One of our early American recipes is Indian Pudding. It was
sometimes made without spice, unlike the recipes that evolved
in later years. Traditional Indian Pudding usually wheyed. In the
following recipe, the pudding is baked in a hot-water bath and
there’s no wheying; instead a soft texture prevails.
4 cups milk
% cup enriched yellow cornmeal
Va teaspoon salt
A large egg
Vx stick butter
Vi cup dark molasses
V4 cup sugar
Heat 3 cups of the milk until bubbles appear around the
edge — remove from heat. Stir together in a small bowl the corn-
meal, salt and remaining cup of milk. Pour into scalding hot milk,
stirring constantly. Bring to a boil over moderate heat, stirring
constantly — cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Beat egg and
vigorously stir a little of the hot cornmeal mixture into the egg.
Stir egg mixture back into cornmeal mixture, add butter, molasses
and sugar. Pour into a buttered IVz quart casserole. Set casserole
into baking pan with hot water within an inch from top. Bake
uncovered in preheated 275 degree oven for about three hours;
top will be a rich caramel color. Pudding may be served warm or
chilled — it will remain soft in texture and will not whey.
Christmas Baubles
Should Not Be Eaten
Tree decorations are pretty but
care must be taken to make cer
tain they don’t wind up in a
toddler’s mouth.
Every year small children take
samples of such decorations as
icicles, artificial snow, glistening
balls and berries. The things that
make them so attractive also at
tracts children.
Colorful holly berries are toxic
when eaten. Tree balls are made
of glass and plastic, and in addi
tion to causing cuts, could clog
the windpipe of a child.
IN IRELAND
In Ireland, the man of the
house sets a two-footed Christ
mas candle, usually a red one
decorated with holly sprigs, in
the main window of the house.
It is the custom for the youngest
child in the family to light the
candle. Some households have a
candle for each member of the
family.
BOXING DAY
This is the first work day after
Christmas and used to be the day
when tenants got their Christmas
boxes. In Norway it’s a big party
day — children’s in the early
afternoon; the grown-up parties
later in the evening.

New Year Legend
Legend has it that El Cid, the
great hero of Spanish liberation
from the moors, once won a bat
tle on New Year’s Day by giving
his tired horses generous gulps
of Spanish sherry the night be
fore (apparently giving them a
head start).
The Russian people, long ago,
welcomed the New Year in with
a hundred cannon shots at mid
night.
Jewish people have celebrated
their New Year’s late in Septem
ber or early October. This special
occasion is called “Rosh Hash-
anah”, meaning “The Feast of
the Trumpets”.
During the middle ages, March
25th was the beginning of the
New Year. Celebrating the New
Year is an age-old custom, and
nearly all peoples have marked
the coming of the year. How
ever, the time celebrated has
been as early as the autumnal
equinox, about September 21st,
and as late as the summer sol-
tice, about June 21st.
Gay Nineties
Hostesses, during the gay nine
ties, often announced in the
newspapers the hours they would
receive guests on New Year’s.
People arrived in their best
finery — silk hats for the men,
with chamois skin gloves, and
ladies in “stiff bombazine with
sealskin tippets”.
At times, undesirables man
aged to crash the parties; also
guests who had imbibed too much
caused hostesses embarassment.
After guests had departed, the
host and hostess often made a
round of calls on their friends.
At a result, the affair became a
calling marathon.
