My apologies for the lateness of this posting.  I mailed it to the incorrect 
address last week.  I have been lurking for a couple of months and  I really 
enjoy the list.  Now for the Aztec Pudding,  Mexican Crema is difficult if
not impossible to find outside of Mexico and the American Southwest.  I
used to purchase it at Fiesta in Houston and Austin.  It is certainly
impossible to find in the god-forsaken-frozen-wasteland of central Alberta
that I now call home.  It is fairly easy, however to find a substitute.
Yoghurt will work, but it is not the preferable alternative.  I prefer
Creme Fraiche, which is almost exactly the same thing.  Another alternative
is to take a cup of whole cream warmed to room temperature, mix in two
tablespoons of buttermilk, place in a warm, 80 to 90 degree spot with a
loose cover for about a day and then refrigerate for a couple of hours.  It
should thicken up nicely and have an agreeably sour flavor.

Enjoy,

Wesley Dean
