I'm relaxing on the couch drinking red raspberry leaf tea and listening to the sounds of London, my oldest, and Holden, my youngest, eat some Pretend Soup, which Holden just made with his father. Anthony, my husband, is getting ready to hardboil eggs so that we can dye them (hopefully he'll have better luck than Ramona, who cracked a raw egg on her head in Ramona Quimby, Age 8, which we're listening to on audiobook.
This week we did an extremely light homeschool schedule.

Reading She is reading an abridged version of King Arthur
Math lessons 1-4

hi, about the chicken gizzard i just cut it almost all the way through and tear it the rest of the way apart. when i start to tear it i hold it upside down over the slop bucket. when the inner tough coating tears, 90% of the time, all the food stuff and rocks fall away from the good meat. then i rinse it thoroughly and tear the inner skin from the gizzard.
the stuff that is in the gizzard isn't contaminating like fecal matter or bile. just rinse it away and you'll be fine. i wouldn't let the meat soak in that stuff. contact time is what is important to me for this stuff. a second or two easily rinses away.
