Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done.
[Jim Rohn]

 

Watermelon --it's a good fruit. You eat, you drink, you wash your face.
[ Enrico Caruso]

Fruits are acceptable gifts, because they are the flower of commodities, and admit of fantastic values being attached to them. If a man should send to me to come a hundred miles to visit him, and should set before me a basket of fine summer-fruit, I should think there was some proportion between the labor and the reward.
[ Ralph Waldo Emerson]

Boiled Plumb Pudding

 

Ingredients

1 lb suet
1 lb currants
1 lb raisins
8 egg
4 egg white
6 cup bread crumbs
1 tbsp nutmeg
1 tsp ginger
1 salt
1 lb flour
1 pt milk



 

Preparation

Cut suet in little pieces. Beat the eggs, then half the milk, beat
them together, and by degrees stir in the flour and bread together,
then the suet, spice and fruit, and as much milk as will mix it all
well together and very thick.

Wet a large muslin cloth (3 foot square) and rub with flour inside
and out. Drape it into a bowl large enough to hold the pudding mix.
Pour the mixture in and tie up the muslin ends tightly, leaving the
pudding in a large ball with some room for expansion. When tying the
neck, leave long enough ends on the cords so you can knot a loop.
Suspend the pudding in a large kettle or stock pot of boiling water,
hanging the loop from a long wooden spoon straddling the open top of
the pot, and boil five hours. Check water level frequently. It
evaporates quickly.

When done, wrap in a clean muslin cloth and douse with 1/4 cup rum or
brandy. Check weekly and add additional rum or brandy if it appears
dry.
