Salad of cabbage, spinach and carrot
Roast Quorn with Roasted potatoes
Mushy peas
Yorkshire pudding
Bread with homemade butter
Steamed pudding with custard

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

Look what I got!

Hey, kitty, what's in the box? Looks interesting. Could it be... Oh yeah! Sewing machine from the over-priced used furniture place next door! I didn't even haggle as it was only $30 and at least mostly works (we were only able to test the peddle in the shop.) First order of business, after cleaning it up a bit, will be to take the old, ripped sheets and make hankies. Yea! New toy!

Squash Blossoms

I haven't planted any squash this year (although some sort of marrow or melon is growing in the compost heap) but I saw some squash blossoms at the farmers' market on Tuesday and thought I'd give them a whirl. We have found that in the summer we consume less milk, but have not actually cut back on our milk order. This has been leaving us with a lot of extra milk at the end of the week and I've been trying to find ways to use it. Last week I made yogurt 1 and a few weeks ago I did a fresh cheese with herbs.The cheese was really yummy and easy so I opted to try that again and make stuffed squash blossoms. I do not have pictures of the cheese-making process, but it was quite easy. Gather random herbs from the garden (I used oregano, basil and sage) Chop said herbs Put milk and herbs into a pot and bring to a boil. Add 1 cup buttermilk (I make it from powder) Add 1/4 cup vinegar - the curds will separate almost instantly. Drain curds in cheesecloth. Ad
