Christmas turkeys

The turkeys were back this morning, and it looks like all the snow has made it hard for them to find food. They looked a bit more frantic as they found the corn that Tom had tossed out around the bird feeder and a few crumbs left over from the figgy pudding.

Yes, we did indeed have figgy pudding -- the stuff in "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" -- homemade by Helen and served with a special whipped cream sauce or with rum raisin ice cream. In Great Britain, pudding is a term that can refer to any dessert, and figgy pudding is more like a cake or like banana bread, steamed in a special mold. The picture is of a large chunk of figgy pudding, and ours looked about like that, only the figs were darker, making it look better in my opinion.

I didn't get your gift out soon enough for you to get it. I apologize for that. I'm usually not that way. Please expect it this week. (: Love you!
