People who don't eat meat . . .

. . . get some pretty strange ideas about food. Certainly, this has been the case for Emily. As a project at school the kids all made Thanksgiving placemats, and Emily has been very excited about hers. Of particular interest is the area in which they asked the kids how to cook a turkey. Here is Emily's plan:

So, all you silly people who have been putting your turkey in the oven, apparently you have been doing way too much work. If you had just cut the bottom off, you would have been all set. Keep that in mind for next year.

Speaking of coming up with new ideas, our little Rosie Revere, Engineer continues to create. Below she is wearing the glasses that she made (with some help). Originally, she wanted to make goggles, and was very disappointed to discover that it was probably impractical to think that these could be waterproof, so she settled for glasses instead. We taped pieces of a plastic sandwich bag in for lenses, and she was somewhat surprised to discover that she couldn't see very well through the tape, but clearly she was proud of the creation nonetheless.
