Not To Be Trifled With

Fruit Cake, Triffle ... What next, Mince Pies and Xmas Pudding with brandy butter ... I sense a trend, a very good trend.

Mmmmm!!! That all takes me back to my youth, when such things all appeared with regularity around the holidays.

Eustace seems to be a fount of good traditional recipes. I'm waiting for the mince pie and christmas pudding ones. I'd like to hear his take on sausage rolls and yorkshire pudding too, though I don't really need that since my yorkshire mum already taught me how to do those.
I'm working on it. The sausage rolls are a bit of a problem, as my Mom made her own sausage, and it makes a _huge_ difference. My sister recently found a decent butcher in Alameda who isn't bad with sausage.
We never got into Yorkshire pudding; we usually had Goose for Christmas, and roast Beef for New Year's. By then, Mom was pooped. Roast Beef, roast potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower in Hollandaise sauce; just the basics.
Note- we did observe Boxing Day. Mom stayed off her feet; we kids handled the food. Sweet Irish pancakes and boxty, various easy baking things, and a cold-cut dinner.
The groan heard from my Mother upon entering the kitchen on the morning of the 27th could be heard throughout the neighborhood.

Thanks, davester;

Trifle is nice, but a Pavlova is nicer:

Once I saw the first two ingredients, I had a hunch.
Although it looks good, I bet it tastes _really_ good the next day when the cream and fruit juices have soaked into the meringue, and you make dog faces trying to use your tongue to scrape it off of the roof of your mouth.

(BTW, when I was a kid, I was curious as to just how one Creamed a Tartar...)
It is _really_, _really_ good.

By the way, you grab the Tartar around the neck and then throw a few punches...

I've a somewhat gentler idea for Milk Of Magnesia. Now, if I could only find a Magnesian who would cooperate...
