Photo Contest

-
A picture of my 9 yo son won a photo contest! The contest was for Simply Charlotte Mason. You can view the winning photos here. All the photos are great. How cute is that little boy with his guitar and cowboy hat? My son won in the Child Doing Handicraft or Life Skill category. While we were staying at the RV park, he helped a woman put up a temporary fence around her lot. That boy loves to work with his hands.

I have started a new blog at https://creativeinstinct.blog/ and moved my State Dinner and information there. Come visit my new site! Finally resuming our state dinners and state studies! This was our Missouri state dinner: St. Louis-style ribs Toasted ravioli Corn on the cob Green salad Ice cream cones Dr. Pepper In 1904, St. Louis, Missouri, hosted the World's Fair.  Introduced at that fair were ice cream cones and Dr. Pepper.  Toasted ravioli is a dish unique to Missouri and was also introduced at the fair.  It is ravioli that is breaded and deep fried.  You can eat it plain or serve it with marinara sauce for dipping.  Corn is an important crop for Missouri.  The only state that produces corn cob pipes is Missouri.

Nebraska State Dinner

I have started a new blog at https://creativeinstinct.blog/ and moved my State Dinner and information there. Come visit my new site! Grilled steaks Baked potatoes Corn salad Kool-Aid (official state soft drink) Sorghum Cookies If we hadn't just gotten through the holiday season, I would have made the dessert. With all the cookies and sugar we have had lately, I decided to skip it. The kids didn't miss it! In this area I haven't seen sorghum syrup but I have found sorghum flour and we also have sorghum fields nearby. I also served corn salad instead of fresh corn on the cob because it is January! I can't find the link but this is the recipe we used: 1 bag frozen corn, thawed 3 cups grape tomatoes, halved 1/2 cup diced red onion 4 Tbsp olive oil 4 Tbsp fresh lime juice salt and pepper to taste. Just throw it all in a bowl and mix! Sorghum is one of the important crops grown in Nebraska with corn being the number one crop. It is, after all, ni
