Hasty Pudding

"They ate this everyday?!"

Keep stirring.

So excited to try it!

We are learning about the colonial times for history. We are also listening to "Yankee Doodle" as part of our folk song study. There's a part in Yankee Doodle where they sing "they were as thick as hasty pudding." So today we were instructed to make hasty pudding by boiling 2 cups of milk and adding 1/2 cup of corn meal, stirring constantly. We read how the colonists would have this most everyday as at least one, if not all meals for the day. Abigail was super excited to try it (I think the word "pudding" was a big reason for this). She had 1 and a half spoonfuls and decided that she could not survive being a colonist!
