Lunch, Dinner & Baking

Hello. I am Claire Bennett. I am eleven, and I teach Junior Academy. Mrs. Hale is our headmistress, but this hour is mine. This is week 13. Today's lesson is Lunch, Dinner & Baking. Sit with me and we will learn it together. Breakfast taught us to begin the day. Lunch and dinner are how a household carries people through work, school, and evening. A complete meal is not three beige things on a plate. It is protein to last, a vegetable that is actually present, and a starch or grain that satisfies. Baking is chemistry you can smell — measure twice, do not open the oven to peek, and cool before you frost. And when the meal is over, we gather the fragments. Leftovers are not an afterthought. They are Tuesday's lunch, Thursday's soup, and a refusal to waste what God has given.
