Target carried one by National Geographic for $15 that worked marvelously, and may still have a version there or check for used. We also found a really good adult one with an adjustable shorter handle from a garage sale for peanuts. <br /><br />Sure, I may have some holes in the backyard, but they have found nasty nails from the last roof repair, and scraps of things that I'ld rather not walk barefoot on, and they think they have found great treasure!ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13675488052831641480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-86114597965777347552010-08-05T11:43:09.297-06:002010-08-05T11:43:09.297-06:00Homemade vanilla extract is a very simple kitchen ...Homemade vanilla extract is a very simple kitchen science experiment- 2 ingredients plus patience! I make it all the time, and give it as gifts in fancy bottles. There's a tutorial on my blog if anyone's interested: http://anappleandatree.blogspot.com/2010/06/homemade-vanilla-extract.html<br />(hope it's ok to post a link!)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17468456904280339135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-9457452771302319772010-08-05T07:18:19.575-06:002010-08-05T07:18:19.575-06:00We're making more of a mess today.

My first child (who is 10 now) never would have thought of touching half the stuff my little one does. Amazing how that happens.<br />She now wants to keep bugs to observe them. Yikes for me! Of course as parents we encourage them, even if we are wincing while doing it:)<br />Thanks for writing this Blog!Michellehttp://www.falafelandthebee.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-46717033287094669442010-08-04T19:59:31.269-06:002010-08-04T19:59:31.269-06:00Fermentation was a scary thought to me until I mad...Fermentation was a scary thought to me until I made homemade fermented pickles. Now, whatever they want to put in a jar, let's go for it! <br /><br />Sounds like Smooch may be our next Louis Pasteur.

It's easy when one recipe isn't tasty to scrap the whole thing. I love the science in the kitchen though. I need to remember to do this more often.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387604778357366261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-11172277533869571052010-08-04T15:04:21.379-06:002010-08-04T15:04:21.379-06:00Young Smootch is destined to be a great scientist ...Young Smootch is destined to be a great scientist I reckon.
