A calculated quest for the very-best cookie...

Lucy has decided that when she grows up she will be a chef and a farmer. Baking is something we both enjoy very much.( Too much?) But really it is also one more way to teach math. Since not much progress is being made at school, this seems to be a good way to convince her of the importance of math in her life. No math, no cooking, no counting of baking times, no measuring if you want to double recipes. We have made progress, as we are tackling both the quest for the very best cookie, and the math challenge. Yummy progress....(obviously, I hope never to find the very best cookie but to relish every exciting new chapter in this the never-ending quest...)
