Let the countdown commence!

One of the Christmas traditions in the Homer household is the making of the Christmas pudding - see "Monday munchies" entry last year

this year was no different, and over the weekend preparations began. First the dried fruit was soaked in alcohol overnight. Then the rest of the ingredients were added. And the most important part? The stirring! For 'good luck' everyone in the household has to give it a stir and make a wish:



Yey!

On TV tonight was Delia's Classic Christmas. I loved it! It made me start to feel a little bit excited about Xmas this year. She was saying that sometimes people think they don't like Christmas pudding, but that's because they've only ever had shop-bought ones, and that if you have a homemade one it's miles different- better!

And I know what you mean about "Joan Holloway" aka Christina Hendricks; her body is literally out of this world!

Yum! That looks like one yummy Christmas pudding. We wonder what everyone wished for...? We also wonder if there's anything "extra" in the pudding - like puggie snorts!
