We did a chromatography science experiment. I found the experiment in one of our science books (see pic below for book). It went really well and was interesting.
I had no idea that only one bamboo farm existed in Canada. I also had no idea that the current one and only was a mere hour away until a member of one of the homeschool groups we belong to organized a visit to the farm where we planted 100 bamboo plants which will eventually be fed to the Pandas at Toronto Zoo. I am not a supporter of zoos but I guess its cool that our Bamboo will feed such stunning animals. We are invited to return in two years to harvest the bamboo and if desired deliver it to the zoo.
In January I decided to change from a vegetarian which I had been for over twenty years to a vegan. Although the decision was ethical - I had hoped that as a bonus I might lose some of these extra pounds that I have been unable to shift (mmm chocolate). Nine months later and not a pound lost, I decided that I had to up the fruits and vegetables even more and lessen the carbs. At the same time G decided to go on a fruits and vegetables juice cleanse. We have a full size fridge and a full size freezer that stand side by side. They are huge but apparently the fridge is no longer big enough to house the produce required for two people to eat pretty much nothing other than produce.
I was concerned my meals might be boring. I was so wrong.
G down 16lbs in 2 weeks and I am down about 8lbs. Yay us : )
