I wonder if when that husband came home from a long day at work, kids screaming Daddy, Daddy and he actually could have enjoyed something different. While the poor housewife was busy with whatever during the day and made one of those recipes and husband and kids hated it. What a letdown.

My paternal grandmother, who grew up in Louisiana, is the only one I've ever known to make floating island.

I made Floating Island once as a newly wed to impress my new husband. It was OK, but not something I would say that I crave. Much ado about nothing, and not worth the effort, in my humble opinion.

But it did impress, because David still talks about it to this day when ever we see someone making it on TV. He’ll say, “You made that for us”.

Now look at that! That certainly got new followers with all the one pot pasta recipes all over the internet!

Floating islands is great, but you have to make it with a "real" custard with lots of egg yolks and no cornstarch. And especially not with oil! What on earth does that oil do in there?

Louis, will keep in mind to make a picture when I make that sauce. Don't know yet what to do with it. lol. And will use my own mayonnaise instead of Hellmann's.

I made the Hellmann's sauce from Reply# 72. After warming up the sauce it didn't have the tangy taste from the mayonnaise anymore, but that made the sauce quite bland. I added lots of mild curry powder (more like a tablespoon than 1/2 teaspoon) and a little turmeric. That made things much better. I found the sauce on the thin side though. If you are going to try this, start with a lot less milk than mayonnaise. It was an easy sauce to make, but ofcourse it's rather fat. It curdled up a bit in the beginning but when the sauce got warmer it didn't need much effort to get a smooth sauce. I had the sauce with brussels sprouts and a small minced lamb pot pie (ready bought). Here are some pictures.

Tried the HUNTS HAMBURGER RICE PIE (Post 1007625, reply 10). It was really good. I did add some spices to the rice and used american cheese slices instead of the grated. Pretty tasty and would easily feed 6.
