  1. Tasty and easy. The consistency is surprising...but you get used to it. Mine didn't unmold; they fell apart so we just ate them out of the ramekins with some whipped cream. Maybe that's because I interpreted "medium power" on the microwave as 50%. I'm not sure what "medium power" should be.
     
  2. This was so good that I spent last night and today trying to figure out how to describe it. As Rita said, it is kind of a cross between pumpkin pie and gingerbread, but even that doesn't capture the full flavor. The cornmeal lends a light, almost 'nutty' flavor to the pudding. It set up much better than I had thought it might in the microwave. In our 1200w oven, I the first step took approx 5 min and the second took 10-11. The only change I made was to substitute sorghum for the molasses (nothing like finding out last minute that you're missing one of the main ingredients you were sure you had on hand!), but the two are basically interchangable so there was no real difference in the final product. It smelled wonderful, especially while standing after cooking. The girls were so excited to try theirs they could hardly wait; it was still so warm that it melted the whipped cream they put on top, lol. I waited a bit longer, then put some half-and-half over mine. We left one in the fridge overnight to see how it would be cold - it was also excellent chilled, and had even more of the pumpkin pie resemblance that way. The girls are already requesting it again so I have a feeling this will become a regular in our house. Thanks so much for posting!

<br />and before that, i was on wheel of fortune! yes, with pat and vanna. i was the big winner, and i won a trip to hong kong for a week, somewhere i never would have seen otherwise- <br />i have 4 daughters, 3 gkids and 1 on the way-- so far</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>last year we bought a home in fla, i love it there and next thing on the list id ripping up and renovating the 25 yr old kitchen though i have to say as a vacation home it is rather charming<br />i collect cookbooks, read them like novels, i love murder/food novels by tamara myers, selma eichler, dianne mott davison,etc, and i love cooking gadgets as well.my kids tell me i am easy to shop for, lol, if it is food related they know i'll love it. <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/BtoBHosts.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img alt= /><br />src=http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Derfcookathon.jpg alt=Image hosted by Photobucket.com&gt; <br /><br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Animation1.gif alt=Image hosted by Photobucket.com /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/berriesblinkie.gif alt=Image hosted by Photobucket.com /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/purplechefhat.gif alt=Image hosted by Photobucket.com /> <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/chef3.jpg alt=Image hosted by Photobucket.com /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/FFFFlag.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/flagthorsten_1.jpg border=0 alt=Image hosting by Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/FFF/completedbanner.gif alt= /> <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/FFF/Switzerland-FFF4.gif alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT-ChallengeHostBanner.gif alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/SaltPepperSwap.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC11-Participant.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/mini.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%204/ZWTAB-tg.gif alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/Recipezaar/goldsparkle.png border=0 alt=Made by Bella14ragazza /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></p>
