On Tuesday, May 12, 2009 Mary
Brocker of Portland, Oregon celebrated her 11
th birthday. And so how did all of Holden Village know that Mary was 11? To celebrate Mary's birthday, her big sister,
Matia, prepared rice pudding to be served as a dessert at Holden's evening meal.
Rice pudding is one of Mary's favorite things, and
Matia spent considerable time debating over whether to make rice pudding cooked in a pot or to make rice pudding assembled and baked in the oven. In the end, she decided to secure some space in "The Rainier" (the name assigned to Holden's huge oven) and bake the rice pudding.
This is the birthday message that
Matia wrote and placed on the table by the pans of rice pudding so that everyone would know their dessert for the evening was prepared in honor of Mary and her birthday.
Happy Birthday Mary! The rice pudding was delicious, and your big sister was happy to be able to help you celebrate your 11
th birthday. There are many fans of rice pudding here at Holden, and we were all happy to help you celebrate as well.
