Warning: not for those on diets!

OK, if you have clicked on this thread I can safely assume that you are either not on the dreaded D-word or else the victim of your own curiosity. You will not be surprised, knowing me, to discover that this is a special treat for the serious chocoholic. So this is what you do:

1. Go to the site of my friend Patrick, [evergreen.27names.org].

2. Click on "Cuisine". (If you're like me and you work in several small browsers concurrently, you may need to drag down the lower edge of the browser window to find it, because this site doesn't automatically size itself to the browser.)

3. Scroll down until you reach "Deadly Chocolate Pudding".

4. Print it off.

5. Provide yourself with the necessary ingredients.

6. Make, eat and enjoy.

WARNING! This pudding is so good that it cannot be properly described without the aid of a first-class thesaurus.

Any comments will be duly passed back to Patrick. Have fun!

Did I do the right thing? All I got was a page on Apache software. Have I been jipped? Did I stuff up? Where's the chocolate pudding?

Don't get between me and chocolate. I can get violent. I live within sight of the Australian Cadbury factory for a reason, you know!

Apache software?!

You may have been dumped somewhere other than the home page, for some reason. Patrick's site is a bit unconventional. If you're on the right site, the bar at the top of your browser will contain the words "Hoom hom". Try looking for a link that says "Home".

I'm not enough of a webgeek to understand all the technical whys and wherefores, but I do know that it's not possible to direct people to a specific page on Patrick's site, hence all the instructions to click and scroll. I also know that Patrick is a Mac user, if that's relevant in any way.

Anyway, I'll ask him if he knows what's going on, and see if he can help.

Patrick says his site is not fully php-compliant (whatever the heck that means), and if anyone is having trouble finding the recipes there is an indexed list here:

[evergreen.27names.org]

However, the names aren't terribly informative (I've looked), so you'll have to hunt, I'm afraid. I'll try and identify the right one myself later when I have a bit of time, but if anyone is bored and wants to have a look through in the meantime, I'd be really grateful if they would post the title of the correct recipe - thanks!
