Bella drew instructions and then we built ships out of lego and placed them on the x marks the spot to give the picture a 3D look. Bella wrote her pen-pal a Xmas card. Bella updated her advent penguin we bought yesterday as part of the xmas crafts we are working on. My favorite part of today was: the 3D ships My least favorite part was: everything else Bella and Alice will be making the Yorkshire pudding (our Heritage meal choice) for tonights Brownies xmas potluck!!! History of Yorkshire Pudding: The Yorkshire pudding is a staple of the British Sunday lunch and in some cases is eaten as a separate course prior to the main meat dish. This was the traditional method of eating the pudding and is still common in parts of Yorkshire today. Because the rich gravy from the roast meat drippings was used up with the first course, the main meat and vegetable course was often served with a parsley or white sauce. Traditionally, though less so now, the Yorkshire Pudding could be served as a sweet, with sugar, golden syrup, jam, or even with orange juice as a sauce.[citation needed] It is often claimed that the purpose of the dish was to provide a cheap way to fill the diners, thus stretching a lesser amount of the more expensive ingredients as the Yorkshire pudding was traditionally served first.[5] In poorer households, the pudding was often served as the main and only course. Using the drippings and blood from the roast they may have enjoyed earlier, a quick and 'stodgy' meal was made with flour, eggs and milk. This was traditionally enjoyed with a gravy or sauce of some kind, to moisten the pudding. Thus a meal included both proteins and carbohydrates - enough fuel for another day in the field.
