Learning about the Colonists

We are studying the original 13 colonies this week, and today was all about how they ate. So, being the hands-on kind of people that we are, Dade and I made bread and butter. After all the work, we are happy to live in modern times.

A cup of cream, some marbles and an awful lot of shaking!



After the shaking...the butter and the buttermilk.


A pinch of salt, for taste.

After draining and mixing, and ready to be refrigerated.

Our bread...it's not pretty, but it was made with love.

The results of our hard work.
