Eating from the Garden

Students have been enjoying harvesting, preparing, and eating food from the garden in the past two weeks.  Our first experiment was salsa, made with our own tomatoes, peppers, and cilantro.  Several teachers who tasted it asked for the recipe, but we think it was not the recipe that made it so good--it was that the ingredients had just been picked!  This week we harvested our basil and made pesto.  In both recipes we used garlic that had grown all last winter and was harvested in the summer.  Our lucky principal dropped in just as we were serving and got to sample the pesto with angel hair pasta.
