A Harvest on a Plate

 We finally got to cook some of our garden produce.

We grew about seven nice butternut squashes in our Living Lab garden.  On November 20 (about a week before the Thanksgiving feast) we had our own little harvest feast in the school library.Ms. Jess showed off the parts of the squash.

Ms. Jess taught about the parts of the squash.

We carefully peeled the skin, scooped out the seeds and pulp and cut the squash into cubes.

 Ms. Shahira helped cooked it up.  Check out the recipe here.

Ms. LouisCharles and most of the kids gave it a thumbs up.  

The bok choi and Swiss chard were tastes that we may have to take some time to acquire.
