The Chef!

Carson loves foreign foods, and he especially loves to cook them. The other day in school he had an opportunity to make 'unforeign' butter for us...even though he cannot eat much of it because of his Celiac disease.

Below you see him in his Birthday Chef's Hat and Camouflage Apron.

We put the 'top milk' in a pint jar

(from a gallon of REAL cow's milk), and then we rhythmically shook it until it 'turned'.

I poured off the buttermilk, salted the butter a tiny bit,

and we had crackers with butter for our home school snack.

Isn't Carson a handsome fellow?

He eats his butter on rice crackers,

but his fellow Questers (below) eat wheat crackers.

Later, they became "Mad Scientists"

when creating models of atoms for Science class.

Introducing One of Us: Hunter

I'm eleven years old with a flowing stream of passion for Christ. My family and I like to go on little vacations to see our relatives about every two years. I have a great education with a teacher named Catherine. And I LOVE to do art/craft projects.

This is my most recent project:

A Castle in a Can

You can see (above right) that I've begun to set it up. I used a Cool Ranch Pringles can cut into strips and taped back together.

You can see a side view of the finished castle that my friend Carson helped me create.
I said 'Hallelujah!" when it folded back together.
This project was the culminating event in our study of European history. I chose to put a medieval castle in a can for easy transporting. Carson chose to help me rather than create his own because he is more into cooking. After spring break he will make us a tasty treat. But that is for him to tell you about in our next introduction.
