I don’t know who or how…but today we had this sudden inspiration to sell puddings tomorrow in school. In case you’re wondering, all this while i’ve been busy raising funds for my school’s Interact Club. We’ve been washing teachers’ cars, selling chocolates and now we’re gonna sell pudding. At first it was chocolate covered fruits like apples, bananas, etc. But later we decided it would be far more easier and cheaper to make puddings. So then we all got so excited that it was kinda hard for us to actually pay attention in class but we forced ourselves anyway…
The plan was like this…Krystine’s mom would fetch us to Tesco after school so that we can get the stuff we need. Like plastic cups, spoons, eggs, flour and you know the rest. And CM would join us after she’s done with her tuition and piano classes which will be around 8pm.
It was a little after 4pm when we left for Tesco. Reached there in about 20 minutes i think. Spent about and hour plus shopping around and trying to decide which milk was cheaper. I think we were a little…noisy…people were kinda looking at us while we argued about the price differences and so on. Haha. Who cares anyway…
We got home sharp at 6pm…just like what i had predicted two hours ago. Hehe. Krys, Jega and I were the only ones gathered at my house at that time. We started off with the lemon pudding. Well…it wasn’t THAT bad for our first pudding though it was a little lumpy and thick. Haha. That time when we tasted it…it was okay…only a little too sweet. So we chuck everything we made into the refrigerator and started on our next pudding - the chocolate pudding.
The chocolate pudding took a much longer time to make than the lemon one. Maybe it was because while stirring the milk with a combination of flour + sugar + cocoa powder, we were discussing about this two hot guys in this show on TV called Supernatural. Lolz. I swear we can talk about guys for hours. You don’t wanna hear how and what we say. Haha =P
So anyway, when the mixture was ready, I brought it to the stove to cook it. I was supposed to stir it until it thickens. So there I stood one hand on my hip, stirring chocolate. I stirred and stirred and stirred. Still it remained liquid. After some while later, I decided that I had been stirring for far too long so i just brought it over to the kitchen counter and began pouring the hot chocolate liquid into the little plastic cups. When I’ve just finished pouring into the last cup, dear mommy came in and said "There’s no way that chocolate is going to set and harden."
We had no other choice but to pour the chocolate back into the pot and let my mom boil it again. This time…when she’s the one cooking…it did thicken. It turned out better than what I expected. I think it’s gonna be really sellable tomorrow. We’re gonnna spray some whipped cream on the surface and sprinkle a little chocolate rice over it. And we’re only charging RM1.50 for it! That’s cheap!
Anyway, Seow Teng came too to help out. Glad she came, it was always funny to have her around. By the time CM came, we were going to start on the second batch of the chocolate pudding. This time I let the others do the work. Since they were soooo eager to do. Haha. And yeah…my mom was there to help us. It was really good of her. She saved us in the end of the day. Read on to find out.
Soew Teng was a little curious about how our lemon pudding tasted like because she never got to taste it. Jega and I (Krys went home already), kept insisting that it doesn’t really tastes that good. But of couse, being Seow Teng, she kept asking for it. So finally, we gave in and gave her the one that I thought looked ugliest. I think she regretted asking for it when she took off the cover. Lol. She took her first spoonful and after a little while she said it tasted like kaya. We bursted out laughing. Later we had this little debate of what to do with the lemon-kaya pudding.
Then, dearest mommy came up with this brilliant idea. She said she would make dragon fruit jelly for us to sell and to put the lemon-kaya pudding aside. We all agreed and so she made us about 14 cups of dragon fruit jelly. It was good…tasted good as well…and the color was really attention catching. There’s the part where my mom saved us. Hehe.
Anyway, I wished I can continue typing but my eyes really are failing me. They’re refusing to stay open. And i think my body’s gonna shut down completely any moment now. Guess it’s bed time for me now. Nitez! Bittersweet dreams!
