Custard
Custard is a variety of culinary preparations based on a cooked mixture of milk or cream and egg yolk. Depending on how much egg or thickener is used, custard may vary in consistency from a thin pouring sauce (crème anglaise) to a thick pastry cream (crème pâtissière) used to fill éclairs. Most common custards are used as desserts or dessert sauces and typically include sugar and vanilla. Custard bases may also be used for quiches and other savory foods. Sometimes flour, corn starch, or gelatin is added as in pastry cream or crème pâtissière.
Custard is usually cooked in a double boiler (bain-marie), or heated very gently in a saucepan on a stove, though custard can also be steamed, baked in the oven with or without a water bath, or even cooked in a pressure cooker. Custard preparation is a delicate operation, because a temperature increase of 3-6 °C (5–10 °F) leads to overcooking and curdling. Generally, a fully cooked custard should not exceed 80 °C (176 °F); it begins setting at 70 °C (158 °F). A water bath slows heat transfer and makes it easier to remove the custard from the oven before it curdles.

Custard (band)
Custard are an Australian indie rock band formed in 1990 in Brisbane, Australia. The band is colloquially known as "Custaro" due to frequent misreadings of its name.
History
Formation
The band was originally known as "Custard Gun" and featured David McCormack on vocals and guitar, Paul Medew on bass, James Straker (later in The Melniks) on guitar and Shane Brunn (who later formed Hugbubble and Vanlustbader) on drums. After a few shows and line up changes (namely Straker being replaced by Matthew Strong) Custard Gun morphed into Custard.
Early 1990's: Buttercup/Bedford
Custard's first release was the four track vinyl EP Rockfish Anna, which was issued in November 1990. A fire breathing Elvis impersonator was part of the EP's launch festivities.
Custard's debut album, Buttercup/Bedford, was recorded in 1991. It was meant to be released on CD in March 1992, but things went awry. Unfortunately, the CDs never turned up on time for the album launch - forcing them to give away copies of the album away on cassettes to keep the punters happy. It wasn't until the end of 1992 that the band finally got their hands on the elusive CDs. By this time Custard had signed to Ra Records and had released their first "major label" CD - an EP called Gastanked.

Sunrise
by: CustardHere we are living in this glorious time Go on celebrating and show ´em your pride Look what we´ve done look what we´ve reached Oh I think no one can see
And what we all do for our luxury Raping the forests and poison the seas I think there´ s nothing we wouldn´t do If the result may be good
Bridge But in the end of all Mother Nature's standing tall From a distance it looks still all right Just when you get too close You can see the overdose And as well the marks we left behind
We all have our wishes, we all have our dreams We don´t see the signs, don´t know what they mean We close our eyes and live further on As the world owns us alone
And so the resources are not rare enough At war they throw bombs on the oil-springs, oh god Is this the end, we´re heading for In anger and fear all alone
Bridge
horus As long the world´s turning, the sun keeps on burning The greed in our hearts will keep us apart The Chance of tomorrow is my greatest sorrow So come on, unite and let the sun rise again
Solo
What is our aim, we´re heading for What is our aim, we´re heading for
Don´t lose the illusion of changing the way Fight the insanity stands in our way Don´t follow the mainstream - resist as you can In future they may understand
How long can we live in those glorious times No one can say when we´ll cross the line Of no return from our point of view And the sun hit the sea the last time
Bridge
