2 Kinds of Munchies, and Neither of Them Yummy
So today, one of the kids had to miss after school program because had kicked another kid in the face and some other stuff which is too long to go into now, but needless to say, he wasn't very happy about all of that. so angie came in and got him a book and his name bookmark from the book box in the after school room. Later, when we were all together again someone gave me the book back and i noticed right away that the bookmark had been mauled- but since i had laminated it, it wasn't torn into pieces. It took me a little while longer to see that the book had a bunch of little dents in it, and then a split second to realize that the dents were from his teeth! No joke, he had chewed on the book! What am I going to do with him? It was worse than if Daisy had gotten into it. I know he was angry at missing after school program, but to react by biting a book? Now I'm trying to think of a creative and effective consequence. I've really been drumming it into them that these particular books are special and that they nee to take extra care with them and treat them as they would a library book. I also don't want to create extra problems for him at home. What I'm thinking of is making him sharpen colored pencils for me and counting each one as a nickle or 3 cents or something and then have him do it till the $3.99 is paid back. At first I think he'd think it was kind of fun, but I think it'd get old pretty quick. I just need to think on it tomorrow morning, for now it is back to the endless stream of homework (which annie and interrupted for the way drawn out bachelor finale- i haven't even really been watching it, but still i was drawn in, and at least he picked the right girl)
Not a Quote, but a Recipe
In my research for my Elizabethan newspaper, I came across some Renaissance recipes, such as the ever popular Fartes of Portingale but I want to share with you the recipe for Ipocras With Red Wine.
Take a gallon of wine, three ounces of cinnamon, two ounces of ginger, a quarter of an ounce of cloves, an ounce of mace, twenty corns of pepper, an ounce of nutmeg, three pounds of sugar, and two quarts of cream.
What does that make?! Annie and i couldn't figure it out, but we were sure that you would end up with an awfully big vat of something!
