Puddings and Trebouchets

Claire and Randall Nathan went to the Cub Scout persimmon pudding auction last night. Each Cub was to create a special persimmon pudding presentation, with no help from anyone else, to be auctioned, the proceeds to go toward Thanksgiving food for those in need.

Randall and Claire and Johnny’s parents both wanted Johnny’s creation, a deep-fried pudding omelette covered in chocolate in the shape of a soccer ball, with a note that it was “trebouchet ready.” Randall was victorious, at $60, which is probably a world record for a piece of persimmon pudding.

Now he has to find a trebouchet before Monday and the Great Pudding Plastering. Until that time, all of Periwinkle County is on Thanksgiving break.
