Plants and Interesting Edibles

Didn't I tell you that this week would dddrraaaagggg by? Well, it is. Yesterday was fun--after testing, we took the kids outside on the school track and stayed out there for two hours. That was super nice--bright sunshine, nice weather, the kids enjoyed it. We walked around the track (well, some of them ran) and someone bought a two-seater bicycle and me and one of the other young teachers rode it around the track, and then one of my students wanted to ride it with me, so we took another turn around the track. It was fun.

In other news, the plants my life and earth science classes planted are starting to sprout. I was worried--I'm not the best person for growing stuff. And the kids have been subjecting them to rather creative watering, LOL. Anyway, it was heartening to see the tiny sprouts today--yay us!

In recent news, I read a lot of mental floss (great magazine, great website) and came across an article (http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/50525) that talks about a guy who is making cheese from his wife's breastmilk and asks the reader to submit their opinion on that. I thought it was rather gross myself, but found myself (and others like me) quickly labeled as close-minded or squemish. In fact, most people say they thinking drinking human milk makes more sense than drinking cow or goat milk. I remain unconvinced. After all, as another commenter put it, "I eat cow meat, but not human meat." I dunno... read the blog and decide for yourself.
