WEDNSDAY
23 Today I was gardening .We harvested parsley spinach and lots more herbs and vegetables.We also planted potatoes and put up bamboo stakes and Ricki and I planted some beans.One really interesting thing I learnt was you can plant potatoes under moist newspaper with a hole in it and it stops the weeds from growing and killing your potatoes.Afterwards we all went to the hall and washed our hands! we were all looking forward to trying our lunch. We had jam drop buiscuts, small pizza scrolls,some thai pasta and some green veg salad. It was delicious,and I was so full I could not eat the lunch in my lunch box.YUM!!!

THURSDAY 7 Today I was cooking the people in my group were Toby,Bex and Harry we got to make custard.The ingreedience were egg yolk, cornflower,sugar vanilla and milk the part I found tricky was seperating the egg you have to crack the egg half way and use your thumg to prise it open then you have to let all the egg white run out this leves the yolk it was hard seperating the eggs but it was fun because we got to get our hands goopy .Next we mixed all of it together and heated it until it was ready we tasted a little bit it was delicious and creamy. After the gardeners came back we all cleaned up set the tables and got ready to eat the fun part is that we get to try what weve made and here what our other classmates have been doing. We ate pumpkin soup banana self saucing pudding and the custard we made it was all lovely today was so FUN!

THURSDAY AUGUST today I was gardening we harvested hugekumara from the terrace garden and waterad the plants with worm tea.I learnt that you have to water down thw worm tea befor you use it so you would take a small container and fill it up with worm tea and poor it in the watering can then you fill the container up with water you might do this 5 times with water then you water your plants we also re planted garlic we took it from the garden next to the pizza oven and planted it in the ginko garden.we also took some plants with big blue flowers to put them out next to the streat stall to sell.We went to the hall after our fun gardenning sesion to put out our cutlerey and wash our hands readdy to try the meal we had lemon muffins, kumara peices with garlic and lemon and coliflower and broccoly fritters it was all naturally good as all of it came from our garden and we had made it ourself .We all helped tidy up we washed plates and dishes thet we had used while cooking we broomed all the floor and put things sutch as peels and food scraps in the worm bin to go to the worm farm today was so fun and the food was DELICIOUSE!

thursday september
====in the kitchen was were i was today were we were all fired up and ready to go my group Bex,Toby and harry were making the pasta for the ravioli we were having today.I learnt that you need to put pasta through the fatest setting before you can do the thinnest setting otherwise it shred and ripps apart and goes all un even.today we started on the fatest setting and went down to setting two wich was the second smallest setting.after we made the pasta and it was long and thin the teachers cut it into midium sized peices then we took a small spoonfull of ravioli mix made up of silver beet,parmesan,ricotta and salt and pepper and placed it on each one then we wet our fingers and rubbed it around the blobb of mixture then we found a relitively same sized peice placed it on top and squashed out the air so the mixture was nicely compacted.mrs sylvestaput out the plates so there was girls and boys evenly at each table plates the gardenning people came back and we were ready to eat we had a delicouse moist sweet lemon cake it was soooooo tasty and the scrumciose ravioli that i made mmm.... the foood was perfecto!!!!  <span style="color: #ae00ff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">wednsday 27th ====
