@Cyborgneticz i think there are some real convos to be had about what kinds of education is most helpful to prospective teachers but to say you shouldn’t have it at all is just ludicrous

@soph_sol it did seem very like basket weaving! a bit easier in some ways maybe, because you have a frame to work off, but that also means you have the teensiest lil holes in said frame to get all the cane thru so ehhh

@soph_sol this is so cool! i had a similar experience while learning to recane a chair the other day

funny index entries in an old french book 

@varve ah yes!! «The first marshmallows were prepared by boiling pieces of root pulp with honey until thick. Once thickened, the mixture was strained, cooled, then used as intended.[3][4] Whether used for candy or medicine, the manufacture of marshmallows was limited to a small scale. In the early to mid-1800s, the marshmallow had made its way to France, where confectioners augmented the plant's traditional medicinal value with indulgent ingredients utilized by the Egyptians. Owners of small candy stores would whip the sap from the mallow root into a fluffy candy mold. This candy, called Pâte de Guimauve, was a spongy-soft dessert made from whipping dried marshmallow roots with sugar, water, and egg whites.»
