Re: Christmas puddings and other traditions
My aunt would make us a steamed pudding every year, pudding with hard sauce over it. The wife and I shared a small bit of pudding last night -- her first experience. She was not impressed.
I inherited my aunt's pudding steamer, so, having been reminded, I think I should dig it out and make some.
The Yule Log looks like something I should have been making as a Christmas tradition -- but haven't. This appears to be an excellent New Year's Resolution!
