    I grew up near a wood in the 1970s, and spent many happy times as kid foraging for crab apples, wild pears. wild gooseberries etc. We all had our own knives and built dens, made our own bows and arrows and cooked potatoes in our fires. Much simpler, innocent, happier days.

      We too had good times in the woods in the 60's. It had a deep creek bed that when it was dry in summer we used to slide down the embankment on cardboard. We weren't allowed knives or to have fires but we were given pocket money & we'd buy a bag of frosted animal cookies & a bottle of root beer & play Huck Finn. Very, very fond memories. Kids today miss out on so much, just by not being outside with no toys. Our only toys were bikes & a skateboard but we lacked for nothing that our minds couldn't create.

    Puffballs are prevalent in the northeastern part of the United States. My mom harvested them when they 'popped up' and prepared them as a butter sautee with a saltine cracker meal and egg. I continued to make them in late middle age. Yours came out beautifully. You are a BRAVE MAN to tackle rice pudding in a video: people hold strong opinions about how this dish should be done. I favor a New England recipe that is 'minimalist.' The secret is in the quality of the milk and double cream. My favored recipe does not add 'frippery' like raisins or allspice.

    Puff Balls!!!! Yummmmy )))) White inside is good. Blue inside is NOT. Fry them up in butter like sliced bread, a full meal by itself. They don't come up the same place next year. ((( and not every year. bummer. Just tap the cinnamon jar so very little comes out at a time. Shaking the jar risks a LOT falling out.
