Started making my Christmas Pudding.
Yesterday spent time weighing things and chopping things. Finally left the dried fruit soaking overnight in guinness, rum and orange & lemon Juice.
This morning up early 7am to start the mixing. They will take 10 hours to cook so early start necessary. By 9 am all mixed and four pudding basins filled and suitably covered. Big pot on the hob and the water just coming to the boil to steam the puddings.
Carried the four pudding basins to the hob on a tray, balanced the tray on the spare jets on the hob. Picked up the first basin to put in the pot and the tray with the other three slides gracefully off the hob onto the worksurface. Manage to elbow two of them towards the back of the worksurface but the fourth basin slides off drops onto the tiled floor. Smashes into dozens of pieces.
No way I would risk fishing out the broken glass shards, son into the bin with it and now cooking the other three.
As I need four I recon I shall be making more next week.
How anoying !
If Isaac Newton hadn't invented gravity wouldn't have happened.
