Sorry for the respite. I have been working on some articles for publishing! But, I AM BACK!!!
Well I’ve reached the halfway point in my second go-a-round at 6th grade. So far, the second time around is much sweeter than the first. Math still sucks though, I could re-do 6th grade twenty times and still hate math. But oh well, I will continue to trudge through that crazy perpendicular field.
Initially, 6th grade was kind of stressing me out. I was eating a DQ waffle bowl sundae dipped in chocolate (with the caramel and nuts on the side…IT HAS TO BE ON THE SIDE) just about every night. Had to stop though, because of my bum thyroid, Plus I do not want to pass along my horrible stress-related-bad-eating habits to my son.
Our next big project: Choose an unusual vegetable and write an essay about it. I choose the beet, my son picked to write about the eggplant. Turns out vegetables are complicated, mainly because it is hard to determine whether they are actually classified as fruits. The more we studied both these edible plants, the more we kept getting confused. Is it a veggie or a fruit, fruit or a veggie? Something about how the seeds have to have this, and the plant has to flower a certain way…blah, blah, blah…Finally we decided we did not care because they were nasty and we weren’t going to eat them anyway.
Just because we aren't going to eat them doesn't mean you don't have to, I have learned these veggies (or whatever) have wonderful medicinal properties. Here are some recipes:
