Follow this link to a great article at Grit.com for a great idea for a warm Farm House dinner, hopefully highlighting a few of your favorite things: Roast chicken, roasted root vegetables, crusty bread, homemade butter, and Pecan Pie - yum, yum!

Great Green(s) salad
Last Friday the last E3 Friday Gardening group made and ate a delicious salad with all locally sourced and just picked produce (it almost all came from the Green School's garden and farm). Our salad included: spinach, mustard greens, kale, swiss chard, pea shoots, radish, radish greens and apple.
We also made our own honey mustard dressing. All together a perfect blend of sweet and savory! Some students ate dressing, some students had no dressing, but either way the salad was a hit based on all the empty bowls!
Another amazing find is happening with the sunflowers. The sunflowers that were not harvested and left whole for the birds (by the front door) are sending out new sunflowers! Simply amazing. I didn't know they could or would do this.
Stop by and see! It's 67 today - crazy!

E3 Friday Food Studies
During the winter this year, as the garden and farm sleep, E3 Fridays for the Gardening and Farming group will focus more on eating food than actually growing it. Tolerance Cuisinesm will study food through the lens of culture. We will look at how things such as culture influence food, how geography influences food, and explore world food history and food traditions. We will also focus on dining etiquette and compare and contrast cultural dining etiquette's.
Hopefully your kids' palates will expand and their dining manners will become a little more refined. By studying food through the cultural lens we also hope that students' tolerance for other cultures and communities will broaden.
Keep a look out here. We plan on including recipes from our sessions that you and yours can share in making and enjoying at home.
