i need to come up with foods that represent the setting of my book for a project. i have to have the food, and why it represents the setting. my book takes place at the beach, in santa fe, nm, and at harvard. help!!


Answer
You can always be creative. The more creative your project, the more impressed your instructor will be. The instructor will immediately recongnize your gallant efforts to be the best!!

We have natural beaches, manmade beaches, etc. For white beaches, use table salt. To be creative and have a brown, tan, light brown or black beach add food color to your salt or rock salt. Hope this helps. or spray with food coloring (hair dye may help) but definitely food coloring.

Better yet, salt comes from the sea, lake, ocean, (water) etc . So that could probably help with your food as far as representing the setting.

How would you describe Cleveland to someone who's never been there?

I've never been there (other than the airport) and was looking for someone to briefly summarize what it's like and how it compares to other major cities. Thanks!


Answer
Cleveland is a highly cultured city with four distinct seasons of weather and its downtown is the heart of the 15th most populated combined statistical area in the U.S. Its compact downtown uniquely has MLB, NFL and NBA sports venues all within a 15-minute walk of each other. And about 15 minutes from downtown is University Circle, one of the nation's great cultural centers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_United_States_Combined_Statistical_Areas

University Circle is the home of Case Western Reserve University, tied for the rank of 38th best national university in the 2012 U.S. News and World Report ratings; the Cleveland Museum of Art, one of the nation's best and with still free admission to its general galleries; and Severance Hall, often deemed the nation's most beautiful concert hall and the home of the world-renown Cleveland Orchestra. Also in University Circle are the very highly respected Cleveland Institute of Art and Cleveland Institute of Music. Also in the circle district are the very good Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Cleveland Botanical Garden, and Western Reserve Historical Society. The circle also is the home of two of the nation's leading medical centers -- the Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals.

Playhouse Square downtown is the second largest theater complex in the U.S. after Lincoln Center. It features several restored and enhanced vaudeville theaters, as well as some of the most innovative theater spaces in the country.

Greater Cleveland has rail transit lines, primarily connecting the airport, downtown, University Circle and the suburb of Shaker Heights, and many bus routes.

Cleveland is an international port thanks to the St. Lawrence Seaway. Located on the city's North Harbor are the city's architectural icon -- the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and the very good Great Lakes Science Center.

The West Side Market is one of the nation's best indoor public food markets, a magnet for Greater Clevelanders and tourists.

One hour west of Cleveland in Sandusky is Cedar Point, the roller coaster capital of the world. Sandusky also is ferry port for the short ride to the Lake Erie islands. Cleveland has a downtown beach as well as beaches the east and west of the city. Marinas dot the Lake Erie shoreline.

In Cuyahoga Valley National Park, just over 30 minutes from downtown are both downhill skiing and Blossom Music Center, one of the nation's very best summer music venues. The region is dotted with beautiful Metroparks, or county parks. Most famous is the Cleveland Metroparks, known as the city's Emerald Necklace. With over 22,000 acres, it features everything from toboggan runs, ponds for skating and fishing, and a lakefront beach to golf courses, baseball diamonds, stellar picnic areas, bike and hiking and horse trails, as well as excellent nature preserves.

Few American metropolises have been blessed with forefathers who so well preserved their region's natural beauty.

Holden Arboretum, about one half hour east of the city, is one of the nation's largest and best with over 3,500 acres.

Cleveland is a recognized regional restaurant center, featuring locavore creations utilizing the region's agricultural bounty.

Cleveland has a very cosmopolitan population, stemming from its days as an ethnic melting pot. Its people are hard-working, friendly, and polite, reflecting their Midwestern attitudes. One characteristic of Cleveland is that you'll rarely hear a car horn, and its drivers generally yield to other motorists.

Clevelanders are passionate about their sports, especially football, yet rarely show the rudeness to opposition players and fans found in other cities. Like most of the rest of Ohio, they are great fans of the Ohio State Buckeyes, which typically feature Greater Clevelanders on their sports teams. The Pro Football Hall of Fame is located in nearby Canton, Ohio.

Greater Cleveland is an affordable region, with relatively low housing prices, partially reflecting its declining population.

Individuals who like high culture, nature and the joys of four seasons of weather, enjoy their Cleveland roots.

Is it expensive to do a mosaic in your home?

I don't have lots of money, I might be able to buy a house soon and I am a very creative and artsy person. I have always wanted to make my house a work of art, you can't do that when you rent. Anyways, does it cost a lot to do mosaic's? I want to do one for my kitchen backsplash and one for my bathroom. What would a good practice project be, I would like to try it out on something that isn't permanent first like a table or something.


Answer
Have a go at mosaic borders around a mirror (glued on to a piece of ply board) they are small project areas so not too frustrating; and working with smaller pieces fragments of tile, mirror, shell or stone are easier to create and theme with. Broken tile fragments from building sites are free (with permission of course) bits of broken coloured glass look fantastic especially the blues and greens and reds and especially if they have ribs or textures. Coloured marbles (the type kids play with) cut in half add depth and dimension - very inexpensive just to name a few ideas... your only limited by your imagination. I have done mirrors, lamp shades, and a kitchen back splash in ocean themes (live near a beach) they look fantastic. A great Idea.

How can I run my home like a daycare so I can teach my toddler developmental milestones?




heather


I'm a stay at home mom with a 4 month old and a 20 month old. I want to learn ways I can teach my toddler developmental milestones that he may miss since he isn't in daycare. Things like talking, learning shapes, putting away things, ect. Any advice or links to web pages would be appreciated.


Answer
Well, as you say, the milestones such as learning shapes - you show your child shapes as they come up in everyday life - "We'll use the round kitchen table for lunch today, see it is like a circle" or "Put your little cars in the shoe-box shaped like a rectangle" .

For colours you just do the same - make learning a game, don't just do the usual primary colours (red, yellow, blue) - teach your child Apricot, Tangerine, Turquoise - teach MORE than they would learn in pre-school (which incidentally, is a relatively new idea, for thousands of years children have learned what they need at their mother's knee)

We home school and my 15 year old daughter has never been to school, she has learned everything at home, or on field trips with her home-school groups, workshops at the local University, travelling with me around Canada, the US and the United Kingdom.

I'd say talk to your children, all the time, talk about the weather, the days of the week, talk about what you are doing, where you are going, what you are making for lunch - not just "Lunch is ready" - but "Today I made delicious cheddar cheese sandwiches for our lunch and those crunchy sweet green grapes you enjoy so much!" Enrich their language, supply them with a full vocabulary of words for them to use.

Make sure they have paper, crayons, pencils etc, turn the TV off - go for walks, even a walk to the park or beach can be an adventure for children, there are birds to see, caterpillars to examine, pine-cones and leaves or shells and drift-wood to find and display when you get home.
