Ancient Mexico Lapbook

I promised pics of Gman's Ancient Mexico lapbook and here they are:



Gman particularly loved learning about the Aztecs - possibly something to do with the human sacrifices and general goriness, but that's ok!!

Presenting...Gman's Completed Lapbook on Mexico!

Gman has finished his Mexico lapbook.  Little did we realise that he had done so much work on so many mini-books that he would need two oversized lapbooks :-) ; one for Modern Mexico and one for Ancient Mexico.  Here's some pics of the modern Mexico lapbook:









Gman has really enjoyed this project, particularly customising his own minibooks rather than using templates.

I will post pics of his Ancient Mexico lapbook in another post...

Gluten Free Cornmeal Hush Puppies

I think I have been neglecting the edible side of this blog for a while, so thought I would share this recipe with you.  These are pretty yummy!



Gluten and Dairy Free Cornmeal Hush Puppies

1 onion, very finely chopped

1 egg, beaten

1 cup unsweetened soya milk

1 cup coarse cornmeal

1 cup gluten free flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

good grind of pepper

pinch of chilli powder

Simply mix everything together until you have a fairly smooth batter.  You may need to add a little extra soya milk.

Heat some oil in a frying pan or skillet and drop ladlefuls of the mixture into the pan.  Cook for a few of minutes on each side until they are nice and golden and puffy.  Keep warm while you fry the rest.

Makes about 8, depending on size.

Serve with something nice and spicy :-)
