Lunch from the Garden

We pulled 2 medium Kohlrabi, 1 red onion, 1 green pepper and 1 yellow squash.  I made the Kohlrabi and Squash Empanada recipe you'll find in over in the "New Foods Tried" portion of my blog.  I changed the recipe up a bit to accommodate what was ripe in the garden today.  It was the first time for us to taste Kohlrabi and it was delicious.  We loved it and can't wait to make more recipes with it.  Everything but the garlic and ginger, in the recipe, came from our garden (and the pie crust of course).

How my daughter earned $579.00 for her 8th grade class trip

I have been encouraging my daughter to write a blog about how she earned money to pay for her 8th grade class trip.  She, and her sister, are against it.  However, with today's economy her journey may be interesting.  If she does start up a blog,  I'll post the link.  Here is what she has done so far.  We are a long way from reaching the amount needed.

$22.00 earned from selling homemade macrame jewelry at an event
$12.00 earned from the summer library program for reading books

Amount still needed:  $545.00

It's been a difficult journey.  We'll see what happens over the next month.
