I am sitting on my deck in Upper Marlboro MD enjoying what I’d like to call a beautiful Indian Summer day...but upon reading the criteria, I realize I shouldn’t be using that oh-so-descriptive term of my youth. I’m 73 yrs old and have used this term all my life to describe an unusually warm, quiet, cloudless, day with many of the brilliant leaves still on the trees (that is a “must” for my personal use of the term)! Today 11/8/20, is not hazy and we’ve not had a first frost, so I guess it doesn’t qualify as a true Indian Summer day. I only know I’d really like for this perfect Autumn day to linger, stay on and on. But alas, I know that won’t happen!
Thank you for the definition, the photos, and the Indian Pudding recipe. I adore Indian Pudding and had almost forgotten about it completely til now! Yea! I will compare my “early American” recipe with yours (which sounds like the one I have) and make some pronto! I am a native “jersey girl” and acquired a set of early American receipts-as they called them, from Smithville Village in southern NJ, over 50 years ago.
