Daily Holidays - November 13

National Indian Pudding Day National Indian Pudding Day is observed each year on November 13. This day honors a cold-weather classic, which is a traditional New England dessert, Indian pudding.

It was in the seventeenth century that English colonists brought hasty pudding to North America and completely transformed it. Although it was originally made with wheat, they substituted cornmeal due to a lack of wheat at the time. The colonists had learned how to cultivate maize (corn) from the indigenous peoples. Indian pudding was derived from their name for cornmeal, Indian meal. Milk was substituted for water, and they added either molasses or maple syrup along with cinnamon, ground ginger, butter, eggs, raisins and nuts. Indian pudding is then slowly baked for several hours, transforming its texture from the original porridge-like quality of hasty pudding to a much smoother texture which is more typical of custard puddings. http://nationaldaycalendar.com/latest-posts/

World Kindness Day Kindness Day isn’t just about adopting all the children from your local orphanage – it’s about the little gestures of kindness too. Helping others can restore a sense of humanity, not to mention giving you that warm fuzzy glow inside. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/kindness-day/
