Sunday Dinner

I didn't get pictures of all of it as by the time everything was cooked I just wanted to sit down and eat. The menu was:
Salad of cabbage, spinach and carrot
Roast Quorn with Roasted potatoes
Mushy peas
Yorkshire pudding
Bread with homemade butter
Steamed pudding with custard

Peas Soaking
Peas soaking


Potatoes await their fate

Is that magnificent edifice called Yorkshire Pudding? (Forgive my american ignorance).

No, Yorkshire pudding is really just a popover. I didn't get any pictures of that.

But that magnificent edifice is the steamed pudding. Basically a fruitcake that is steamed for three hours rather than baked. Steamed cakes need less fat too!

Yorkshire pudding, wonderful. Did you use make it vegetarian some how? I don't know how you would use pan drippings if you did.
Lovely xmas pudding. Mine is always rather dark and I LOVE lighting it.I steamed a brown bread for Thanksgiving this year and it was so easy and lovely, I shall do it this way all the time. Now Brown bread, beans and franks can be more 'homemade'.

I use butter in the pan for the puddings. I generally season the batter with cracked pepper (throw pepper corns in the blender with the eggs) and occasionally herbs like rosemary or sage.

My actual Christmas pudding is quite dark as well, and HEAVY (I could use it to work out!) The ones I make to be eaten that day tend to be lighter and have less sugar as they don't need to be preserved. That reminds me: I need to "feed" the pudding this weekend.

The London Trip - LONG POST

The Doc and I had the following email exchange yesterday: The Doc: I just noticed, I can't find your England Report on your blog, you say you will tell people what happened but I can't find the actual info Teru: Hmm, I should put that up, shouldn't I The Doc: Only if you want to go into details about your booty call ;-) Teru: Hmmm, I'm still uncertain about how much information I want to share on the web. It might get me more readers though :) The Doc: Don't mind what you tell people, let them know how badly I was at sex, I don't care... tell them how you got ill and had to be cared for. tell them about the time I ran out of money and had to ask for NTL to put my money back into my account. you have my consent. Anything you want. But most importantly of all you MUST tell people how much I love you, and how much I smiled and how much we kissed in public. Oh and don't forget the meet and the reading bit. Since he said I could tell all, so

The machine works!

I replaced the belt on the sewing machine last night, fired it up and she works a treat! I still haven't oiled anything yet, but I'm already planning a real, non-hankie project. I just ordered this skirt from Davenport and Company in Springfield. Fantastic email customer service by they way if you ever decide to order anything. This looks like it should be easy enough for me to muck about with using whatever fabric I can find around the house before I go buy something nice. The next project I'm contemplating is a vintage jumper with an Ubuntu logo embroidered on it for spouse. That will probably take a while though, and I still have a few other things to finish first. I promise I'll get the pictures of the tea cozies I made over Christmas plus the one I'm working on now.
