The grade 10 class was in the kitchen this morning. We were baking a cake as their final test in Imperial to Metric capacity conversion. They all came out okay although the proof will be in the tasting, LOL! I'll have to try all three to give them their final mark...oh darn, eh?
While we waited for teh cakes, the students sat in on cleaning some seals from the recent hunt. They love to eat fresh from the catch, and offered me some as well. I got to try fresh (as in raw) seal liver and meat. A new experience for me. Not bad, but I still prefer steak, LOL!
Anyhow, it led up to a discussion about Michaelle Jeanne and her eating the seal heart in her Arctic travels, and how outraged all of the southerners were. It surprised a lot of the kids, who were baffled as to why anyone would object. It has been their norm for thousands of years, after all. So just an interesting note from the other side into that whole discussion. Yay for my kids for standing up for their beliefs!
TTFN!
