This past weekend we went away on a little holiday up to the Hunter Valley region. We stayed in the most beautiful lodges overlooking the valley as far as the eye could see. It was just amazing.

It was John's birthday on the Thursday leading up to it, so I asked what sort of Birthday Cake he would like me to make...but no cake...Lemon Puddings. I was secretly hoping for a spectacular layer cake because I never really have the chance to make them; but these little puddings were so so delicious and light that I am glad he didn't want a cake! A fluffy, warm citrus top followed by a tangy, creamy sauce as you dig deeper. It was a bit of an ordeal because I had to take my handheld electric mixer on holiday...but really I don't think anyone who knows me would be surprised it was invited too!

You know, I think I have developed a bit of a fondness for lemons. Lemon is actually the common name for Citrus Limon. Sounds nice like that I think. I like that you can use the juice, and the flesh and the zest of the Citrus Limon. I hate to waste food, especially fresh produce...so it makes me happy. Yellow makes me happy too.
