Our fancy pants dessert only mostly turned out. I burned the shit out of the cream anglaise (imagine an accent mark in there). And it never thickened. Whisking was the wrong idea–should have used a spoon. But, the chocolate rum cake tastes good so far. I wanted the vanilla pudding! Damnit!!

I’m so tempted to make jello instant pudding instead.

ETA: Screw the French. Jello’s got my back.
