Till Tuesday




Not the usual amount of photos today, sorry. The kiddos wouldn't stay still in the house and we were out and about a lot today at playgroup, the library, the shops! Tried really hard to day to make every minute count with the kids before back to work and nursery tomorrow.

I cooked Magic Lemon pudding for the first time after being just about to cook Lisa-Marie's beautiful looking lemon cake I found myself reading my Mum's cookery book and was waylaid a bit by this pudding. My MIL comes for dinner on a Tuesday and she does love a pudding. Anyway suffice to say the magic works- sauce and sponge appeared- although I may add a little more flour next time to try and make the sponge a bit more substantial. Oh and it worked with oat milk and vegan spread which is good to know!

1. Gratuitous shot of new glass dish (thrifted at weekend in Perth) with my treasured catherineholm creeping into shot!
2. My Mum's much loved and used 70's cookery book.
3. Lemon pudding that we made today!

    1. I know! I still can't get over my luck at finding it!! Surely you must have heard me wittering on about it before! Ok enough- Sure you will find one sometime. I am proof that they can just randomly appear out of nowhere for pennies! Jxx

  3. My partner is a boot sale fiend, he's not that into vintage stuff but I have shown him catherineholm bowls and given him strict instructions to snap up anything with that design - no luck yet! You're a very lucky woman Jo. I've got a weakness for 70s recipe books too, like the sound of that pudding. Yum.

    1. I know Zoe, the post is missing a wee picture- its just that tea time is a bit like feeding time at the zoo here and very little patience for Mummy's pictures is extended by hungry kiddos!! Jx
