AKA Creme Anglaise

We both have colds.
Fur of course has man flu - a deadly condition known only to affect the hairier of the human race, so there's no point in competing with him for who has the worst symptoms. I would lose hands down.
Syrup sponge pudding with cold custard is one of the best cures. One needs to take great care when handling the pudding though. The syrup can melt Kryptonite and I almost lost a finger when a tiny amount dripped onto it; definitely testament that no matter how lousy I am feeling, I'm obviously more than capable of managing to use the most colourful language.
I blame Leeds. For everything.

Fuff said...

Dan- Thanks :) I'll try it with the pud. I reckon it looks like Elizabeth Taylor personally.

Bead - Yep and bless you! No sign of anything, not even Lobby. Sniffle.

I dont get flu! Im too old, I get Pneumonia :o)) the only cure is "sossage" and Mash with thick onion gravy. Im then up and about in thirty seconds and on my way to the boat, no matter what the weather! :o))

ya... man flu!!! to spite the triple strenght meds the doc puts the female on we dont have have time to be ill-- we must take care our half dead men!

I feel your pain.. hope you feel better soon. And now I need to look up syrup sponge pudding.

Fuff said...

Bead - I'm sure it'll turn up, but Lob's been a while..

Jin - Custard is lovely, but I don't like the stuff if it's hot. That skin that forms is gross!

Middle Child - LOL! You obviously do, teehee :)

Rob - Coo, sossidge and mash and gravy. Cor! A cure for anything I reckon :)

Charlie - Tsk. You men...

City Mouse - Poor little lambs ;) Don't you have steamed puds in the US?

rob said...

I hope Lobby isn`t stuffed with "Catnip" as customs will probably be trying to smoke it by now? :o))

The Dog of Freetown said...

I blame Leeds for everything too. No really, for everything. Isn't it just custard?

Fuff said...

Rob, one thing Lob appeared never to have contained is catnip, despite allegedly being a catnip toy. This was realised when he managed to attract the attention of 0 cats!

Kieran - Yes it is, but nobody over the other side of the pond knows what custard is...

rob said...

Just proooooves, what I am trying to say, doesnt it? cat`s dont smoke weed! thats why he never attracted a single cat (or married one for that matter) see, :o))

Pat said...

Feel better soon Fuff and Fur (and likely Sin too, no?) And I beg to differ with you - some of us old-timers across the pond do indeed know what true custard is (not the crap from a box!) Yours, however, looks absolutely scrumptuous!

Fuff said...

Rob - LOL!! Heeheeee

Pat - Oops. I'll get me coat. Thanks!
