Merry Homeschool Christmas & Baking Week to You!

Have I mentioned how much I absolutely enjoy homeschooling my kidlettes...now thats one thing I can say I do appreciate about Texas - their liberal laws hahahah (bet that would just tickle them'all knowin' I, a native Californian, think they're liberal)  Anywhooo, the fact that I have full opportunity to teach my children at home allows me to offer classes such as French and Spanish and brush up on my skills as well.

This week we have allowed ourselves room in both waistline and timeline for the Science of Baking!

What have we concocted? 

Toffee - learning about heat, boiling points and softball, crack stages of sugar.(Chemistry anyone?)  The absolute importance of excellent Chocolate - why, Ghiradellis (San Fran) OF COURSE and proper clean as you go method (work ethic)  Fudge has been both success and failure BUT we dont regret eating our faults...Why would it not firm up? Were our measurements correctly calculated when we double or halved recipes...(+ - * = check your work. :)  Eggnog fudge was the big hit and white chocolate macadamia was a close second...(mode, medium, range) Hark! Do I hear Math?
