I know this is something that is done at home. Josh, Lucy and myself have loads of fun baking together.
But this news report got me thinking (or rather remembering), when I was at school (many moons ago
) cookery was part of the curriculum. When did that stop - I thought it was a great idea, specially for those young men who thought it was just a girlies job

Neither my daughters (elementary) or sons (jr. high) schools seem to teach this anymore, and I figure others don't either by the look of the news report. Its a shame, I thought it would be very useful to kids.
