Stir-up Sunday?

[zazen999]

Neither do I...eugh.

Gimme a shout on Wind-up Wednesday and I can help out - but stir up sunday - nah!

Fair enough. I happen to like the taste and flavour of home-made christmas pudding - a bit like veggies, shop bought isn't the same!

I also enjoy keeping certain traditions - so will be stirring up our christmas pudding later today!

I'll be making puddings this afternoon They won't be traditional puds though as none of us like them, but gorgeous rich chocolate pudding, which freeze really well I usually put a couple of sixpences in for luck, but they're pre-wrapped in tin-foil!

I've got 4 Christmas cakes to make too, plus jars of mincemeat. Not forgetting the usual Mt Everest of washing to get through... Think I'd better start on the coffee!

Strange- when I've Googled the date it's come up with today and next Sunday!..I'm presuming today is the day folks!
I've actually bought our pudding- but have decided to enter into the spirit of things and an going to give the pudding a shake....now I know it's East to West - but is that clockwise or anticlockwise??????

Now that is convenient, I put all the fruit in a bowl yesterday to soak up the alcohol and will making it today. Had no idea it was stir up Sunday.

It's not often I get something done at the right time

Well that's it - 3 puddings, 4 Christmas cakes and 4 jars of mincemeat made. And enough washing done that we can all get dressed in the morning

Well done you! I was going to make puddings but didn't have any brandy - read that the fruit should have been soaked since yesterday and decided not to bother till next weekend!

Made mine last week. It smells grgeous. Well, I had to do something when the plasteres were in all day - couldn't go out so I got steaming for 6 hours (the pudding, not me !)

Still got to sort out a day for cake making.

Made mine last week also, it's wrapped up in the back of the larder cupboard now ready to take to the mother in law's for Christmas Day.

Cake's done also although about a month later than planned - problem is that I can only cook it at weekends as it takes so long and have had to sit up into the night far too many times waiting for the stupid thing to cook - puddings are much easier as I do them overnight in the slow cooker.
