In some situations it feels a bit embarrassing, like people will think I've never grown up ... but I've also met quite a few people who feel the same, and do it whenever they can get away with it!Johanna Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09268918125129111587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902168275407156373.post-73573589369957666942011-11-03T16:52:33.706+13:002011-11-03T16:52:33.706+13:00I have to say that I like creamy puddings, I call ...I have to say that I like creamy puddings, I call them spoon dessert, but they are eaten with a small spoon in Italy, not the pudding spoon used for English style puddings with custard (I also guess because our puddings come in smaller portions, so smaller spoons are needed :-). I am glad that she did this for special occasions, I could have gone to her house and have this, while usually I am "scared" of Kiwi puddings, the hot ones with cream or custard in big bowl and with big spoons :-)!!!<br /><br />Ciao<br />A.Alessandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12616072198034545392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902168275407156373.post-87887115291649024532011-11-03T13:31:24.065+13:002011-11-03T13:31:24.065+13:00OMG - I googled and here they are!

When I was little my mother corresponded with a Canadian cousin, who periodically sent Mum a pile of McCall's magazines. The big excitement for my sister and me was the paper dolls and clothes that came with each one. They were like none we ever saw here. Perhaps paper dolls were a big Canadian thing?Callyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18365519986239394807noreply@blogger.com
