Yea... I'm 100% over the Arizona heat already. Was on both sides of 110 for multiple days already... Time to get out of this God forsaken hell hole!
But it's Friday, and I'm alive and kicking. Happy Friday!

Go the homemade custard route this time. You won't be sorry.
I use this recipe: https://www.food.com/recipe/old-fashioned-banana-pudding-32625#activity-feed
One thing to change is only use the yolks of the eggs for the custard, and use 4. Use the whites for the meringue if you want to add it. I've found the custard always comes out lumpy when you use the whole egg.
Also, heat your liquid ingredients up and then temper the egg yolks in. This will also prevent clumping.

That looks very good but I have some instant pudding I should use. I should try this for the next round. Have you ever used those cartons full of egg yolks mixed together? I've never tried separating egg yolks from whites before. It sounds cumbersome without particular tools.

Hey Krunky! How’s the krunk going? You still on the Pacific Roots? I’m about to open up this bag of Tongan here from TheKavaRoots.

Nice man, no more green kava, I had the last one last night. I made Squanch today and I am jealous you have the The kava Roots bag..
I should be getting my kava from Henry, probably early next week.

it is Friday and my krunk from last night is still kind of sitting on me. I drink the heavier strains like melomelo and looking to have a relaxed evening before getting up at 4am again. I hope everyones weekend goes as planned. I wish it rained here I live in this hot as desert!
If you can make kava, I assure you you can make custard.
I say this because custard is literally the only thing I know how to make with any actual accuracy when it comes to food

@Kapmcrunk @Krunʞy You guys are simultaneously making me feel bad and inspiring me to make a better banana pudding next go-around. Instant pudding is really convenient and whipped cream mixed in with the pudding gives a really nice texture. With making a custard, I could try other flavors besides vanilla. Meringue is also territory I have not tread yet...
We definitely don't mean to make you feel bad, but we do mean to inspire you
Meringue had me worried at first when I was making it, but you just add sugar and whip those egg whites and you're good.
Next time, @fait.

Another plus may be being able to control the type and quantity of sugar. I have some buckwheat honey that I thought about drizzling on top but I think the instant pudding mix and the Nilla Wafers probably have sufficient sugar. I also have muscovado sugar which may be good for the custard. If you want sugar that's dark as (milk) chocolate, you can do better than turbinado!We definitely don't mean to make you feel bad, but we do mean to inspire you
