The end of canning 2011

Hour and hours and hours and more hours of Fall work. Hours and hours and hours and more hours of Winter enjoyment!

M&M Science and Math

This was a fun class! I think everyone involved would agree! :) It's amazing how much you can learn with candy.

We hypothesized what we would find inside and how they might be different:size, color, shape, etc. (they had never opened bags like these before!)


Patterns




Sorting


Multiplication


Colors


Which group has 1? Which group has 2?


Taste testing. I bet the students would say this was there favorite part!


What will happen when the same kind and color of M&M is in warm water vs. cold water?? And we found out that the M's come off the candy and float!

Mother/Daughter Retreat

What a fun time it was when Chaeli and I got away for the weekend together. We played and prayed and talked... It was a good time!

Science

We are so blessed to be able to participate in many of the activities that our local church school does. One such event was a science fair. What fun and what learning...all wrapped up in one!! Here are a few high lights.

Traditional Korean Noodles

When we studied Korea, we found this yummy recipe to try! We loved it!





KOREAN TRADITIONAL NOODLE (Job Chai)

1 (12 oz) pkg Oriental Noodles or (13.5 oz) thin spaghetti noodles
1 onion, sliced
1 carrot, shredded
5 green onions, cut 1" long
1 c spinach, cut 1" size
1 c walnut gluten (see recipe on my facebook)or any veggie meat, sliced
6 T soy sauce, unfermented
2 cloves galic, minced
1 T nutritional yeast flakes
1/2 T onion powder
1 T toasted sesame seeds
2 T sesame oil
1 1/2 T turbinado sugar

Put noodles in a boiling water and boil for 10 minutes. Rinse with cold water and drain. Cut noodles in the edible length. Drop 1 T olive oil in a heated frying pan. Saute onion, carrot, green onions, spinach and walnut gluten until crispy and tender. In a large bowl, mix noodles, vegetable mixture and remaining ingredients. Mix well with hands. Serve cold or you can fry in a wok with adding 2T of sesame oil. Very delicious!

Trip to the Apple Farm

Back in late September, we decided to visit an apple farm. It was so much fun and such a nice break from regular routine. Here's what we did!



























Oh, and really, we did get apples also. And some apple donuts. We just didn't take a picture of that part. :)
