Dilara decided to add a new page and call it "The Food Kitchen Page" to record our kitchen experiences and recipes and such.
Dilara Quote: "Who knew science could be so tasty?" We made banana bread (talking about fractions...measuring 1 1/4 cup sugar with a 1/4c. measure means we need til fill it 5 times--4/4=1, plus 1/4), we made caçik, and we got out our milk kefir that I have had incubating since yesterday and we tasted it and thought it tasted kind of cheesey, so we are straining it(into 'kefir cheese") and are incubating another cup of kefir with the kefir grain I got the other day. That was raw milk. I'm refilling with low-heat pasteurized J.D. Dairy whole milk.
We are also making some water kefir in hopes that it will make tasty ginger ale. I didn't much like the water kefir I made lemonade with the other day...we're experimenting. Kefir making is very much a science experiment.. Maybe I can make up a lesson plan, if I can't find one online..I have water kefir grains to share, but the milk kefir seems to multiply more slowly. We are going to plant some pieces of ginger root in a pot to see if we can grow our own. We will weigh and measure it before we plant it and before we get cold weather, we will dig it up and weigh and measure again!--Lydia
