding recently and wanted ALL the chocolate pudding.
I don't remember much, but I do remember that there was a step in which one carefully heated the mixture, stirring constantly, and then later added the eggs.
Either there was nothing about letting it cool, or I missed that step.
I ended up with a giant pot of chocolatey mixture full of chunks of scrambled eggs.
To this day, if I'm adding eggs to a mixture, I pause to ask myself if the eggs are going to coagulate on contact.
Well, this post succeeded in making me hungry.
I might have to give that a go :)
Mmmmm. Eclairs....
