Perfect Pumpkin Pie
With the glut of pumpkins in Kilmarnock (Killiewe’en had passed, what’s this Hallowe’en thing?) the Transition boys decided to make pumpkin pie. They were all Effective Contributors when they read and followed the recipe. Skills included; weighing, measuring, melting, grating and baking. They were Responsible Citizens when working with the hot oven, ensuring everyone was safe. They also took the time to practice their spreading and cutting skills by having a tea and toast social. A great Autumnal feast!

Muffin Magic!
The Transition boys were Confident Individuals this week when they made muffins for the Macmillan Cancer Support ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’. The boys carefully measured out the dry mixture, the water and milk and cracked two eggs into the bowl before mixing well. The muffin mix was carefully spooned into paper cases and baked in a hot oven. The boys reported that they tasted very nice!
We made four different smoothies, Orange, Pineapple, Banana and Blueberry. We followed our pictorial, written and sequencer recipes. Were all responsible for making a different smoothie. We did a taste test at the end and the most popular smoothie was the pineapple one.
