Drinking Custard: The Diary of a Confused Mum

Product Information

I always find Eggnog too ‘nutmegy’ – I’m glad to learn there is an alternative, similar style drink. As I read through the book, this is a book with humour and with anecdotes that parents may be able to relate to in their own lives. I tried it myself with an erythritol/monkfruit sweetener when I did the keto diet and thought it was delicious that way too! Get ready to make room on mum's bookshelf for Drinking Custard to sit alongside other mum classics such as Why Mummy Drinks , Hurrah For Gin!

Or anyone who has watched children’s TV and wondered who thought ‘In the Night Garden’ was a good idea.Today dear readers I am on the blog tour for Drinking Custard Diary Of A Confused Mum ( Published 30/9/21) By Lucy Beaumont.

Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you. Known for her sharp, witty and surreal view on everyday life, Lucy shares the unpredictable craziness of being a mum in this ‘mumoir’. Get ready to make room on mum's bookshelf for Drinking Custard to sit alongside other mum classics such as Why Mummy Drinks, Hurrah For Gin! There are footnotes along the way in which Jon Richardson puts across his side of the story and these form a funny commentary – but the lion’s share of the storytelling is done by Lucy.

However, I am a fan of Meet The Richardsons (a part-fictional show about Lucy's life with her husband, comedian Jon Richardson), so decided to give this a read. the frosting is made of whipped egg whites, with a hot simple sugar syrup poured in while the mixer is running on HIGH! I have a daughter who can only get her medication down by drinking Southern Comfort’s Vanilla Spice Eggnog.

I’m aware I’m not really the target audience for this one but I thought it was absolutely brilliant - one of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to. Like when Lucy was hospitalised during her third trimester with chest pains but it turned out to be a burrito.The next goes on to her meeting and getting together with Jon, who adds “interruptions” through the book.

After she and my youngest got their first taste of drinking custard, I realized I would probably never make a half batch. I would like to point out that we do share a regular Double bed with Gabbie, Sam, 5 Bear Bears, Ginger Bear, A Duckling, a slipper, a Blue Dinosaur and a Google Ball - other toy boxes are available throughout the house - oh and us - 2 adults!and last night it was only after reading this that I remembered to take my bra off as we had been dealing with a Huffy Gabbie as to why she could not take her Easter Bumble Bee to bed with us ( it squeaks and rustles plus her Brother had already destroyed his Sloth and was eyeing Stripes ( name of Bumble Bee) up next! She admits that she only brought a mud kitchen because there’s a Scandinavian idea that if your child plays with mud and has a connection to nature they won’t get depressed when they are older. The best part is that it’s quick and easy to make using just a few ingredients that we always have on hand, and isn’t packed with caffeine.
