I have a planning problem. I like to do it way too much. Particularly as it involves anything edible. I fear I’ve passed the syndrome on to my daughter. She’s 4 and it’s not unusual for her, while she’s eating her current meal, to want to know what she’s having for the next one. Sometimes, at 9:30 in the morning, she’ll ask what’s for dinner. I tell her she’s getting ahead of herself, but she also knows that I know....

Instructions The frosting starts out with a mixture of all purpose flour and milk. And even though I’m showing it here being whisked together, I’ve actually found you’ll get a much smoother result if you mix this part in a blender first and then pour it in your pan. Now comes the weird part. You’re going to cook this mixture until it gets thick–it happens fast and you’ll want to have a rubber spatula and constantly smash/stir it to keep it smooth....

Some people (those with digestive issues or those looking for muscle recovery) take bromelain supplements to help with digestion, inflammation and recovery time after exercise, but you can get the same benefit just by eating pineapple....

So these might be fighting words, but is it puppy chow or muddy buddies to you? I’m a bit of a straddler on this… I grew up with it being called both things by various people so I’m really fine either way.
