Perfect Pudding Everytime

   We live in a golden age. My moms, god rest her soul, had alot of good qualities. Sadly, her pudding skill wasn't one of them. Those were the days when pudding was brought to a milk curdling boil and served with a leathery skin. Boy, don't that sound appetizing. Another family favorite was the "Fish Eyes and Glue". Also know as tapioca pudding, this gummy concoction was an acquired taste let's say , to be kind. Egg custard, as served in my childhood home, also sported the "leathery skin'', this time hiding a yellowish eggy slime. Whoah,  kinda early in the day for these descriptions !
   Fast forward to 2011. At your local market, the pudding aisle, in little boxes , no cook, delicious pudding abounds ! Don't buy pudding in a can. Stuff like so-callled "Indian Pudding" in a can is an abomination. Resist any chilled pudding products. Too much plastic.
   Open box, mix with milk , chill and enjoy.    Perfect,      just like life.
