There's a Recipe???

After we attempted to make Goo yesterday with Elmer's Glue and Tide, and after the attempt was somewhat unsuccessful (I will spare you the photos), the Boy said "Maybe on the handout they gave us it tells what kind of laundry detergent you are supposed to use."

The Hand Out.  Hmmm.

The Boy got the Hand Out from his book bag.  We weren't supposed to use School Glue but some other kind of white Elmer's glue that is specifically NOT school glue (?) and we were supposed to use Borox, not regular detergent.  And the proportions were clearly spelled out.  And some water was supposed to be included.  Since we had neither the right kind of glue, nor any Borox, we did not continue the Goo Making Project.  (The hand out called it Slime but I'm attached to calling it Goo by now.)

So instead we made pancakes.  Because there isn't enough rhubarb to harvest yet for the Pie Head Congressional Dessert Caucus Meeting coming up.  And it's raining.  Do you think the rain will hurt the rhubarb?

I like the name Goo, too. Or Geeewwwww (for the recipe that never was).

It's not raining here, but it looks like it will at any moment....
