Social Studies Project (aka George's Excellent Adventure)

George has a social studies project due next week. He is supposed to pick out a place in the community that he likes to visit with his family and make a brochure about it. We talked about the Zoo, the Mud Hens, Wildwood park, and even the Arboretum. Then he says "I want Inky's." I thought that was a good idea, a restaurant locally owned with some history to it. So, I called Frank, one of the owners, to ask if it would be OK for George to come talk with him. Frank tells me to have George come in the afternoon and he'll not only talk to him but will let him make a pizza and take pictures. WOW!
So I'm not sure which of these pictures will actually end up in the brochure, which we'll make this week using the computer, but George had the time of his life - combining his 2 favorite pasttimes, cooking and computer.

He was even nice enough to take Estelle along with him for the adventure.

So you put the crust in the pan, then you put on the sauce.

Choose your toppings (pepperoni for George, pineapple and mushrooms for Estelle (OK - she's a bit strange but she ate it all ...)



Looks good - make faces with toppings above the cheese ... classic strategy for pizza!

Then while you wait for it to bake you get to play in the freezer and hold a ginormous knife. Yikes!

So now the pizza is about to be served, you need a soda - which they learned is called "pulling soda".

TA DA! DEEEEELICIOUS!!
