About a month ago we were talking about butterscotch pudding and I
posted the recipe that I use, which, if not as buttercotchy as it's
competition, wads incredibly simple to make.

A few days ago my wife made a few alterations on it and came up with an
entirely new dish that was really good.

She switched the brown sugar for white and cut back on the butter and
added a bit of vanilla extract. So it was now a vanilla pudding instead
of butterscotch, and the pudding itself was pretty good. But then she
dressed it up a little, topping it with grated lime zest and slivers of
candied ginger. It would never have occurred to me to do try that, and
I wasn't even sure it was a good idea. After tasting it I have to say it
was incredible.
