Chocolate Puddin'

So my ladyfriend has been hankering for some chocolate pudding recently. So I busted out Vegan with a Vengance (oh, btw, the best vegan cookbook I own! yum) and read off the "chocolate pudding" recipie as she made it in the kitchen. Now, mind you, this ladyfriend of mine does not cook. Her idea of dinner is a salad with a can of tuna dumped on top (or beans, when she makes me a salad). So this week has been a lot of me cooking and her help'n with the cooking. She'll soon be earning her merit badge! What a good little scout!

Anyways, the pudding was delishously chocolatly. However, it had the physical properties of that like slime-gel you used to get in the vending machines when you were a kid (am I dating myself?). Our ranking? It has some potential. Perhaps try some cornstarch instead of arrowroot next time. Or flour. Something. Something less...slimely....we'll save the arrowroot for the cheese!
