Culinary Syllabus (J-Term post #4)

Here's Ki's Syllabus for Culinary Arts Class. I am trying/hoping to arrange a field trip to a nearby culinary school for him, but it's not on the sylabus, as it's confirmed yet. Ki likes to have a schedule of events & lessons. I like to make syllabi for himm during J-term (a little facier than the weekly lists I make for him the rest of the year) The last half is more open ended as Ki will be able to make some choices by then, about what things he wants to do for the class.

CULINARY ARTS

Wow Kimberly you have done a lot of work here. I know Ki will learn a lot. I can't wait to see what he cooks and what more he learns. Maybe you can publish some of the results of his famous meals and foods in the Bible. I'd like to learn all of that too! I wish you could sign me up too.

Hello, for all students (at least high-school and the undergraduates) and others with an interest or enrolled in economics, homeschoolers esp., I have started a blog which will comprise study literature in a more entertaining form than standard textbooks, see
CrisisMaven’s Economics Study Guide. It also contains a Reference List which aspires to eventually become the "one stop shop" for all economic data series, history, bibliographies etc.
