    Good job! I was just reading an article about how millennials cook at home very little, despite how big "foodie culture" is. On a related note its funny to hear how close you had to supervise them with the knives! I would have said "here's a knife don't cut your finger off." Apparently that would be negligent :)

    Dr vs teacher. 

    One of you could sew them up. 
    Hey, I actually know how to make a simple interrupted suture...
    but somehow "Teacher sutures student after knife incident" just doesn't sound like a great headline, lol.

    Aggie I think you misunderstood my comment. What you are doing is great and they have a wealth of knowledge at their fingertips. Bravo to you and great gesture by Yolk. Put me down for a pop as well and let me know where to send.

    I don't think so - I'm just incredibly awkward at forum banter sometimes. I'm a bit overwhelmed by the generosity so many of you are demonstrating toward these students. I will be sure to let them know about this conversation. Thank you.

    @SciAggie - great story and even better recognition of your willingness to reach out and make a difference.  Congrats on taking on the challenge.  
    Once you really get comfortable with the group and as the year progresses you should consider inviting them to your outdoor play-ground and let them prepare a banquet for you and your co-teacher.  
    Of course, the fire department should be pre-alerted.  ;)
    This^^^^. Lou beat me to it but I was thinking you could have the class make pizza dough the day before your final outing and they could make their own pizza on your WFO. Field Trip!!!! :)

    Hats off to @SciAggie. They gotta learn somewhere. It amazes me how much has been lost to the kids these days.

    Good work, and glad no one was cut. Hopefully along the way to learning some basic skills, a few of the kids will get interested and want to make ever better meals.

    An aside story. Not long after I married, I headed out to pick some wild strawberries. Some kids a few doors down saw me walking along w. my plastic basket. A girl asked what i was doing. I said I was going to pick some wild straw berries. She said "You're lying."  I was like "Um, what?" Her answer was "There are no wild strawberries. Everyone knows strawberries come from the store." So, all my kids learned to forage, and cook over a fire, and cook a "make ends meet" dinner by the time they were in 7th grade.

    Or even better.... Brisket Camp IV. They would certainly get an education there, and the fire department should DEFINATELY be alerted. Seriously, though, kudos for the effort you are giving those kids. There is nothing quite like the look on a kid's face when they make something and it tastes awesome... so, don't let that other guy screw up their cooks.

    This is exactly the types of skills schools should offer to children. What a great life skill that so many don't have.

    I'd pay airfare for an unsuspecting kid from Midland to attend Brisket Camp. 

    Probably too late to arrange this year but maybe we arrange a couple of "scholarships" for the most promising students next year. 

    Of course, SciAggie wouldn't be allowed near a school after that...

    I think @SciAggie and @texaswig should collaborate on a HS cooking/BBQ school or camp for HS kids at the former Dodge dealership.

    Actually, it's more macabre than that. All bleeding stops eventually, even when pressure is not applied. The outcome differs. But far better to apply pressure and hope the bleeding stops, than to not do so. 

    Back to regularly scheduled programming now :)
