school days



We are studying American History this year and now we are up to George Washington. So yesterday we had to make hasty pudding.
It was what they ate a lot of in that time period. How thankful I am living in this period. To make it you just add cornmeal to boiling milk. The girls actually liked it, and it really wasn't bad, just pretty tasteless.
It said that back then they would put maple syrup on it for breakfast, we had some cane syrup so I added that to the top of theirs.
It also said that you could refrigerate and then slice and fry, so we had some that way after supper last night. Just like everything else it was much better fried!
Anyway one of the single girls is living with us right now so she helped them make and and the other picture is of them all tasting it for the first time.
