Squanto

With a quick search on YouTube and Netflix, we often find a film or documentary to complement our lesson for the day. Today, even though it's Saturday, I suggested we watch Squanto: A Warrior's Tale. Trevor was enjoying the film until Dave walked in and said, "Why are you doing school on a Saturday?"

Hey Dad -- it was just a movie until you called it "school"!

Colonial Brown Bread

I whipped up a quick double batch of colonial brown bread this morning. It rises while baking, so there's no kneading or waiting. This is a great weekday morning recipe which yields two dense, nutty, and slightly sweet loaves that are wonderful fresh out of the oven with a generous slathering of butter. It also makes great sandwiches later in the day!
