In pajamas making desserts until 11:00 – not so bad for good Friday/Passover/my one real day off of UW spring break! [answered one work email so far; see if I can keep it that way].
Both types of puddings say to top with pistachios – so I’ll have to chop some. We’ll see if I shell the salted ones, from the giant Costco bag I bought at the holidays, when I still had 3/4 of the prior giant Costco bag in the pantry, or use some of the already shelled, unsalted ones that’re in the freezer, also bought for holiday baking … Now to attack the mountain of dishes in the sink. The plan is clean up, eat breakfast, and go for a walk. Maybe a little work when I get back, maybe just the rest of the Passover cooking.
OK, biked to the library, came home, shelled and chopped most of the UN-salted pistachios I bought by accident for the super-bowl-party-that-wasn’t, and made salted pistachio pudding topping by putting the nutmeats and a few good pinches of flakey salt into a ziploc baggie, and beating them with my rolling pin. Now one last email gander for the day, and back to Passover cooking.
