Thoughts on Food

Hi I am Syd and here’s what I have to say……..

I have to say, that it is pretty cool that I get to see my mom at school.
When she worked at her other kitchen I didn’t get to see her as much,
Everyone at school keeps on coming up to me to tell me how great the food is. I think a lot of people
think hot lunch is great!
The garden is really turning out well! All of the
plants are shooting up beautifully. I mean the swiss chards are massive.
I also think it is pretty cool that we get to help out in the kitchen after school.
I get to talk to my friends and work at the same time!

Until next time when I serve up some info.

What a great day! Planting! We had a wonderful turnout for the Wesley garden’s official planting, and we now have, corn, tomatoes, zucchini, pumpkins, watermelon, beans, onions, two colors of eggplant, carrots, beets and a vast array of herbs. It will be a delight to cook with these fresh, clean, foods.

I came across a 1922 pamphlet published by Lucy Gillett, where she discussed children’s diets. Here’s some advise from the author that found of interest, hope you do too. “The child is the adult of tomorrow. The kind of food a child has today determines to a considerable extent the fitness of the future citizen. Those who direct the feeding of the child have a responsibility, which cannot be overlooked. Good food habits should start today. Tomorrow may be too late.” Relevent in 1922, Relevant in 2007!

Check your emails and look on the web site for September’s hot lunch menus. As I write this we are working on getting the kitchen ready and can’t wait to start cooking in September.

Hello to everyone from the garden! Summer is in full bloom and full of heat and sunshine and the planting of the first ever official Wesley garden. Today we tilled up the old dirt and added organic compost, and we’re getting ready to plant next week. We‘re guessing that we’ll have close to a _ acre when we are done. Stay tuned till next week when we start to plant. ‘till next time.
