A Picture A Day: January 10, 2013

Today we get two pictures of what we did this afternoon.  This has been a heavy week of field trips and classes and this afternoon we had some time to just chill.  We read the third Brotherband Chronicles book (The Brotherband Chronicles: The Hunters by John Flanagan) together and then we each did our own thing.  AH decided that he would just play Xbox 360 live and I decided to cook!

Bolivian Quinoa Stew for dinner!

Today we made chocolate candies from a kit!  We have had this kit for months and I've been meaning to do this activity all summer, but we weren't able to manage it until today.  The kit contains everything to make your own candies and explains the history of Cacao and all the steps candy makers need to take to make chocolate into the treat it is today.
