Cream Cheese & Jam:

This was both my kid's favorite sammiches growing up. We didn't do PB&J, we did CC&J. Both kids *favorite* jelly for the sammich was my homemade peach wine jelly. Now anybody that's ever had a chemistry class in their lives, or even basic science knows that alcohol boils at much lower temp than water. So, if you make jelly and boil the stuff the alcohol is gone! But, I got a call from the school one day. It seems they thought wine jelly was a problem. ~sigh~ and we pay those people to teach our kids.

CC&J always reminds me of my grandmother. Thanks Grandma!

LOL you wouldn’t have had that problem if your kids had my youngest daughter for a teacher...

She is the one who wanted a milking dairy goat when she was in the 10th grade. Made cheese, yogurt, ice cream, sour cream, etc. Always wanted to try things and figure out how they worked. Now she is a wife, mother of 2 and 5th year of teaching. (Neat part is that they live only 500’ away - teaching also gives her time in the summer to help dad with chickens, garden, etc.)

Anyway, she would have known about the boiling point of the alcohol and that just the yummy flavor is left behind!

LOL, poor teacher, yes she should have known, but then how does she know when you added the ‘wine’ part?

But across my mind went the news headlines that I saw this morning.

Kindergardner has loaded stolen gun in school desk.

Second graders have heroin at school.

Two year old smokes cigarette in video at u-tube.

Some parents should be sterilized and locked up, it would not even upset me if we hung them.
