*~~Recipe For Tubby Custard (A Recent Experiment)
You will need:-
1 Bucket of Mud (from the flowerbed)
1 Bucket of Flour (from the kitchen cupboard)
1 Bottle of Ketchup
All the milk from the fridge
1 Golf Club
Paddling Pool.
Before you begin, make sure there are no grown ups around (cos for some weird reason they may not like you doing this). Next, throw all the mud, flour, ketchup and milk into your paddling pool, then grab daddy's golf club (or the next best thing) and stir until mixed thoroughly. If you like it thicker then you can just add more mud from the flower bed.
Then grab a bowl from the kitchen and you have your tubby custard! Just remember don't offer this to any nearby adults and remember I didn't tell you the recipe! I haven't actually tasted it myself yet, because mummy got in a bad mood and took it away, but I plan to make it soon another day when she is busy with my sister and she won't notice. I can then give you a full report on what it tastes like
