ENC Project #4: Butta!

The kid can crack someone up. We were churning and he was singing in this.

For this ENC I went to a butter churning workshop after school. It was fun! My partner was Quentin..:P
In this little lab, we learned how butter was used, made and stored. Did you know it was used as medicine? That's neat isn't it. To make butter, first you had to milk a cow. The milk had to sit until the fat, or cream, rose to the top. Then, the colonists had to take the cream off the top and put it in a butter churn. They had to churn it until it the cream turned into butter!
It was used for eating, cooking and like I said, medicine.

Me and Quentin making butter!

The kids and the mother of the colonial home usually did the churning. To keep the kids from
getting bored, they would sing songs.
Back in the olden days, butter was a daily need for every person. Now, people believe its fattening and not good for you. Back then, what it was worth gave the colonists loads of money.

I learned a lot from this and it was a very entertaining way to learn about NC! Butter makes it better!:)
