Not so much a team-building exercise tho' here. More of a learning to operate under a very loud dictatorship. Yes, Minx made scones.MadameSmokinGunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00369302102195138989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-25405945019485297552011-06-22T19:05:09.980-07:002011-06-22T19:05:09.980-07:00There's nothing like adding a home ed class to...There's nothing like adding a home ed class to the curriculum.

He came home with two types of cookies filled with chocolate butter cream, home-made garlic croutons, and a great deal of "garnished" fruit and veg, which I turned into salads and smoothies, after duly admiring his knife skills. Tell me how cookies are not education. Cake and cookies are the very best kind of education in my personal opinion.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10655355287500833547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-85065054280645298652011-06-21T17:30:45.110-07:002011-06-21T17:30:45.110-07:00I seem to remember that most of my education flew ...I seem to remember that most of my education flew past me without leaving a trace, and the bits that did leave a trace (including a few semesters studying law) didn't stop me from working in a bookies for a living.<br />Whereas I have very fond memories of baking about 17 different kinds of xmas cookies with the one and only auntie I ever loved and learning pretty much everything from home economics to chemistry in the process. Well, as much of it as ever I'll need anyway. I am still pretty darn amazing at shopping on a dime, using baking ingredients for cleaning, crafting and home improvement and makin' a good cookie along the way.<br />Take that, primary school.lisbonlionesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199372003999708772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-20920149963096965732011-06-21T17:23:51.814-07:002011-06-21T17:23:51.814-07:00let's see, cake making - that's home econo...let's see, cake making - that's home economics, science, maths, reading and, if decorating said cake, art too! That ticks a lots of educational boxes in my book. Oh and you can add 'critical assessment' for the tasting process;-)sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247276433803886670noreply@blogger.com
