Hi Everyone
Am now on a break and will be left to my one devices on the cooking front. Here’s a story…
For a very long time I used to cook Christmas puddings as gifts. A large number of them. Then about five years ago I stopped because I’d stopped enjoying cooking them. I vowed to never cook them again.
This year I was asked by an elderly friend to cook one. I agreed to. I candied the fruit for 10days, soaked the fruit in alcohol for a further 5days, took 2.5hours to prepare the pudding mix and tins (I made 2 from the one batch) and finally cooked them on the stovetop for 4.5hours. To my surprise I really enjoyed myself in cooking them.
One of the puddings was “promised” as a contribution to a Christmas function. I hesitated as I didn’t want to give it away to those that may not appreciated. I’m not looking for worship, just perhaps some thank you’s. Anyways after a lengthy discussion with those relevant I’ve agreed to still give it to them.
See how we go.
