I'd not be surprised at any of that... ;)

He might grow to appreciate the whole grain eventually... ;)  Which do
the kids prefer...?   Our son grew up with my making breads, my first
attempt was oatmeal molasses... I'd learned how to make that even before
I got married, so he didn't have a chance to get used to white... (G) 
My sister and I pulled off a surprise 25th anniversary party for our
parents, at a place where she was staying for the summer that year...
the main cook there suggested we might want to add some home-baked rolls
to our menu, and showed me how easy it was, talked me through the
process that first time, and sent me home with the recipe...  :)
 
 NB>> I think they used money they might otherwise have saved for our
 NB>> college for Christian schools, since the plan was always that by
 NB>> the time we were old enough to be in college, Daddy would be
 NB>> teaching at one that gave tuition to his kids...  :)

 RH> We looked at them when we came back from Germany but couldn't afford

 RH> supporting infrastructure in the early 80s. Came back from Germany in
 RH> 1992 and the movement had exploded but by then the girls wanted public
 RH> schools. We supplimented at home a lot tho.

My sister home-schooled all of her kids, most of them all the way
through... I think she started in the late '80s... and she may have been
part of the early movement to give it structure locally...  If I'd been
in a locale where there were no good options for schooling, I might have
tried it with our son, but he wasn't really a very good fit for home
schooling... I couldn't even teach him piano, even though I had no
trouble with teaching any one else... he couldn't distinguish between my
being mom and my being teacher as being at all viable... ;)  We sent him
to Christian school (two different ones) thru 8th grade, and then to a
public high school that had both the academics and technical training...
I think that any time you send your kids to school, there will be some
supplementation at home necessary... I did a fair bit along the way,
too...  :)

 NB>> potatoes. Macaroni and spaghetti were also fairly frequent... I think
 NB>> my first lasagna at home was after I moved out and was doing my own
 NB>> cooking, branching out... ;)

 RH> My first lasagne was after I got married, using my MIL's recipe. Sure
 RH> beat the version my mom made--and I gave my mom the recipe. Had to
 RH> teach her how to make it too.
 
I don't ever remember having lasagna at home, either that Mommy made or
that we girls made (the boys were too young still by the time I left
home)...  I'm sure I must have had it, like at church dinners, or
restaurants or something, before I tried making it on my own... I got my
recipe probably from a cookbook (possibly from the box, though)... 
 
 RH>>> No, that's why I call it the "Vanishing Lemon Pound Cake". (G)
 NB>>> Indeed.  :)
 RH>> I'll have to make one some time when I know we'll be seeing you. (G)
 NB>> Someday...  :)

 RH> Somewhere............

Yup...  ;)
