The kids are finishing up their report on Scotland for the International report day with our small group. We are gathering lots of information about the country, but it is the food that is capturing our imaginations. Last night we had Welsh Rarebit and boiled eggs for dinner. We are getting ready to make some rumbledethump to take with us! Sound yummy, huh? It is the Scottish version of "bubble and squeak", I'm sure you know exactly what I am talking about now!! Basically it is potatoes, cabbage and onions cooked in a certain way. However, there will be NO haggis (sheep, liver, heart and lungs, sauteed with toasted oatmeal and onions, wrapped in a sheep stomach and boiled!) today. I would try it if I were in Scotland, but I don't think I could ever make it myself. I think the strawberry and lemon whim-wham sounds better.

Wish us luck and we'll let you know how it went!

****UPDATE***

All went well. The kids each gave part of the report in front of our group. Even Jenna, who at the beginning of the year hid behind me, was excited about her part! We ate Korean and Ausralian foods. Delicious!

You are braver (or is it more brave?) than I. I don't think I could cook it or try it!!!!! The rumbledethump sounds pretty good though!!!! We love cooking...we'll definately remember to incorporate that into our "schooling". My eldest daughter, Emery (10), LOVES to bake. She makes something from scratch every week. It's definately not conducive to a girlish figure!!!!
