"Four score and..."203 years ago, a great man was born on this day. Along with this day having something sweet along side this president's special day.
Today is Abraham Lincoln's Birthday. Abe Lincoln, our 16th president of the USA, freer of the slaves, supposed vampire hunter. This man has accomplished a great deal in his life and is probably the most well-known president we have ever had. It is a shame he was assassinated during a play at Ford's Theatre. if only he had gotten a review that the show stunk or something. If you want to celebrate President Lincoln's birthday, try reading Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith. Or, if you want, watch Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and see Abe in a fun,not-so-serious light. Both are very good, personally I think so anyways.
Also, today is Plum Pudding Day. Seriously, if not for this day, you probably would never have even had a single thought that had anything to do with plum puddings, right? Yea, you know I'm right. Plum pudding, which sounds like something you eat during the holidays, is a sweet dish from Asia. Why celebrate plum pudding? Why not? There are holidays for cakes, pies, cookies, brownies and even chocolate mousse; we should celebrate the lesser known desserts too. Now if you want to participate in this day, that's fine and dandy, but it's not exactly gonna be easy. I mean, when was the last time you saw a package of instant plum pudding in the convenience store or supermarket? Unless you're in Asia, probably not anytime recently. So for your use, here is a recipe for you on making plum pudding.
