Italian Food project
As part of his Cricket in Times Square topic at the moment M did a bit of a project on Italian food, finishing off by making his own Italian food last Friday.
He decided to make pasta for a main course and weighed and mixed it all himself.
When it had stood for a while I helped him get it started with in the pasta maker, and then together we rolled it thinner and thinner. A came in from work just in time to do the strip cutting right before we cooked it for tea. I made some meatballs to go with tomato and chilli sauce and we had that with the pasta - yum!
For dessert M chose to make ice cream. We found a recipe for vanilla ice cream and set to with separating the eggs. I wanted M to manage it all himself but every egg he cracked he split the yolk. We had a fridge full of broken yolk eggs very quickly! He must have done about half a dozen that way so eventually I took over the cracking part and then M separated them LOL. The rest of the ice cream making was much simpler. I was surprised how well it worked just putting the mixture in the freezer and stirring it every hour. M added some choc chips just before it froze completely.
It was ice cream to die for. So much more delicious than bought ice cream. We will be making it again 
sounds yummy!!

This was just posted on the suffolk list (not sure if you get it or not…
Hi everyone
I brought this info to Thetford but unfortunately either someone went
off with my info or I’ve left it somewhere
Anyway….
what I can remember is:
There will be 2 different workshops for 10-12 year olds starting
after Easter, one is making live action film, the other animation.
They will happen on Wednesday evenings term-time 6 to 8pm at Hoxne in
Suffolk.
The cost is £15 per child per term which seems very reasonable.
Several of the home ed teenagers around went to previous workshops
for their age group and really enjoyed them, and at the end of term
families were invited along for a showing of the finished films.
The person to contact is Shirley Day her phone number is 01379 668353
if anyone can remember any more detail (I think Wendy may have
memorised the email addy..) please add it!!
Although I have no idea where Hoxne is!! And I can’t even remember how old M is! OK looked it up, it’s near Diss so may well be too far for you….thought I would pass it on anyway.
