I'm so excited - I've just found out there are some kind (maybe mad?) people out there who are actually reading my posts and thank you so much to David Chin from New Zealand for bothering to write a comment. I'm still baffled as to how people have come across my blog as the search engines are still proving to be oblivious of my existence. All I can assume is that the 'Next Blog' button is giving me a helping hand.
This afternoon my little boy announced that I needed to make him a pudding. Fair enough but when he says pudding he means proper home made Apple Crumble. Luckily my neighbour has given me some apples from the tree in her garden so I had everything I needed but I just didn't fancy Crumble. Instead we made Baked Apple and Almond Pudding. Don't report me to Trading Standards but as long as I still called it Crumble he was quite happy and did a fantastic job mixing the sugar, butter and eggs with the electric whisk. Unfortunately we forgot to add the ground almonds before I spread the topping over the apple. It would have been impossible to try and get the topping back off the apple so we had to sprinkle the almonds over the top and mix them in as best we could. Despite this faux pas the pudding tasted fab although it did seem to have a layer of what I can only describe as egg custard just below the slightly caramelised topping. Nethertheless my son had three helpings and his sisters and I finished off the rest.
Not sure how I can go from a mundane recount of what we had for tea tonight to mentioning the rescue of the Chilean miners which is still going on as I type (I think 25 have been freed out of 33 so far) but what an uplifting story this is and what a gift for Hollywood!
