What is it about ice storms and cold that sends me running for a spoon and bowl? I can't seem to stop making pudding this winter. This evening, after dinner, Mr. Magpie said, "So, what kind will it be tonight?" The man knows me so well. What kind, indeed. A simple chocolate it was. No whipped cream or fancy sprinkles. Just the pudding, plain and pure. Other nights it's been butterscotch. Next week it will probably be banana (trust me when I say this recipe's special . . . and decadent). I can barely wait.
P.S. Aren't those sweet polka-dot pudding cups? My sister found them for me at Goodwill about a hundred years ago, and I've used them nearly every time I've made pudding since then. My sister's the best.
We are a pudding family, too. My son asks for it almost every evening after dinner. Love those dessert cups! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet pictures! Yes, pudding sounds just right right now.
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous pudding bowls, Gigi! I am a definite pudding queen, myself. Oh to reach into your photo for a scoop of deliciousness! xxoo
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say that I have never given pudding much of a thought during this life of mine, but after reading this post . . . I feel as if I've cheated myself out of something amazing! (I may even have to give this recipe a try this weekend!!!!) Your photography is just beautiful . . . LOVEly blog!!! I'm a friend of Betty's and just wanted to stop by and say hi!
ReplyDeleteOh!yes!pudding!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the weather for it here. I'm going to have to make some now....! xxx
Dearest Gigi,
ReplyDeleteOh, that's exactly what I've been doing; cooking custard and soups... so good for winter time!
Your sister found you perfect glasses for serving your pudding.
Love to you,
Mariette
looks heavenly, Gigi!
ReplyDeleteSuch fab finds from Goodwill...i haven't been there for ages! I used to find lovely vintage scarves from there!
Love the pudding cups! I would probably be more inclined to fill them with ice cream! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, Tracy, they've seen plenty of ice cream (and gelato and sorbet) in their day, too! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVELY glasses... that actually remind me of something similar my Mom used to have. I love old glass. I've never been much for pudding, almost I would never say no to a slice of a chocolate pudding pie, say. ;o) My husband loves pudding. I recently found a recipe for a simple vanilla pudding I just might try--for him. :o) Thanks for something sweet today, Gigi. Happy Weekend, my friend ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteI love the bubbleglass!
ReplyDeleteGrapenut pudding is my go to pudding...but I haven't made it in years! I think I just may have to make some soon:) Love these polka dot beauties!
ReplyDeleteYour pudding dishes are delightful. I haven't made pudding in for ever. Now it is sounding very tempting.
ReplyDeleteI gasped when I saw those pudding cups. Isn't it such a continual delight when we use things that were such perfect gifts? Isn't it such a blessing to have friends and family who know us so well?
