Last week we welcomed Ms. Paula to our classroom for a special lesson. We learned about climates and food harvesting. In our discussion of seasonal growing, we learned the benefits of using in-season and local ingredients in cooking. Great ideas were shared, including that food has better flavor when harvested at peak time and more resources are used to grow and transport food when it is not local, resulting in increased cost and a cost to the environment.
Ms. Paula led us in making the most delicious butternut squash and thyme soup as well as a fresh apple crisp topped with vanilla ice cream. We are grateful to Ms. Paula for her time and expertise.
