What are these teens cooking up?
The ingredients include liquid starch, school glue, food coloring, water, and, for good measure, some small foam balls.
When done, their concoction is called Slimey-Wimey Goo, which turns out to make a type of foam that can be molded.
It’s one of the Ada Public Library’s after school activities for teens. Oh, and they were served waffles (the real kind) made by Natalie Walton, library youth activities director.
“Chefs” are Elsie Allen, Madison Archer, Alden Boulanger.
