[edit] Nose picker

Hey, I saw your picture of the gal picking her nose on the wiki reference desk. It appears to be a candid shot. Do your employees know you're spying on them? Or was the caption just a joke? NIRVANA2764 21:39, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pastry cream

Definitions vary. Some authors include "pastry cream" as a kind of custard, others don't. As the custard article says:

Custard is a range of preparations based on milk and eggs, thickened with heat. Most commonly, it refers to a dessert or dessert sauce, but custard bases are also used for quiches and other savoury foods. As a dessert, it is made from a combination of milk or cream, egg yolks, sugar, and flavourings such as vanilla. Sometimes flour, corn starch, or gelatin are also added. In French cookery, custard—called simply "crème" or more precisely "crème moulée"—is never thickened in this way: when starch is added, it is pastry cream crème pâtissière; when gelatin is added, it is crème anglaise collée.

I don't know if there is any definitive authority on the question in English. --Macrakis 20:22, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
