There’s that old joke about insanity being defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Guilty as charged. Every February I find myself apologizing for falling behind on birthday duties, and this year was no different.
See? No mercy, no pity—just the fatigue of an overbooked schedule. But rather than dwell on that failing (which would only confirm the opening line of this post), let’s talk about food. Food is my happy place.
Today’s subject: Mochaccino Custard. This is a simple, reliable recipe I turn to again and again. It comes together quickly and suits almost any occasion—whether you’re dressing up for a special dinner or serving something relaxed at a casual gathering. People always enjoy it.
