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!
catherineholm! I might have to steal that when I come to Glasgow! x
ReplyDeleteI 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
DeleteLOVE the glass dish and the catherineholm - great colours! x
ReplyDeleteThanks Caroline- I am loving the 70's greens and oranges just now! Jx
DeleteMy 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.
ReplyDeleteThank You! I still can't believe my luck! I am sure one will show up sometime for you too. The pudding tasted a bit like childhood so that was nice. Jo x
DeleteHEllo there - found you via A Quiet Corner - lovely blog! THe old cookery book is brilliant, I love the cover so much. My mum makes Lemon Surprise Pudding which sounds a lot like the one you made and it is wonderful. Lucky MiL! Gillian x
ReplyDeleteHi Gillian- Really lovely to have you here and that you commented. Yes the pudding was a hit- not too lemony and quite custardy! Yum! Jo x
DeleteThanks for your lovely comment it was my pleasure to include you in my blog list! I only ever list blogs that I love and read! Love that catherineholm and the fabric behind the book too!x
ReplyDeleteThanks Rebecca that is so nice you like this wee space- I enjoy doing it. Great to virtually meet lovely people like yourself. The fabric is an old tea towel- Its too nice to use! Jo x
Deleteo my, I love the whole mid-century feel of this post! and the cookbook fonts hee hee.. the orange mousse sounds promising too!
ReplyDeleteLove the name of 'magic lemon pudding'! Would love to see a picture of it if you ever make it again :)
ReplyDeleteI 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
Deletei had to comment on that plat and bowl set. what gorgeous colour and pattern.
