Home Ec

Caitlyn is taking Home Ec right now. Of course it is not called Home Ec anymore. It's called Family and Consumer Science. This has been a fun class. Caitlyn has gained a new love - baking! So far she has made applesauce muffins, pumpkin pies, minced meat pies, cookies, and banana nut muffins.

Not long ago she made a full breakfast. In the near future she will make lunch and soon after that an entire dinner for our family. Some things are familiar for her, because she has helped me in the kitchen before this class. But she has not had to cook entire meals on her own. This is great experience for her.

She will be hosting a cake reception in a month or so. She will have to make 2 or 3 cakes, write and send out invitations, make punch and coffee, and host the reception. It will be so much fun! I love putting on things like this. I hope she discovers that she enjoys it as much.

Her last event for the semester will be planning, preparing for, and hosting a dinner party. There is a lot of work that goes into a dinner party, but I know she will do a great job!
