Cooking Update

In my last post, Unschooling Cooking, I mentioned that David was cooking and we were trying new recipes. Wednesday’s meal was two South African dishes, Green Bean Salad and Bobotie (Beef Pie). Both were delicioius! If you would like the recipes, please visit my Musings, Mischief and Mayhem blog, where they are posted.

Interesting Ant Questions

There are several new ant questions (and answers) this week at Ask the Consult-Ant.

Also, don’t forget that Roberta, our LeapingFromTheBox “Consult-Ant,” has her very own Growing With Science Blog.

In her Kids’ Questions About Ants post, Roberta answers questions from several fourth graders in Georgia who had an ant farm in their classroom. They had some interesting questions, things I had never thought about concerning ants. Check them out!

Learn Nothing Day

Have you heard? There is an official Learn Nothing Day just for unschoolers! An official vacation day for unschoolers!

I just learned of it at Ren’s Learning in Freedom blog. It is a good thing I didn’t learn of Learn Nothing Day on July 24th, the official day, or I would not have been able to truly celebrate Learn Nothing Day! You certainly can’t celebrate Learn Nothing Day by learning something new!

For the official scoop on Learn Nothing Day (July 24), check out Sandra Dodd’s Learn Nothing Day page.

You better start planning now how you will spend one whole day without learning anything. Can you do it?
