Two Puddings for the Commencement of February

As we moved into the doldroms of February, I refused to be robbed of a joyful heart and spirit. What better way to counteract the blues and blahs of winter's shortest month than making sweet concoctions in the happy place of my kitchen? First up: a dark chocolate pudding, with a sharp flavor that probably wouldn't thrill all comers...but I sure enjoyed it. That was a mid-day treat on February 1st.

That night I made up another pudding, to be served the next two nights after dinner: homemade vanilla pudding. Remember: vanilla pudding doesn't have to be extraordinary. It just has to be vanilla pudding, and I'll be down with it. But this vanilla pudding was extraordinary, as in extraordinarily and amazingly delicious.
