| Wednesday * October 13, 2010 Today is...National Yorkshire Pudding Day! Yorkshire pudding is an iconic British dish that has withstood the test of time, dating all the way back to the 1700s in Yorkshire, England. Yorkshire pudding is typically made by combining flour, eggs, butter, milk, and pan drippings from prime rib or roast beef. It is most often served with roast beef or chicken, and, of course, lots of gravy. A traditional staple of the British Sunday lunch, Yorkshire Pudding is still common today. Celebrate National Yorkshire Pudding Day by making your own to enjoy with your family! Happy Birthday to... 1969 Nancy Kerrigan American figure skater.

Did you know... The adverb "erstwhile" has been part of English since the 16th century, but it is formed from two words that are much older. It comes from the Old English words "ær," meaning "early," and "hwīl," which has much the same meaning as the modern word "while." (The English word "ere," meaning "before," is also descendant of "ær.") The adjective "erstwhile," as in "erstwhile enemies," joined the language around 1900. Useless, yet interesting, Facts
