India Studies and a Recipe

We're doing Sonlight Core 1, and I also add in some extras here and there. Right now we're digging a little deeper into the festivals held in certain countries. Today we read about India's festivals, and then we made this delicious Indian treat. It's called burfi, and it is SO delicious. Here is the recipe:

Burfi

1 lb. roasted cashews

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

Butter

1 tsp. flour

Crush the cashews with a rolling pin. Mix half the ground cashews, the condensed milk, and the flour in a saucepan. Cook the mixture for a few minutes until it is almost solid. Grease a baking dish with butter. Press the cashew mixture into the greased pan. Pour the remaining cashews over the top and press them into the mixture. Let it cool and then slice it.

Boys Will be Boys

Could my husband and my oldest child possibly be any goofier? Wait...don't answer that! I'm afraid of finding out. LOL

Our Furry Friend

This little critter has been looking in on us all week. Our yard is usually full of squirrels, but I guess this one wants to come inside for a visit!

Digging in the Dirt

What a fun way to do science! We found worms and snails, and LOTS of dirt!!!

Tuesdays at the Park

We've started a tradition this year: school at the park every Tuesday, weather permitting. It's lots of fun, and it helps with those mid-school year blahs!

Valentine's Day Preparations

The kiddos fixed a delicious dinner and dessert, and they made lots of decorations. Hope everyone had a nice Valentine's Day!

My Little Chef

He loves to punch the dough when we make bread. He's all boy--it's about the punching, not the baking!
