With us being on a low carb lifestyle we don't do either way, but
I expect it would smell the same anyhow!

It was a novelty until we had to do it (grin)!
Just like the old hand cranked icecream maker!

Got it, and I can understand fully!

Anne has amassed quite a pile of "additional" materials for teaching
her kids. Enough so that she used to have a storage space at 
the local storage facility....now she keeps most of it in my 
workspace (grin). She's taught special ed preschool, kindergarten, 
first, second, and third, and fourth..now she's back at second 
(which I think she secretly enjoys the most). So she has a lot 
of material for each grade level! Books, posters, activities etc.

chat with you soon
