An outside fair with no power means it’s Snack Attack! time.

Mango Chia Breakfast Pudding
Strawberries Get the Blues
Kohlrabi Cracker
Cauli-Tofu Jalapesto Bite
And learned why not to eat sugary drinks as snacks.

For the grains class we learned different ways to cook a grain
Everyone helped grind the gomasio, a sesame seed and sea salt condiment.
To put on our Japanese Hot Pot covering pressure-cooked Hato Mugi (barley), brown rice and Emmer, alongside Baked Millet Quinoa and Corn.
