Thought I'd quickly share with those who actually bother to read even some of my stuff (I know its been a while, its the Vodka, plays havoc with the Sinus), a Christmass recipe in the true spirit of a sharing Caring Mankind. Its essential to engage a conflubulated spirit of the coming Xmas season before reading. A key part of the coming festivities is of course the obligatory Xmas Pudding, which needs to be prepared at least one month in advance of this festive season to mature. Its therefore appropriate for those who can be bothered even reading my "column" to be given a fail safe recipe for Christmass cheer and goodwill.

It's that time of year again with Christmas looming fast and I was thinking the other day that it was time to make the christmas pudding. So, I fished out a good recipe and I thought I'd share it with you. Being Alcoholic is not essential, but will certainly help :)

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 cup water
1 tsp. salt
1 cup brown sugar
Lemon juice
4 large eggs
Nuts
1 Case of Vodka

Method:

Sample a cup of Vodka to check quality.Take a large bowl, check the Vodka again to be sure it is of the highest quality then Repeat. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point, it is best to make sure the Vodka is still OK. Try another cup just in case. Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 eegs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Pick the fruit up off the floor, wash it and put it in the bowl a piece at a time trying to count it. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit getas stuck in the beaterers, just pry it loose with a drewscriver Sample the Vodka to test for tonsisticity. Next, sift 2 cups of salt, or something. Check the Vodka.
