When my daughter was in high school, I was able to make costumes for the stage productions she was in. I wish I had time to sew now. <BR/> I guess I learned something about cooking in class, but I really don't remember what. I do remember we made a dinner for all the mothers. All I can remember of it were the mashed potatoes! <BR/><BR/>JanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-3361244382757873472007-06-07T17:40:00.000-04:002007-06-07T17:40:00.000-04:00I took "foods" in junior high but nothing like tha...I took "foods" in junior high but nothing like that in high school. My oldest is in high school now and I'm not sure they even offer anything like that where he goes. (His electives next year will be Japanese, Robotics and Psychology).<BR/><BR/>I like the meatloaves in the muffin pans -- I have one that is an old Weight Watchers recipe that I'll need to dig out once it cools down a bit (or we get deeper into summer and I don't mind turning the oven on).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-31015870324101723382007-06-07T15:00:00.000-04:002007-06-07T15:00:00.000-04:00You know Wanda, I was wondering if there were othe...You know Wanda, I was wondering if there were other versions of this book and I was thinking the dessert one would be really interesting. Hmm, I just checked and I can get the dessert version on Amazon (used). <BR/><BR/>Must resist. Must resist. Must resist. Must resist. Must resist.<BR/><BR/>Jennifer, that is so horrible about he science project but even in the 80's only one girl took shop class and one boy took home ec which was a shame (that we stuck to the gender stereotypes).

We were selling them when I was in high school, and I have the desserts and foreign foods volume...and maybe one more. We were required to take 4 yrs. of homemaking, as it was called, in high school. I didn't like it much at all. We had to sew something each year, including putting in zippers and a buttenhole and I really hated that. Cooking wasn't so bad. From my freshman year, I learned a recipe for Taghlerini (???? or something like that) that evolved into my 'goulash' recipe that I raised my family on. I still make it. And I bet it is nothing like the original recipe. <BR/> We had to enter something in the sewing and the cooking division of the county show each year, and my second year I won 1st place in the county with my chocolate cookies - a recipe I found a made for the first time the day before the competition. <BR/> I share your interest in names. I have always, even as a child, been very interested in names.Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05762254137339310890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-11135052421465367142007-06-07T12:36:00.000-04:002007-06-07T12:36:00.000-04:00I took it in junior high and learned a lot about h...I took it in junior high and learned a lot about how to cook and that I have 10 thumbs when it comes to sewing.MommyProfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12040890762575693250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-71706626463497223062007-06-07T10:19:00.000-04:002007-06-07T10:19:00.000-04:00I loved Home-Ec in HS, but hated it in middle scho...I loved Home-Ec in HS, but hated it in middle school.

I didn't take home ec, but I did have a science teacher in middle school that for a final project had all the boys put together a lawn mower engine and all the girls cook something.<BR/>I'm worried that "Jennifer" will be the future old lady name equivalent of "Ruth"....
