There is Queen's pudding, which has a breadcrumb base with jam and meringue on top; and there is Eve's pudding which has an stewed apple base with a baked sponge on top (the same mixture as for Victorian sponge cake, but put on top of the stewed apples and then baked in the oven.) In other words, there are two different desserts, one with white breadcrumbs and meringue and one with apples and sponge. <br />Margaret Pgalanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2112395216287528954.post-1158309897731421042011-03-01T23:46:15.744+00:002011-03-01T23:46:15.744+00:00I'm intrigued by the Queen of eve's puddin...I'm intrigued by the Queen of eve's pudding, I have never heard of it but it sounds good...

We also just bought Julia Child's cookbook, and were quite the sight this past Sunday huddled over the stove together trying to make our first poached eggs. They actually turned out well, but if anyone had seen our overly scientific timing methods and the super intense look on husband's face they would have laughed and laughed!hip hip gin ginhttp://www.hiphipgingin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2112395216287528954.post-4607526022585772012011-02-28T19:22:33.036+00:002011-02-28T19:22:33.036+00:00What a very busy month!

But we have visited a delightful Arts & Crafts house with a view to my writing an article about it; seen The King's Speech and agreed with all the accoldates; baked cakes (mainly Victoria sponges filled with raspberries & cream, or lemon drizzle cake, or rock buns); walked by the sea; read South Riding (and bought several new books, including the latest interiors book by William Yeoward; and visited my first car boot fair (not a very good one, sadly, but at least I'm not a rookie booty any longer!)<br />Margaret PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2112395216287528954.post-71678542756018291622011-02-28T18:49:17.690+00:002011-02-28T18:49:17.690+00:00oh Verity can I remember?
