2 Measures Relationship
An Equal Measure Patience
A Pinch of Creativity
A Dash of Inspiration

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and knead until firm but pliable. Fold in curriculum. Place in warm and nurturing environment and allow to rise.

Activity: Spend some time with the stars! Stellarium allows you to turn your personal computer into a home planetarium. Best of all, it is free! Take Amazing Space as your guide, and arm yourself with the latest on the night sky with Sky and Telescope.

    Great recipe! We did a unit study on space during our first year of homeschooling. We’ll have to check out the websites linked above.

  2. Margaret, April 1, 2008:

    Love it. Thanks for putting this together. It has been a lot of fun.

  3. Dana Hanley, April 1, 2008:

    I thought y’all might appreciate something shorter for a change. :)

  4. Ellen, April 1, 2008:

    I’ve had to work really hard on the patience part of your recipe. Homeschooling goes so much better when I’m patience. Just because I think that a Math worksheet could be done in 15 min. doesn’t mean that it will. And I just need to mellow out about it. One of my daughters takes a really long time to get through her work, when I help her. It is because she uses it as a time to talk with me about all the things that are important to her. I’ve finally relaxed and let her do this,knowing that our relationship will improve because of it. She is 13 and I should be thrilled that she still wants to talk with her Mom.

  5. Dana Hanley, April 1, 2008:

    Don’t you wish sometimes you could have some of that hindsight in the moment? Like that wasting time on any given task is not the worst thing to come of a day, but silencing that desire to talk to mom might be?

  6. Julie, April 1, 2008:

    Uh, I cheated. My recipe isn’t figurative nor is it particularly healthy. Just a fun thing to make with your kids ~

  7. Heather Young, April 1, 2008:

    That is a fun recipe. :)

    One thing I love about Edubuntu is the built in star gazing/astronomy program with star charts and everything–the kids have had tons of fun with it.

  8. Kim, April 2, 2008:

    Love the recipe. We just finished astronomy. My girls are still looking through the telescope at night though. We will check out your links.

  9. Michele, April 2, 2008:

    Hey, this prompt was the most difficult so far. I guess maybe I don’t like “cooking” after all. ;-)

  10. Sunniemom, April 2, 2008:

    As AC as I am about nearly everything, cooking is the one thing I do without following a recipe. People ask me all the time for my recipes, and I usually stall until they forget about it.:p

  11. Christy, April 2, 2008:

    OOH Whee! I was tired last night when I wrote that post. Glad to have made Dana and (sorry) the next commenter giggle. I added the rest of the recipe this morning.

  12. Kim, April 2, 2008:

    Great recipe. Thanks! This has been a fun week.

  13. Laurie, April 2, 2008:

    I adore recipes like that! =)
    Blessings,
    Laurie

  14. Dana, April 2, 2008:

    It wasn’t you so much as me. I modeled my recipe after bread because I liked the kneading aspect. I kept wondering about the punching the dough bit, though. :)

  15. Terri Sue, April 2, 2008:

    Love your recipe!
    Be blessed!

  16. Stacy, April 2, 2008:

    Great recipe. I love the inclusion of relationship…that is so important.

    Thanks for the Stellarium link - we will really enjoy that.

    Stacy

  17. Marybeth Whalen, April 2, 2008:

    Another day for appreciating the NUMBER of different directions this one question can go! Am having fun seeing the variety of answers!

  18. Tammy, April 2, 2008:

    Whew! It’s been a busy morning here and now I realize that I forgot to add a measurement of flexibility into my recipe for success! Of course, I guess I won’t be able to evaluate how effective the flexibility I needed this morning was until I measure the success of it tonight, eh?

    Have a great day!

    Blessings,
    Tammy ~@~

  19. Andrea, April 2, 2008:

    You are so creative; great recipe! I’m really enjoying these posts.

    Great recipe! and thanks for the Stellarium idea.

  21. Rose, April 2, 2008:

    More on peanut butter later. For now, I’m thinking about outsourcing everything. ;)

  22. marye, April 2, 2008:

    great recipes…I am having a great time reading them all!

  23. Maria, April 3, 2008:

    Hmm, all the questions were fun, but this one was a bit hard. Mine ended up being more of a list than a recipe. LOL Oh, well!

  24. Lisa @ Me & My House, April 5, 2008:

    Still going - I agree, this one was harder than others, sentimental yet thought provoking. The only reason I’m still at this, is dd8 fell off her bike today and skinned her face up (as well as knee and arm) and her eye is swollen, no doubt will be black by tomorrow. So I’ve been sitting on the couch holding her most of the afternoon. Do you think she’ll let me add that for show ‘n tell for tomorrow?
