We have had some lovely days since the beginning of November and the nets are still up at the tennis courts. Bonus!!
Today was the day to make the Christmas Plum Pudding so the grandkids came over to make not one but two puddings, one to leave here to mature for the Christmas lunch and the other to take home for their pre-Christmas dinner.
Four people in the kitchen was three too many so I stepped back and let them get on with it, merely supplying the odd tip or suggestion. It certainly looked good when it went into the mold to be steamed so I am sure it will turn out perfectly.
That sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteWe will have to wait a while to find out how it tastes but it did smell good.
DeleteNovember has indeed been glorious. That sounds like fun with the Grandkids, baking traditional treats for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteA bit chaotic but I was glad of the helping hands when it came time to give it a good stir.
DeleteI can just taste it now, it sounds delish, extra special with all that love stirred in too.
ReplyDeleteMy M-I-L used to make a lovely pudding, with rum better sauce, or caramel sauce.
No one in the family likes them here.
We all like it here but some especially like it fried the next day for breakfast.
DeleteMy mother used to make her own Christmas Puds and we had them with brandy butter. Emphasis on the brandy! No one likes them now so I buy a small one and dream of Christmas' past.
ReplyDeleteI had to go easy on the brandy but will add a bit as the month progresses.
DeleteSounds like your stir it up was loads of fun. Cold, windy and snowy here, no tennis courts open at all.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Ours are now closed - frost on the roofs this morning!
