Drinking Custard: The Diary of a Confused Mum

Product Information

There are sporadic interjections from husband, Jon Richardson, reminiscent of their successful telly programme, Meet the Richardsons. Today dear readers I am on the blog tour for Drinking Custard Diary Of A Confused Mum ( Published 30/9/21) By Lucy Beaumont. I have tasted eggnog just once and didn’t enjoy it, but I certainly have always loved drinking custard. Get ready to make room on mum’s bookshelf for Drinking Custard to sit alongside other mum classics such as Why Mummy Drinks, Hurrah For Gin!

The best part is that it’s quick and easy to make using just a few ingredients that we always have on hand, and isn’t packed with caffeine.

Adding the Milk: If you add all the milk at once, sometimes the egg will cook too much and you’ll end up with little chunks of cooked egg in your custard, which obviously isn’t so great. Get ready to make room on mum's bookshelf for Drinking Custard to sit alongside other mum classics such as Why Mummy Drinks, Hurrah for Gin! Although she contrasted her upbringing with that of her much more comfortable child, it was observational humour rather than a political book and wasn't as funny as, say, Katherine Ryan's sets about her posh-speaking child.

This book tells of her experience of motherhood from the day she decided she wanted a baby to the present day when Elsie has just turned 5. Not to be deterred, I tried her on blitzed kale - a mental thing to do but I had read that some babies love it and it sort of gets their taste buds ready for, well, living with Gwyneth Paltrow, I suppose.You could also try heating it again until it’s thicker–beat in an additional couple egg yolks, or even a whole egg first, if you’d like. If anyone was sick or recovering from anything from surgery to a broken heart you could count on her to bring you a quart of cold Boiled Custard. As a mother to four boys (NO MORE) I can strongly relate to those long 9 months of pregnancy, the unexpected change of the birthing plan and the endless night feeds.
