Pies. If it were just the salt it'd be easy to fix but the baking powder is going to be problematic. You can also roll it thin, sprinkle it with grated cheese and poppyseeds, and then bake it. Or you can roll it thin, sprinkle it with cinnamon sugar, and then bake it.

This is one of my biggest beefs with WW. I could go with fruit being low point but not zero! It adds up! I mean a banana has about a hundred calories. If you add a bunch of bananas into your day, yes, it's healthier than a bunch of jelly beans, but it still HAS calories!

I had never heard of this but the next time I have pork it will have to be tried.

No, a potato has a lot of potassium and very little sodium by itself. It's going to depend on how much you add with the other ingredients. If you really want to be sure (it looks like it's important), make an account on something like cronometer.com and enter the ingredients you're going to use.

I would say that starting MUS alg 2 because you have it and starting geometry when it gets there would be great.

Some kids just don't do well with Saxon. At this point I'd go back to MUS. Yeah it doesn't teach as much as some. He'll learn more there than he will suffering through a different one. Plenty of people have done MUS and gone to college. And honestly, what it DOES teach the students seem to understand -- he's better off with a good understanding of a lighter curriculum than a weak understanding of a more rigorous curriculum.

Quesadillas. Pasta Carbonara, use ham instead of bacon/pancetta. Mac and cheese with ham. Hawaiian pizza. Ham, broccoli, and cheddar soup.

Yes. If you're making something and need to send a sample of every single batch for a QC, it makes a big difference if you need to send a sample of every 6 qts vs. every 100 gallons.

+1 for this. I have people transfer in to our university who took college algebra at a CC and got a decent grade. They sign up for the precalculus class that I teach. They almost uniformly cannot factor even linear or quadratic polynomials or graph a straight line. There is an articulation agreement so we have to accept it, but honestly almost everyone ends up either changing their major to one that doesn't require precalculus, retaking college algebra, or taking precalculus twice. We also see the problem with the people who transfer in their "math for teachers" and come in with 8 credits of "math for teachers" with good grades and can't add fractions. It isn't even so much the CC's fault because they are under a massive amount of pressure from the state to get people through with their AA's, because the push-em-through culture is moving to college now :( The CC my brother went to, on the other hand, was excellent and he was able to do just fine at an excellent university after their preparatory classes. CC's vary. See if you can find former students who transferred to a university in a STEM program and did well.

I edited. They're usually wanna-be doctors, vets, or engineers who are attracted by the payscale and/or the "but I want to help people/animals" (second more common with vets -- especially a large amount of people think they're going to be small animal vets, where it's hugely hard to get admitted), so they are taking the classes that you're required to take, but they're really quite unprepared and not that interested in math. They do want to pass, though -- they're not usually the "13th grade" students that you see at lower levels. That's why I said that it was nowhere near as bad. But if what he's doing at home is working great as far as math and challenging him I'd much prefer that.

It's better than a remedial class but it's still really high school level material. So it's going to be focusing heavily on teaching unmotivated (edit: math-disliking would probably be better than unmotivated, they want to pass the course, they just tend to be math-phobic) students the minimum for them to be able to scrape through a calculus class. He would really be much better off with a decent online precalculus class. I can't cover anywhere near as much in one semester as someone like Derek Owens can cover in a full year. That being said, if that's what necessary for him to get challenged in literally every other class, I'd probably go for it. This would apply especially if he's not looking at a STEM major. But what I'd consider instead (assuming that they let him retake the placement test after a year) is enrolling in 12cr including only 3 real classes, and taking the precalculus class from an online provider, and then retaking the math placement test after that. This would apply especially if he IS looking at a STEM major. Even if he can't retake it, he should be able to briefly study for the CLEP precalc after that, and I just think he'd get more knowledge that way.

Beans, tomatoes, and okra, stewed in homemade chicken broth, with fried eggs over the top, and parmesan in the whole mess.

What about, like, hamburgers? It's really easy to cook just one. Or pork chops? I mean pork chops and eggs is common at restaurants on the breakfast menu.

I also think that it's not at all unreasonable or "lazy" to choose to work enough to support the lifestyle you want and not more than that. As a matter of fact it seems to be perfectly sensible to me.

All of it is in multivariable calc. Some of it is also in precalc but it's often in the chapters that people tend to omit.

Yes. Exactly. When most people didn't have health insurance and costs were lower, there was a lot lower barrier to striking out on your own. This is not a "let's go back to the days of yore" post btw but a simple statement that barriers are higher, both in actual cost to set oneself up and also the opportunity cost is higher than it used to be.

Carrots cooked in broth, sauteed tilapia, and uh ... probably tater tots ... unless I get inspired.

What do you mean by exposed to precalculus? How much has been done? If a full precalculus course has already been completed and it has been some time and a brief reminder of "how this works" is necessary it could work. The last two weeks are calculus but if you don't do it for the certificate you could just skip those. But if a full course hasn't been completed the pace is going to be far too rapid for most people to follow. I mean, it's free. You could try. Worst thing that happens is that it doesn't work. But I wouldn't make plans predicated on this being sufficient (like registering for a calculus class) until after I saw it work.

This is a brief review for students who were educated in another educational system (in which calculus was taught in high school) and are preparing to start university. It would not be suitable as a first exposure.

I haven't used it, sorry. But you should be able to download the first chapter from her website and test-drive it before committing. That chapter is review from pre-algebra so it shouldn't be too challenging even if you end up postponing the algebra course for a bit.

The problem is written wrong, it should be some variation "What fraction of her stamps did she have left?" 3/7 of the stamps were Canada stamps, and she gave away 1/12 of those, so she gave away (3/7)(1/12) = 1/28 of her stamps. She has 27/28 of her stamps left. 11/12 is correct as written. If she gave away 1/12 of her Canada stamps, she would have 11/12 of her Canada stamps left.

It's also acceptable to say that some people are better than others at athletics, and acceptable to talk about your kid's athletic ability, but not their academic ability for some reason.

When I first started losing weight, I only tracked calories. I saw some great results on the scale and in my well-being (including lab results) and in my athletic performance just from eating smaller amounts of crap and adding vegetables. And when I did get more interested in nutrition, moving to tracking macros was easier because I was used to tracking calories.

Honestly I liked the explanations in Algebra: A Fresh Approach, and I think the more linear style of explanation would suit her better. Most of the college textbooks for beginning algebra are okay too (Lial/Gustafson/Larson/Martin-Gay/probably others) but I think the pages with all the sidebars and notes would probably be a bit overwhelming for an ADD kid.
