You know you're doing homeschooling right when...

...your 15 year old says, "This reading from Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics is fascinating!!"

Pasta Night

This is what making pasta for dinner looks like in a household with food allergies:

that's every pot from my cupboard

Clockwise from bottom left: hamburger for everyone, gluten-free noodles for two, white sauce for 6, wheat noodles for 6.  On counter is small pot waiting for space to heat up tomato sauce for 1.  (One person got plain noodles and hamburger with dairy-free cheese b/c said person can't have dairy OR tomatoes.)

We're almost at the point where we're considering having certain family members ingest a parasite, just so their bodies have a real enemy to focus their fighting energies on, rather than themselves.

Sheesh.
