MYRTLE
I am puzzled. I often get puzzled, so I don't mind. I drew something that I don't know what it was. Do you know?
I drew some animals. They weren't animals that are on our island. I think it's something to do with She of the Stories. There was a squirrel coloured thing with a big tail, but it wasn't a squirrel because it walked on all fours and had a pointy face and I didn't like it. There was a crawly thing, a jumpy thing, and a bird with a very long beak. And frogs, I knew about the frogs. Do you know anything about them?
I've been asking about the trumpet, too. Mistress Cott says she'll come to look at it. I think she knows something about it.
We bought strawberries, raspberries and cherries today, and picked gooseberries from the garden. I like it in the House of Stories. She says she should make a Summer Pudding one day, and then she said she had an American family to dinner once and they'd never heard of Summer Pudding before. Have you?

No... I don't think I have. Does it involve berries? Sounds like some recipes still haven't made their way across the water yet.
Summer Pudding? I've never heard of it, but it sounds lovely!
I haven't heard of Summer Pudding either.
My parents visited England about thirty years ago. They stayed with a lovely elderly couple who were actually newlyweds! The lady made an English Trifle for them during their stay. Mother brought the recipe home and it has been a favorite treat for us ever since!
Have you ever heard of a Pig Pickin Cake???
Summer Pudding on next post. Trifle is pretty good, too, and everyone has their own way of making it.
PIG PICKIN CAKE! What's that?
A Pig Pickin Cake is a favorite dessert after a southern BBQ.
Pig Pickin Cake
1 box yellow cake mix
1 11 oz can of mandarin oranges with juice
1 cup of vegetable oil
4 eggs
Mix all of the above for 2 minutes with mixer. Bake at 350 degrees in 3 round cake pans for 20 minutes. Remove from pans and cool
Frosting:
1 large tub of cool whip
1 box of instant vanilla pudding
1 15 oz can of crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup chopped pecans
Mix all together and frost cake.
Refrigerate.
That sounds amazing! I don't recognise all the ingredients, but I suppose 'yellow cake mix' is like any packet Victoria sponge mix? Cool whip, I suppose, is something like whipping cream? And the vanilla pudding, is that something you whip up with milk?
I wondered if you would have some of the ingredients over there.
Victoria Sponge - I think is the same as a yellow cake mix.
Cool whip is similar to birds dream topping, but it comes already mixed and keeps in the frig.
I couldn't find instant pudding though.
I'm going to make the summer pudding this weekend; it sounds yum!
