I have someone following me on twitter. I laugh because I dont tweet.

Whats for dinner?

DS is doing a school project where he has to double, halve and triple 3 different recipes. Each recipe has to be different and must contain a whole number, a fraction and a mixed number.

Extra marks awarded for presentation.

DS wanted to use my recipe for sweet and sour....so I've just spent the last hour cooking, and taking pictures of, Sweet and Sour Chicken in Batter.

We served it with rice.

For DH, I pan fried some tofu and he had that with the sweet and sour sauce.

Do you know the follower or are you dissapointing a stranger?

Heading out for a short bike ride.

Will catch up when I get back.

That sounds like a lot of food. Will you be doing this for the next 2 days also, and eating it all week?

So how does he present this? Photos?

I'm guessing the teacher is obsessed with master chef or something

Never heard of a project like this. Seems like in many cases much food would be wasted...

As for the whole Facebook thing. It's been the best way for me to keep in touch with high school friends. It's there. And you get to see what's going on.
I don't add everybody I meet like DBF and I haven't even bothered to add people I knew in high school that are 'friends' with them. We weren't buddies then and we still aren't. So it's basically hs friends. Uni friends. A few friends from another Disney board who I got to know quite well before fb.
And DBF.....
Whom I'd never be with but for Facebook. it's a funky tale that one...

I was wary of check ins at first. But they can be loads of fun at times. Especially with overseas friends.

I dont know if you would believe me.

 

[usnuzuloose]

Well at least the math was dinner.Homec and math all in one?

It's maths! He has to copy the recipe as is...and then multiply by 2 or 3; or divide by two depending on which option.

Thankfully, I don't have to cook the quantities!

So how does he present this? Photos?

Photos might come into play.

For the first recipe, I got him to download pictures from the web for the ingredients. We photocopied/reduced the picture of the finished product.

For the second recipe, we've got a picture of the finished article. He gets bonus marks for "something extra" and I'm going to take him to the supermarket at the weekend and cost out all the ingredients....by correct weight....sum up the cost and then get him to work out how much each serving costs.

For the third recipe, I've taken pictures of the sweet and sour. So, I'm going to print them out (rather than pasting the file image) and include the photos in the article.

Its a paper exercise to get them to work on multiplication and division using quantities in a recipe. As they all have to have a minimum of one whole number, one fraction and one mixed number (and most of the recipes we've picked have at least 7 ingredients), the kids have to figure out how to scale up or down accordingly.

It's "Happy Seven Eleven Day" here. We cycled to the local 7-11 and got ourselves a free small slurpee! The queue was out the door and down the street. Only took us 30 minutes!

 

[queenie82]

Ugh.....my head......
It would bode well for this job being good at those calculations.

 

[queenie82]

Being in the city there are loads around but no one bothered.
I didn't know about it until I got back to the office after my wander around .....and couldn't be bothered either

 

[usnuzuloose]

I was just thinking about those numbers a few days ago. I thought I wonder how much each meal costs us.

 

[PrincessInOz]

My head hurts just thinking about all that homework.

Okay....gotta go put DS to bed.

Might try to come back on later...but I just seem to be running out of time today with everything!

Otherwise, it'll be tomorrow after work before I catch up.

 

[usnuzuloose]

Understand.

 

[queenie82]

Okie Dokie PIO

I'll keep LAST for you

 

[PrincessInOz]

I must be getting old. It's barely even 10 pm and I'm nearly falling asleep.

Another day in the salt mines tomorrow. Might contact the client and see how he's going with the paperwork.

 

[usnuzuloose]

Sounds like you need some good sleep
