ikslo Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I did not know this: http://aquafaba.com/ Might have to do some more playing with food next week. I did! I did! Black bean aquafaba as a substitute for eggs in brownies was the closest I ever came to decent egg-less brownies. Which are still uck, though. Real eggs definitely brownies make. :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I also think that it was a great idea for me to bump Logic to a summertime class. I'm going to look at maybe making it a winter course, too. Kind of give us some flexibility in electives and some novelty from season to season. I tried to get to it as a full-time thing last year, and that just didn't work. I might look at alternating Logic and Literature in the plans and see if I like that arrangement. I think my homeschool motto might be Semper Gumby. :laugh: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm...I will have to find some good meltable chocolate without soy (we use powdered for baking, usually - Enjoy life being too expensive for baking), but this looks really good!

Paige Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Anyone who says we shouldn't teach logic is suspect in my book. If we don't teach logic, what will we replace it with- blind acceptance of whatever we tell them? I want my kids to know how to think more than I want anything else in their education. That will allow them to make wise choices wherever they go. Sometimes adults are wrong. Kids should know that. History is full of adults being really, really wrong. Thank goodness children in the past have been able to grow and think for themselves and fix some of the mistakes of the past 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art of Argument I can read right along with the boys and we can kind of discuss as we go along. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 She did say CM advocated they be taught how to spot logical fallacies. So she was ok with that but not logic. Which I thought was kind of a distrustful, utilitarian way of looking at logic. I find reading a well-laid out, logical argument very pleasurable. It's so rare. What's the difference? Logical fallacies are the first step to learning logic, but why would we avoid going deeper? Does she simply think it is a waste of time that could be spent on other things?

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I'm getting a lot done.

I'm still waiting to hear about the CT but for now I'm madly getting as much housework as I can done so that I will be free when they do call.

Now I'm "babysitting" the SD-OFN kids but they'll have to go home in an hour so I can get to the theatre. I also wasted a little time looking for a satisfactory string arrangement of Pomp and Circumstance with the peppy part but have had no luck, so I might have to do it myself.

I don't want to be thinking about someone's fingernails when I should only be thinking about coffee. The picture bothered me too...Where is the hand coming from? Is it attached to an arm or is it just a hand? Is the person holding the drink drowning in a sea of mint? (Which brings me to ask - why highlight the mint? I can't even taste it in the drink!) But, it was one of the few that looked decent and didn't have weird people in it. Edited June 8, 2017 by Southern Ivy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The location I visited is on a strictly prepay-in-full system. Keeps the cost down. Apparently, when you get insurance involved, everything becomes ridiculously expensive. I've heard other places like this that take insurance, the Venti drinks are like $90! Mine was only $5.50ish. If you're willing to live without coffee insurance and plan to cash-flow your prescriptions, it's totally the way to go. ;) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their brains like some breaks to process, and to focus on other stuff while practicing application of logic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
