The brainchild of Arlee Bird, at Tossing it Out
|
I have to take a moment to comment on P and Pond Pudding. Hilary’s post intrigued me so much that I had to try her Pond Pudding recipe. To recap: first, you beat the lemons with sugar, then you heat the cream and pour it into a teapot. Standing up as high as is safe (note the footstool with my lovely toes showing) and drip, drip, drop, drop, splat the cream into the lemon mix. Voila! Frothy Pond Pudding. We had it for dessert the next night and it was delicious–very rich, so I’d advise small and infrequent quantities. Also its a good idea to warn your significant other about what you’re doing. My husband thought I’d gone over the edge when he found me in the kitchen on the footstool. “Just cooking, dear!” I said. His look was priceless.

Now about R:
Rambunctious
Whenever I read this word I see characters like Maniac McGee or Dory from Finding Nemo who “Just [keeps] swimming. Just [keeps] swimming.”
Denise the Menace was one of the most rambunctious characters Ketcham ever created. And his ADHD antics kept us all entertained.
And what about Pippi Longstocking? How this chatterbox charmed us with her impulsive, rambunctious nature.
I love rambunctious characters! I love the word rambunctious!

Bish Denham says
Rambunctious puppies come to mind. Seems like a rambunctious way to make pudding. I see splashes on the floor. π
Carrie Butler says
Thanks for sharing your pudding experiment with us! π
Nas says
I also noted Hilary's pudding recipe and will be making it! But I will add in the raisins too!
Mark Means says
Dennis is the perfect personification of the word 'rambunctious' π
Diana Wilder says
I'm going to make the pudding, by golly. I will stand on that stool (having first polished my toenails) and will chant 'Just keep pouring! Just keep pouring!'
Great post! (Now I'm hungry for lemon…)
Old Kitty says

Dennis The Menace is the perfect choice for your R word!
Rambunctious is quite a mouthful and Dennis is definitely a handful!

Hi Lee .. thanks so much for playing with the pond – and your hubby even enjoyed it! Amazing – please thank him for being such a good sport …
My mother I guess decided her daughter was in a rambunctious mood when the decision was made all those years ago to give this pudding a try ..
Her daughter can get uncontrollably exuberant, boisterous, rumbustious … especially when balancing up a ladder, which I did use … but it was fun and we laughed … be patient to try it was challenging!
Thanks Lee for giving some excellent feed back and endorsement to the pond from across the pond .. this post will be linked over now .. cheers to you .. Hilary

I haven't thought of Pippi in years! She definitely embodies the word.
DMS says

Oh my goodness, I read her post and wanted to make it but didn't. I will live vicariously through you, if I may. π
Awesome!
Karen Jones Gowen says
Now I must go check out that pudding recipe! Love your photos lol.
Laura Eno says
ROFL! I can't believe you tried making it! I told Hilary I'd love to eat it but I'd never bother with the fuss. That must have been hilarious to watch. Sounds scrumptious.
Carol Kilgore says
I'd say you making that pond pudding brings a whole new meaning to rambunctious!
Ink in the Book says
Rambunctious describes MY kids to a T!
Jemi Fraser says
Love rambunctious characters! Even love them in my classroom – lots of fun! π
C. Lee McKenzie says
You have a ready supply of the rambunctious!
Medeia Sharif says
Interesting. I've never heard of a recipe that calls for that.
C. Lee McKenzie says
I don't think many of us have; that's why I had to try it!
Samantha May says
Ha! No big deal, just cooking. That's awesome π
Pippi Longstocking is rambunctious! I dressed up as her for Halloween when I was about 6 or 7. My mom put a hanger in my hair to make my braids stick out. Obviously, I won that costume contest π
C. Lee McKenzie says
Pippi was wonderful and I'll bet you were great with those braids and stockings!
Lexa Cain says
Woohoo! Yay for a successful conclusion to your pudding adventure! Sadly, my husband is not a fan of my cooking adventures. I have to admit, they're pretty scary. If I can mis-measure, mis-season, or mismanage the dish in any way, rest assured I will. π
C. Lee McKenzie says
How are you at balancing on a stool? This may be a chance for you to shine!
M Pax says
I can only envision what the Husband Unit and cats' reactions would be if I did that. Sounds yummy. I get yelled at enough for working in the semi dark… but I'm used to working w/o light up at the observatory.
Dennis was definitely a spitfire.
C. Lee McKenzie says
Here's to being idiosyncratic. I love people like you.
L. Diane Wolfe says
I can only envision the mess I would've made!
C. Lee McKenzie says
Yep. Have a mop handy is part of the recipe.
Angela Brown says
Rambunctious is the word I often use to refer to my Chipmunk. Very fitting at times lol!!
C. Lee McKenzie says
Chipmunk kind of implies that word, doesn't it?
Al Diaz says
Geez! I would have paid anything to be there when you were cooking!
C. Lee McKenzie says
Cooks need many skills. With Hilary's pudding, balance was the key.
DEZMOND says
lol I can imagine the look on your hubs π
C. Lee McKenzie says
But loved the pudding.
Alex J. Cavanaugh says
So her pudding recipe worked? I'm sure your husband did wonder why you were on the chair.
Hilary will be happy to know you tried it!
C. Lee McKenzie says
The pudding got rave reviews. I know she'll love hearing that.
