111th moon [video]

Be honest, please.

[It's Cecil's voice speaking, but his face isn't anywhere near the camera. Instead, the video shows a pan filled with pudding. Pudding that looks like it contains enough food dye to poison a man, all mixed together into some sort of eye-searing slurry, but pudding still.]

Is this recognizable as rainbow pudding in any way, shape or form? The... separation between the colors is not quite as clear as I'd hoped it would be.

[Apologies to both pudding-haters and fans of tasteful color palettes.]

Right. They're the bags you would use to decorate cakes. And if you can get your hands on those re-sealable storage bags at the store then those oughta be fine, too.

As for keeping the flavors separate? It should work until someone digs into it, sure.

[paladinlost]

I'll have to try that technique next time, should there be a next time. The results might not last very long, considering the appetites of this household, but seeing a proper pudding after so many years would be worth the price of those bags.

[radfield]

It's a lot of work, though I'm sure whoever you're making it for would appreciate it nonetheless. With or without the piping bags.

I'm guessing this is for your friends and/or pokémon?

[paladinlost]

For the woman dearest to my heart, first of all. My team will also have a taste, of course, but if they were the first to be served no one else would see it, much less eat it.

[radfield]

[ Man, Cecil. Smooth as silk. Chris wishes he were cool enough to talk about his partner like that. ]

Figured that was the case after seeing a pan full of it. Try serving them in small cups, I guess? My sister and cousins usually do that.

[ Did Barry's kids count as family? Probably. Most likely. ]

[paladinlost]

...Do they use them even when the appetites of everyone involved vary greatly, or is that for dealing with humans only?

[Would a Gyarados-sized small cup count as small still? Something to ponder.]

[radfield]

Good question.

Guess it depends. Although if I were you, I'd maybe look at it as being a treat? Unless your pokémon usually go through a tub's worth of poffins or berries at once.

[paladinlost]

I have three Gyarados and a Steelix. A tub full of berries would be a light snack at best, unless the rest of the team made them share.

[radfield]

[ Chris knows the size of a Gyarados roughly, but he does take a moment to look up with a Steelix is. ]

Ah, I see. Sorry, but I don't know how to help you there, buddy.

Maybe you could grab a few friends to help with all the cooking?

[ He does feel kind of bad for not being able to offer much else. Since all he can do is suggest one way to make it look slightly more edible at the very least. ]

[paladinlost]

I'd be tempted to ask them to prepare their own portions, but that is possibly the only way to make this pudding look worse without setting it on fire. I do now have a volunteer for kitchen assistance, however.

[Hopefully they have enough talent between the two of them to salvage this.]

[radfield]

That's good to hear. I'd offer to help, or at least show you how to pipe the colors, but my partner and I are in the middle of traveling. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out if you decide to get 'em, though.

That said, good luck! :)b

[paladinlost]

The advice you offered is plenty of help already, thank you very much! With it, I should be able to prepare a... decent-looking pudding.
