We love our gingerbread. We throw gingerbread parties every couple years, bake it often, and go so far as to call our love of the cookie a lesson in kitchen chemistry. This week while my children rolled, chopped, and shaped their latest batch of gingerbread, I read
The Magic School Bus Gets Baked In A Cake: A Book of Kitchen Chemistry to them. We talked about how the ingredients work together to make a fluffy cookie. I read various poetry (Shel Silverstein, Mary Oliver, and Jack Prelutsky) as we drank a pot of licorice tea. After washing hands and popping cookies into the oven, we watched the same story in video form:
The Magic School Bus Ready, Set, Dough: Chemistry- It's A Piece of Cake. Hannah was thrilled to finally see a Magic School Bus video. What a treat to spend this time together, baking cookies for friends, cozy and warm as the storms rain pours outside.
What baked goods bring you bliss?
