I used to do fun projects in our homeschool. The last year or so I feel like I have gotten lazy–but today I am turning that around…
Fat Tuesday was yesterday, but we were at a field trip, so I am sneaking in our paczki project today. Caitlyn made some from scratch (baked to fried) and we looked up how they are made in a bakery and about a nearby city here that is famous for these big ole jelly donuts…
She set the dough to rise twice, waited for the individual paczki’s to rise, baked them, and filled them with strawberry jams. Her sisters decided to “help out” with the jelly part and the eating part!
Caitlyn used this recipe.
Then we checked out some YouTube to see how it is done on a larger scale.
And no lesson in this house would be complete without a study on immigration and how it grows, changes, and develops our communities. I highly recommend this article! Take a minute to see a bit of reality in how people leave together, grow together and learn from each other. You’ll be glad you did–I’ll be glad you did!!
Survive til you Thrive!
