In The Kitchen With Our Christmas Pudding

Tweet

We just finished at long last and it's steaming away on the stove. Its a good thing that we only make Christmas Pudding once a year, because there are a lot of steps and someone always forgets one of them lol and has to stop to incorporate one of the ingredient that was forgotten. This morning, it was the butter that hubby remembered at the last minute. It wouldn't be Christmas Pudding if something wasn't forgotten each year. But let me give you a bit of background. Hubby was born in England and this is pretty much his tradition but it has become one that has become really special to me as well. Every October 31 we make our Christmas Dinner dessert... well one of them anyway. Not everyone likes Christmas Pudding (can't imagine lol) , so I usually come up with a second. Most people like Trifle so that is generally the second choice. But this year, there will be only three of us so he chose Chocolate Chip Oatmeal cookies... heavy on the chocolate chips. Very Heavy... As you can tell, we aren't leaving the house this year. Yesterday our Covid numbers went up yet again, so it makes sense to keep it just the three of us. I have also given some thought to how we will celebrate Christmas with the family later this year. If all goes well, we will all get together in July for a big picnic at our local park... presents and all. Oh, nearly forgot... we didn't forget the tradition of everyone in the household taking a turn stirring the Christmas Pudding and making a wish! Would love to hear some of your traditions if some come to mind!! ;) She Who Hates To Cook ;)
