      thanks!

       

      Yeah it takes a bit of tweaking. Especially with any liquids. Stuff usually turns out good though. I only had one weird mishap. I managed to burn corn on the cob.

  17. DD9: "Why is Oliver Twist considered an adult book now? Will Harry Potter one day be considered an adult book?" Sigh.

      I never cared for Oliver Twist. I know a lot of adults who love HP. I think both can be enjoyed by a wide variety of ages.

  20. $930 tuition plus ~$40 textbook rental is an awful lot of money to learn ONE new thing so far in my "Language Science" course aka Grammar 101. "Particles" were not in any of my kids' grammar textbooks.

    1. SparklyUnicorn

      SparklyUnicorn

      Ohh...I just looked up what particles are. Interesting!

  22. Delighted to have our Spanish exchange student return for the third year.
