Pawtucket, Rhode Island, the birthplace of Robert Francis Haines, aka Grandpa Haines. As a young boy, Grandpa would learn to eat New England classics (boiled meat dinner anyone?) that would make a Yankee proud. Grape-Nut pudding was one of those dishes that Grandma makes for him on his birthday as an alternative to his much beloved blueberry pie.

How oven “save” does the “bowel” need to be?
All bowels need to be able to take at least 98.6º…. lol
