Homeschooling traditionally is hands-on learning. My experience was no different. For everything we studied, there was an accompanying hands-on project that generally included food. A study of Jewish holidays would not have been complete without
latkes. When we were studying the Dark Ages, we all tried some cow tongue. And I was extremely jealous of my sister
Rebekah the year she decided to do a science fair project on leavening agents in brownies.
Some of these experiences were of epic proportion. When we studied Queen Victoria, we made queen cakes. Mom mixed up the batter and let us fill the cupcake tins. After about ten minutes in the oven, the cupcake tins overflowed and the bottom of the oven caught on fire.
