One of my special interests is making things from scratch! I have no idea how or why it started. I've always been into baking but for the past few years I've been obsessed with learning about where food comes from and then trying to make it from the source!

My husband bought me a box of specialty fruit for my birthday and it came with a cacao pod and I was so excited to try and make chocolate... this is how it turned out!

It's a little gritty because you need specialized machinery to make it smooth like commercially produced chocolate but I'm excited about it anyway!

I fermented the beans for about a week at ~105°F and then I roasted them, turned them into cacao nibs and from there i blended them with some sugar, milk powder and cocoa butter and this is the result.

Again, it's pretty grainy but still delicious!

This may be weird, but how do you create a curriculum? I'm 26 so I've been out of school for a little while, but I've forgotten a lot of what I've learned and I want to relearn some of those things + some new topics that's I'm interested in & I think what I miss most about school is the structured learning. I've tried just "

researching different topics on my own, but it doesn't really hit the same and I feel like I'm not really learning anything.

So, where would I start in creating some type of curriculum/lesson plan for myself? And how can I make sure I'm getting info from reliable sources? 🤨

(I'm not super interested in college, I just want to do this for personal reasons, I think it'd be fun!)

Edit: Thanks everyone for all of the suggestions, tips, advice and even the criticism! I definitely worded some things in a weird way, but I appreciate you guys taking the time to read this! :)

I want to show this to everyone!!

How to create a lesson plan/curriculum for myself as an adult?
