Do you know a good recipe for Christmas pudding? It's standard fayre here in the UK but I'm not sure they have them abroad. It's like a steamed pudding, very rich and heavy. Like Xmas cake but heavier, richer and the brandy keeps more of its kick....
I love the ideas in your blog. Have a great 2007,
