I am told that the chemicals in some fire extinguishers may weaken metals, so I cleaned it off posthaste and you might want to clean off that toaster as well. Still, as far as our health is concerned, not so bad.

Cadbury Chef: Final Round! We haven't heard from our good friend Paula Deen in a little while. Let's see what she recommends for a .. hmm.. chocolate custard, to bring this little project full circle? http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/chocolate-creme-brulee-recipe/index.html ...The recipe starts with 1 quart of heavy cream. :blarggh: Okay, this could be salvageable.. ...Or at least Cadburiable.  Cream, and in place of sugar and cocoa, 7 Cadbury eggs ought to be sweet enough. I added 1 TBP vanilla, and 1 TBP rum extract. I figured either that or espresso powder would be a way to kick the recipe slightly away from "pure fat and sugar" zone, though what is creme brulee without those two flavors predominating?  The "eggs" are tempered into the cream, stirring regularly until the cream takes a single moment's inattention to boil over. I guess that means it's done!  Pour into six ramekins, then place in a water bath in the oven to bake for 50 minutes at 450 degrees fahrenheit.  Sprinkled with ultrafine baker's sugar on top and broiled instead of torched, as I've had enough brushes with fire today and 2 am is not the time to bust out a propane torch. Now for the amazing fact: The revised Cadbury version of this recipe has nearly 1/3 less calories than the original. (460 vs 650) Let's hear it for Paula Deen. This coming Easter evening I will of course post my credits, thanks, and a recap of everything I've learned. This Cadbury experience has now drawn to a close. I want to thank everyone for visiting, from GWS, PYF and everywhere else, and say thank you for joining in on how fun this has been!

How did the "pickled" eggs turn out? I didn't see any further mention of them, and it's exactly the sort of gross thing that I would copy, if they're vaguely edible.

pork never goes bad posted:IM NOTICING A DISTINCT LACK OF CUSTARDMAKING AND/OR EGG EATING FROM OUR NEWFRIENDS  See how easy making a chocolate custard pie and taking a horrible cell phone picture of a slice of it is, Ricola? You have brought shame to yourself, and diabetes to Taft Punk, by not making a custard. You monster.

So! In this last couple of weeks, I have learned that custards set just perfectly with no real eggs, though it takes overnight, Paula Deen recipes cause abdominal distress for twelve to twenty hours, and that you should always pipe your frosting onto something at the same spot you plan on photographing it on. I also learned that goons love a good train wreck, and that you can, in fact train a human to wince at the sight of a Cadbury egg in a Pavlovian manner -- the family-in-law was very thoughtful and left us each a Cadbury egg on our dinner plate. Pickled egg results:  After a day and a half pickling, the egg was noticeably lighter, but lost no external definition.  When broken open, the contents were mostly unchanged. I suspect a couple more days in the drink would have continued the transformation.  One of the housemates and a fellow goon trying one of the pickled eggs -- he reported that he likes neither Rockstar nor Cadbury eggs, but that them combined was not entirely horrible. He's still alive and not in a hospital, I promise. This concludes the Cadbury Challenge. I hope you enjoyed it, and I'll be monitoring my bloodsugar results for weeks to come. Have a happy Easter!  To wash out the Cadbury taste, have some bunnies!  And some chickens.

I know at this point never to post in a thread without carefully reading the OP, dammit. Thank you for the reminder. Gonna make a cheesecake. Gonna make it fast.  EDIT: 25 minutes from horrified realization to finished (but uncooked) cheesecake. (It's in the oven now. I just don't want to bring shame upon my account.) I even added some SPECIAL TOPPINGS in honor of Taft Punk's diabetic sacrifice:  Thank you, Taft Punk. I learned even more about Cadbury Eggs.
