This recipe is really forgiving (once when I was half asleep I put the sugar and cocoa for the topping into the pudding itself and vice versa. It turned out fine.

The heat should dissolve the sugar but it may not have the richness you get from brown sugar. Let me know how you get on!

heys
I really wanna try this recipe, but instead of brown sugar is it possible to use raw sugar?

Thanks Jan,
you may well be right about parenting being under-appreciated. I'm soon to find out for myself - I'm pregnant with our first child. I'm hoping we can continue a good, workable balance once our son comes along (although I do expect a few rude shocks along the way).

Great post. I just found your blog and am loving it -- just the thought provoking ideas this bored housewife needs!

My hubby and I choose to have a parent-at-home with the kiddies, but have taken turns with that role. When my partner was at-home, his job included most (ok, nearly all) of the housework, and same for me when I'm at-home. It makes for a nice work-family balance and also has improved about marriage because we both "get" where the other person is coming from . . . yeah, we now both know it is way easier to be the working parent. I think that is the piece of your 1950s dream thats missing; back then women worked hard in the home, but got no recognition and their partners didn't know (or care) what they did all day, that would suck.

Thanks again for the blog. Keep it comin'

Just found your blog (waddaya know, the Foodie Blogroll really works) and I see we have something in common. Being the only coffee drinker in the house I was reduced to buying a ridiculously expensive instant, but have since recruited my step-son into stunting his growth and we've graduated to French press with a wonderful local Middle Eastern blend. I love your machine and am going to start hinting, there's a birthday coming up.....

oh gosh, i can soooo relate!

to lili (wondering if you'll ever see this), i resigned from my 9-5 bleh of a job at the end of jan. finally took the plunge. in a rather uncomfortable place at the moment but i know in my heart it was the right decision so i'm not going to let myself go back. time to step out and dream...or rather pursue the dream.
