Ice cream is educational, right?
The Perfect Scoop: Ice Creams, Sorbets, Granitas and Sweet Accompaniments
by David Lebovitz
Ten Speed Press, 2007
ISBN-13: 9781580088084
ISBN-10: 1580088082
Here's a beautiful ice cream book that our library stocks. It is becoming a family tradition (two years in a row makes a tradition, right?) to check it out once every summer and try a recipe. The comments that accompany the recipes are entertaining in themselves. If you don't own an ice-cream maker, there is a whole chapter on granitas, which you (or more specifically, your children) can make using a plastic container and your freezer. Also a chapter on toppings (sauces, whipped cream, etc), and some of the ice-cream or sherbert recipes are noted for also making good popsicles.
Worth seeing if your library carries it, or if you are an ice-cream person, or putting it on the wish list for relatives looking for gift ideas.
Ah, and look at this: if your library doesn't carry it, the author has a blog with recipes. (Note: the blog is for adults -- every here and there is a comment you would rather not read and probably don't want your kids reading either. But overall good -- think on par with Chicago Public Radio's This American Life.)

Why "Greencastle"?
We have a green castle in our back yard. We named our school after the castle. (We were required to name it something. I don't know why. It was on the form.) Now I've named my blog after our school. Because it's supposed to be a blog about our homeschool. But I blog about other things, too.

The Holy Father Says
"The starting point of being a Christian
-- and therefore the origin of our witness
as believers -- is not an ethical decision or
a great idea, but the encounter with the person
of Jesus Christ."
