I'm glad we don't live in Ancient Egyptian times so all we had to eat were lentils ...

Our curriculum has many cooking lessons, which I think are great! (Home Ec, Math and a History lesson all wrapped up into one recipe.)

Dawson has made Fig and Date Bread and Honey Cake. They were both so good!

But yesterday's recipe was for Lentil Stew. Knowing he would never eat stew, I searched for a Lentil Casserole recipe with great reviews. And, I found one.

He diligently gathered the ingredients and made the casserole exactly as the recipe dictated.



His first lesson in cutting onions!


Before
After
We dished up our plates.


And took a bite.

I think my face says it all ...
It went in ...
And right back out ...
Yuck!!!  Who actually eats that garbage???

We dumped the entire 9x13 pan of casserole down the drain.

See how we still have the same amount on our plates?


Glad I didn't have that casserole planned for dinner last night! We would have been making a quick trip to Taco Bell!

Oh well, Lesson Learned!

ABCya

Eli's reading resource teacher shared a website with me yesterday that I would like to pass along. It's called ABCya . There are separate educational sections with fantastic games for ages kindergarten through 5th grade. I browsed the 2nd grade level, and it includes age-appropriate games about Letters, Numbers, Shapes, Geometry, Patterns, Mouse Manipulation, Art and Holiday games. There are lots and lots of fun and creative games for children to play. They are fun, but oh, so educational. Eli's favorite, in his short time playing it, was Create a Car . A lot of the games also have Apps available for purchase (99 cents for most of them) for the iPad and iPhone. I have been looking for another free website for games similar to Starfall , for some time. I think I have found it. I can feel confident having Eli and Brynne play these games.

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.

Last Child in the Woods ~ Chapters 1-4

Welcome to our book study of Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv. To be honest, I have no idea what this "study" is going to look like. I imagine that when we get together I will post about all of the things that caught my eye. And I would ask that you leave a comment, or a link to your own blog post in the comment, about what caught yours. This isn't anything formal, ladies, just a place to talk about what we have read. I have now read the first four chapters of Last Child in the Woods two times. It is just so good. Several things have specifically hit me deep, but in general I just realized that "times, they are a changin'." Things aren't the way they were when we were kids. Chapter 1. Gifts of Nature ~ "When I see birches bend to left and right ... I like to think some boy's been swinging them." ~ Robert Frost What is your definition of nature? What feelings, visions, senses does it conjure up? For me, it's not a
