[greenbriar]

My students are studying Kansas History...we are talking about the Oregon Trail... Buffalo Chips
played an important part of cooking on the Oregon trail

so on Friday I am cooking buffalo chips for my students.


they are actually chocolate no bake cookies

1. UH. As fuel, not food. Fuel.

Be sure to note the distinction.

[greenbriar]

2. they know

they are grossed out by the thought of picking them up and "wouldnt' it smell while cooking"

great discussions


I thought this might be fun

3. In case you haven't. I would strongly suggest you inform your principal

to make sure you don't run into any problems.

[greenbriar]

4. already did

just have to make sure to tell everyone the ingredients

[amerikat]

5. I'm giving my class buffalo soldiers cooked over buffalo chips

with fava beans and a nice chianti. We need to get our lesson plans together.

[greenbriar]

7. that sounds cool

what are the buffalo soldiers made out of?

[amerikat]

8. desperation

but they taste like chicken

[greenbriar]

9. okay?

guess I am not getting it?


I have to make 240 cookies

I have about 149 students

going to make them little just about bite size

[amerikat]

10. Just saying that you could link buffalo chips to another part of our history

and you should have at least 298 cookies for that many students.....2 for each
just saying. And you should serve them actual size.
:hide: :hide: There is no smiley for dung or chips.

[greenbriar]

11. There are many things I could do, I just wanted to include a little fun

I have several students that will be gone so I will be making enough

and I am not making normal size, just spoonful

these kids will love it just the same

[amerikat]

14. I would know little without good teachers

I have good had good teachers to thank for much of my knowledge. They know who they are.

6. Oh!

I thought they were something else entirely.

12. I thought this was about the Donner Party

Never mind.

[greenbriar]

13. no just the trail in general

we got into specifics about relating it to kansas

the kids really got interested in buffalo chips and how it woudl affect cooking ect...

so I got the bright idea to make the cookies...

hehe

they don't know

[Canuckistanian]

15. Didn't the Plains Indians depend on them for fuel?

With scarce trees around, sometimes it was the only thing they could burn.

[greenbriar]

16. and the pioneers along the Oregon Trail

infact, it was the kids nightly jobs to gather the chips for firewood to make dinner
