We eat lots of pasta in this house
and it's always quick to cook which is a bonus
my youngest loves making pasta from scratch. It's cheap entertainment & doesn't result in too much mess
All the kids enjoy making sushi too. I think it's important that they all know how to produce meals. So many don't have a clue & it's sad.
Not enough done in schools to teach basic life skills. My unschooled child has far more ability than her schooled peers, even taking into account her autism/PDA. I often hear her helping friends with their school work. I focus a lot on life skills because I want her to have the best possible chance of independence. We will not let autism/PDA define her.
I have a child in year 7. Last week in food tech they made a couscous salad. My child came home in hysterics. He found pouring hot water on couscous & chopping up cucumber, pepper ridiculously simple. He couldn't believe how many were struggling with it for the whole hour lesson. He'd finished in about 10mins. He's as capable as his sisters of producing meals from scratch. As is my eldest. His mates are always amazed at his cooking skills when a lot of them have ready meals & takeaways.
I love belting out Jerusalem. It's always the hymn at the remembrance parade. I liked Morning Has Broken too & All Things Bright & Beautiful
@Harrigan they sing in assembly at my youngest's primary school. Although not always hymns as it's not a 'church of England' primary school.
