Been thinking you were missing from here, welcome back! What about aquaculture? I think there is great possibilities and a fun learning experience for your son ;) I am homeschooling this year and will be purchasing supplies for our science class doing this...

If he's picky good luck with TVP, my husband knew right away it was not hamburger (I did half and half) and was not happy with me for trying to sneak it in. I got rid of the two cans I had because we are avoiding soy products now.

Snapshot do you leave the rings on?
