NBA

Finals are over. My 2 least favorite teams were in the finals, so it was pretty anticlimactic. Miami I think everyone dislikes for obvious reason. OKC cause they stole the team from Seattle, plus they have just been too damn lucky with personnel things: Oden/Durant, Perkins, no serious injuries to anyone in the last couple of years. They haven't paid their dues.

The best part, though, was that the Heat won because of shoddy refereeing. They have Lebron, Wade, Bosh, and they still needed a ton of help from the refs. The game broke open last night on a bad call. So they didn't even necessarily deserve to win. Perfect scenario for me.

Now this guy was easy to root for!

Pudding

We're on a pudding kick right now. Lots of half price milk from the co-op lately, but not whole milk so can't make ricotta. There's only so much yogurt I can make, and we're getting goat milk, too, and making kefir with that....... so, pudding. Cornstarch pudding, using the recipe from Kingsford cornstarch for cocoa, vanilla. The cocoa pudding I've been making for forever, and it never gets old. Pic is of pudding on a homemade peanut butter cookie. Pretty darn tasty!
