Get 'em Fresh!

I gave one of my Young Women a ride home Wednesday night. We joked and talked about the play she is in.

She was happy to announce to me that now, she even gets to say a line, where previously she had none.


I asked what her line was.



She belted out. "Bagels!!! Fresh bagels!!!"



"That's a great line!" I said with all sincerity.




"I know." she said ...with all sincerity.







We both smiled.




"Mmm fresh bagels" I pondered. "What COULD be better??"

Inspired, today I made Bagels. Here is one right smack out of the oven. D-E-licious.








P.S. Blogger warning: making bagels is not for the faint of heart. It's a tad bit tricky and more than a little bit time consuming, but oh so worth it!

The New Math (UNCLASSIFIED)
I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl
took my $2 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents
from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the
nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register.
I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two
quarters, but she hailed the manager for help. While he tried to
explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried.. Why do I
tell you this? Because of the evolution in teaching math since the
1950s:

1. Teaching Math In 1950s

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of
production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?


2. Teaching Math In 1960s


A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of
production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?


3. Teaching Math In 1970s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of
production is $80. Did he make a profit?


4. Teaching Math In 1980s

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of
production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline
the number 20.


5. Teaching Math In 1990s

A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and
inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the
preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit
of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for
class participation after answering the question: How did the birds
and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no
wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, it's ok).

6. Teaching Math In 2012

Un hachero vende una carretada de maderapara $100. El costo de la
producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha hecho?
ANSWER: His profit was $375,000 because his logging business is
just a front for his marijuana farm.

By the way, this is Maybelle. It's MahayhayhayBELL!
Some of you mentioned you haven't got to see her yet.
My goal for this summer is to ride her down the road. She's just a yearling.
