How To Make English Trifle - The Video

Sorry, everyone for not posting for the past few days.  I have been busy every night working on this video and I can reassure you that whenever I had free time, it was spent editing this video.  It may not seem much but I went through over 30 minutes of video footage only to come up with 3 minutes and 42 seconds worth, annoying my wife saying "look at this," and re-editing after a minor error.  The Suit is in full swing and here is the video on "How To Make Traditional English Trifle."

Feed Me

I have now been working on this experiment for almost a month and my reader response is incredible.  No, I have not written much and if you have read about "My Apple Platter," then you would understand the part as to why.  Now I have my computer back and before I post my video, I would like to receive some feed back.  I have already heard some comments but I would like to build off more.  What works?  What doesn't work?  Anything you would like to read about?  Should I stick with cooking or continue to write on a variety of topics?  Any other comments you would like to make?

Disaster in the Making - Trials of English Trifle

This is a moment where my social experiment experiences trials before the grand release.

I looked in the fridge and I found that the Half and Half was used. In grandness of awe I wondered if there will be enough. I took the container, shook it, and questioned if I should risk the air spoiling the splendor taste only to measure what was left or do I leave it only to find out at the last minute if there is not enough. I then decided to leave it while I ponder the situation over the next two days.

I then reviewed the ingredients for the trifle. What was supposed to be raspberry jell-o turned out to be strawberry... strawberry! In hopes the sale is not over at the local grocery store, I plan my attack.

Will I make it or will the house hold of Dave devour everything before the moment?
