"There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't."

Rabindranath Tagore
Nobel Prize Winner for Literature 1913

May you be the first as I am! Warning: That may mean you fall flat on your face at times.

Our cooking club.

We use to have a cooking club from Scholastic. Unfortunately they have canceled the club. They no longer do that monthly club. We loved it. Each month for about $7.00 we got a little flip book that was a cookbook just for kids. Then there was always something that come along with the theme. One month we got a lunch bag that you could customize with some markers that it came with and a cookbook with different lunches. Another month it was all about desserts so we got some cookie cutters and a pastry bag with a couple of tips. We were wanting to do it for two years that way each of the children would be able to have a collection of the things that came. Plus it was fun trying to remember who opened the last one, trust me they always remembered! We still use the cookbooks and the items that came with them. The children recently entered a chili contest and tied for first place (they were the only kids who entered, lol) and they had found the two recipes in the children's cookbooks that they had. I did look around to see if I could find a way of ordering through Scholastic but wasn't able to find it. I did how ever find a great site for the book clubs. It's Book Clubs Directory. They have lists of book clubs that are out there and it's organized really well. When you pick the category you want: lets say Cookbook Clubs, they have the club, the offer, fine print (like you need a membership), and when it expires. They claim to have over 150 different discount book clubs with profiles. I'll be watching to see if a kids cooking club ever shows up, we loved it and miss it.
