Plum Pudding, a Free Chart, and a Band Sampler

  Photo by  Matt Seymour  on  Unsplash My local classical music station has been serenading me with Christmas music and carols this month. It’s absolutely wonderful. While I might not be posting to the blog very much over the 12 Days of Christmas, I do plan on kicking back and watching a Christmas special from my favorite shows for each of the 12 Days. With a hot beverage and a warm blanket, of course. We’ve stocked the Castle Larder with Turkey, so we’ll be eating a lot of Turkey. Lots and lots of Turkey, in addition to the absolutely essential metric ton of Christmas cookies. All this talk of Christmas food since December began has inspired me to start designing a Christmas pudding chart for next year. While I’ve never had a traditional Christmas pudding that gets set on fire (really) I would absolutely be game for trying one out. This video shows you how to make one, and gives a fascinating history of the dish as well.  Stitching continues on the Lion. Medieval Menagerie by Fox and
