Miss Muffet's Curds and Whey Salad
Some of Mother Goose's rhymes have very old English words in them. Some people say a tuffet is a three-legged stool and others say it is a little grassy bump big enough to sit on. Did you know that curds and whey is an old word for cottage cheese? The curds are the lumpy parts and the whey is the milky part.
Equipment: mixing spoon, measuring cup
Ingredients (for each person):
1 leaf of lettuce (for the tuffet)
1/3 cup cottage cheese (for Miss Muffet's curds and whey)
1 prune (or raisin) (for the spider!)
Wash the lettuce under cold water and shake off the drops of water. Put it on a small plate. Measure 1/3 cup cottage cheese and put it on the lettuce. Put the prune on top of the cottage cheese. If you want a smaller spider, use a raisin on top of the cottage cheese. Even Miss Muffet wouldn't be afraid of this spider!
See Travis.....I didn't put any scary pictures of spiders here!
Hugs, Happiness and Harmony!
Julie

ANY picture of a spider is a scary picture, Miss Julie, ma'am. Hugs.

Woooooooooooooooooo!!!
You took the idea and made it your own. I never would have thought of defining the elements of the rhyme.
Great job!
(And thank you for not putting scary spiders in the post!)

Coco - Normally I would agree with you. But I saw a picture of a tarantula crawling on a guy's face at another blog. That skeered the bejeebers out of me. These cartoon ones are ok.

I don't mind the curd. In fact, I like the curd.
But I'm weird.
