Simple Chocolate Pudding Recipe

NOTES:

- You have to bring the mixture to a boil when everything is mixed together - then lower the heat and add the extract. For some reason, the recipe seems to imply that you should leave it on low heat the entire time, and that... yeah, doesn't cut it.



VARIATIONS:

- You can use cocoa powder instead of chocolate.

- You can use vanilla bark instead of chocolate, to make vanilla pudding.

- The flavor is rather mature, so add more sugar if you like a "sweet" dessert.

- You can add mint extract or melted peppermint candies for a mint chocolate pudding.

- You can use canned milk (the kind that you dilute with water to make whole milk) and instead of using water, mix the can(s) of milk with cooled coffee. Use that and you will have chocolate mocha pudding.

Makes a whole lot of chocolate.

Szen's Mediterranean Pasta >.>

Serves 2.

This was improvised so I didn't follow any recipe. I can only give estimates so put in as much of the ingredients as feels right to you. XD

1/2 box pasta shells, cooked
maybe 1/2 large can artichoke hearts, chopped
less than 1/2 can black olives (good olives would be better, but I bought what was cheap), sliced
I would have added a tomato if I'd had any, chopped
about 1/4 cup olive oil
a squirt of lemon juice
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
dried oregano
dried mint
black pepper
2 oz (?) feta cheese, crumbled

1. Toss the artichokes, olives and tomato with cooked pasta.

2. Combine oil and lemon juice. Stir in garlic, herbs and pepper. You could add salt if you want. We try to avoid adding any. My first choice would be fresh herbs, but all I had was cheap tubs of dried from the Middle Eastern grocer. Those are cheaper and better than the dried stuff in the big grocery store. 8D

3. Toss oil mixture with pasta and veggies. Then stir in the feta.

3.5 I think I might have sprinkled some parmesan cheese over it when I served it. I can't remember for sure.

4. Eat and make nom nom noises.
