Stir-up Sunday
. . . is today, but I haven't made my own pudding yet. (I have bought the ingredients. I am going Sarah Freeman, and that means suet. I shall be testing it at book group.) I did however stir someone else's pudding, and made a wish, so it's OK. Tomorrow I am making chicken broth for invalids. This weekend I have eaten home-made baklava (not by me) which was suitably sweet and calorie-laden, and my first mince pies of the season, from Konditor & Cook, which were outstanding. I know, it sounds like the training diet of an Olympic rower.

What's all that about then? Is that the day when you make your Xmas puds???
ReplyDeleteYes that's what it is. It is the first Sunday of Advent - actually I have just checked and it is the twenty-fifth Sunday after Trinity, but the principle's the same. The Collect for that day begins, "Stir up, we beseech thee, O Lord, the wills of thy faithful people . . ."
ReplyDeleteCake and religion, what a lovely combination.
