"The lesson [Henry David Thoreau] had taught himself, and which he tried to teach others, was summed up in the one word 'Simplify.' That meant simplify the outward circumstances of your life, simplify your needs and your ambitions; learn to delight in the simple pleasures which the world of Nature affords. It meant also, scorn public opinion, refuse to accept the common definitions of success, refuse to be moved by the judgment of others. And unlike most who advocate such attitudes, he put them into practice." (Walden and Other Writings by Henry David Thoreau--Edited and with an Introduction by Joseph Wood Krutch, Bantam Books, 1962, P. 1)

Chocolate Pudding

I made simple chocolate pudding for our Sunday afternoon treat. Here is the recipe.
In medium saucepan mix:
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup instant non-fat dry milk
Whisk all these together until well blended. Stir in two cups warm water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture just begins to boil. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Pour into four serving dishes and cool. (Cover with waxed paper if you don't like the skin. We loves the skin.) Serve warm.
