Thank you both, when I bust my leg 10 yrs ago I was confined to a wheel chair for months. That taught me a big lesson.
Nor would I. My DH's mom fought with the school board when he finished kindergarten--the trustees decided he was "retarded and should attend special education classes." I wish the trustees were still around so he could send them a letter thanking them to let him attend "normal" school and that he could sign it with his name followed by all those initials he has earned the right to use...2 undergraduate degrees, 1 Master degree, and a Ph.D. He also has five patents. Instead of classifying him as "retarded," he should've been tested for giftedness.You sure have excellent communication skills now, Bolas. If you hadn't told us you were dyslectic I'd never have guessed.
Kathleen--that would probably be a great sticky under each of the recipe categories! I gave my mom a 5-ingredients cookbook when her memory started to fail and she could still cook. Now my dad uses it because he never did learn to cook (when he isn't making something out of a box).I like Chris's idea of starting a thread for recipes for Michael. When I set up house, I was given a Good Housekeeping Step by Step cookbook. The instructions were basic and the pictures ensured one could comprehend. Something like that would be good for a new reader who has cooking experience.
sparrowgrass said:He also wants to get a drivers license--but Michael doesn't read well. I used to work with adult literacy students, so after Christmas, I will ask him if I can help him study for his drivers test--seems like a perfect way to work on his reading skills. (And, we will do it after dinner at my house, so I can get some good food into him!)
Oh, you guys are all so good!! Yep, I bet he would love some recipes from all of you.
