I’m a day late, but I would like to wish all of my friends, customers and anyone who happens across this a happy festive season, whatever it is that you may or may not observe.
I’m spending the season with my family in rural South Australia. Above is a photograph of my family’s traditional Christmas pudding, as devoured after a long roast turkey lunch on Christmas Day. The pudding is a bit different to the regular ones as it’s quick and easy to cook, can be made on the day and – being a recipe from clearly poverty-stricken times – it has no eggs, no suet and cold tea for flavouring rather than alcohol. And, oddly enough, it’s delicious – especially when smothered in brandy sauce!
As the new year looms I hope all of you have a wonderful 2009. I’m certainly hoping for some major improvements on 2008, which has been a very difficult year for me personally.
Some succulents in my parents’ garden and their lovely bird tap – taken on Christmas Day.
Pudding sounds so delicious i could almost taste it. I wish you all best. Less difficult and more smoother, easy, simple 2009.
