My Favorite Things . . .

 

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens . . . these are some of the things in life that I enjoy, and which make me happy, inspire me, or put a smile on my face. Maybe some of them are yours too.  Let's share!

Malva Pudding


In the English Kitchen today I am sharing an old recipe for Malva Pudding. This is a recipe that I got from my friend Tina several years back. It's South African and delicious! A sweet cake soaked in a creamy butter syrup. Served warm, spooned into bowls with lashings of cream, custard or a scoop of ice cream.

I hope you have a beautiful day today. One week down. Counting the days and enduring. Each night when I say my prayers I thank God for three blessings received during the day just spent. That is helping. Focusing on the good. I will try to get to emails and comments today.  

Don't forget!

  1. Lots of lovely favourites, Marie. If you have passed the kidney stone, maybe you could have the stent removed earlier than the six weeks? Hope so. Love and hugs, Elaine

  4. Love embroidered linens, finished off an embroidery project while it was snowing the other day, found another one to work on in my stitching bag. Digging out again after lots of snow yesterday, Hope you are continuing to improve.
