I can just imagine the wondrous smells in your kitchen during cooking. I love a nice warm kitchen on a winter’s day when such things are being cooked, but just thought, its not winter for you is it. Can’t get used to that you know!<BR/><BR/>Mum used to put silver three-penny pieces in her puddings, that was before decimilisation of course and they were still currency. My brother and I were allowed to keep them and spend. I saved them for a while and had them put on a bracelet. Goodness, those were the days. I think Mums would be ill advised to carry out such a practice now due to health & safety, but we never came to any harm.

It was so good she started selling it at Christmas time in California. It became so popular that she began exporting it to other states. She bought a large building and hired on some staff just to keep up with the demand. Today her Christmas Pudding is sold all over the US and Canada and she is a multimillionair. It was some good Christmas pudding. <BR/>Sooooo pudding can make you millions if it is really good.<BR/><BR/>HehehehWendyAshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07892416853791141965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10597769.post-1163481874165096942006-11-14T16:24:00.000+11:002006-11-14T16:24:00.000+11:00Kerri and Stuart - no coins, notes or credit cards...Kerri and Stuart - no coins, notes or credit cards, I'm afraid.
