Popovers


Odd that I should come across a recipe for "Popovers." I haven't thought of them for many years, and prior to now, all the way back to seventh grade Home Economics class. Not a difficult thing to make, a combination of flour, salt, milk and eggs, mixed together, they turn out quite a tasty bread. Hmmm..Home Economics...I wonder if they even teach this in public school now days. A study that deals with the management of the home, including such topics as cleaning, handicrafts, sewing, clothing and textiles, cooking, nutrition, food preservation, hygiene, child development and family relationships. The bottom line is, it prepares students for homemaking. What a brilliant concept is that? I for one think it a worthwhile thing for both boys and girls. Can you just imagine how much better equipped for marriage young couples just might be, should Home Economics be taught? Add to the curriculum "Budget Keeping and Banking 101" along with basic moral values of honesty and kindness. Do you think just maybe we might have a better world?
