Strosnider’s to the Rescue

Ooh, how I love my general store!  Strosnider’s, a quick, six block walk from home, my local True Value Hardware outlet, never fails me. Last week, instant success in my holiday quest for a pudding mold , essential for making a proper Christmas pudding. Steamer ? Check. Dried fruit? Check. Rum? Check. Spices, check. Flour? Check.  Sugar, check. Suet. . . .SUET!!!! Well, not so fast. I haven’t seen suet since the days my mom trimmed up her own, uh, “budget” cuts of beef.  Nigella Lawson substitutes butter.  Stay tuned.
