NorthernBen. That's wonderful. Yep our kids can do wonderful things when they are interesting in the subject.

I have something on that lines my DS17 did last week while I was out of town. My husband reports to me that DS needed to bring in a food/drink for his Spanish class. He decided to make a Peruvian drink that we get at a local restaurant. He found a recipe online, figured out he couldn't buy one of the ingredients at the local stores. Found a store in a neighboring area, drove himself to the store and found the missing unusual ingredient. My husband came home to find him boiling up the drink on the stove. It came out well for a first attempt. Although he did turn a lot of pots purple. And he got a 100% on the project. This type of thing make me feel my kid is going to be successful at life even if he doesn't get the best of grades.
