Cell Anatomy

What?  This looks like a big glob of processed, non-food?

No, silly, it's mitochondria, ribosomes and golgi bodies inside a cell.  We're studying human anatomy this summer!

(incidentally, I was wondering if my kiddos would want to eat their non-food cell but didn't say a word.  They ate a couple bites of the candy then tried the pudding and said, "What IS this?!")

On December 7, 1941 the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii causing the U.S to join the allies in World War II.

Pesto....Presto!

Yep, Abby says, we definitely need to make some pesto!

Combine the follow in the blender:

3 full cups of fresh, organic basil leaves

1/2 cup pine nuts (you can also use walnuts though I prefer pine)

1/2 cup of unrefined olive oil

3/4 cup of grated parmesan or asiago cheese

4 cloves of garlic

real salt to taste

Pesto in 4 minutes.  Now I am off to take a just-slaughtered-free-range organic chicken out of my freezer and dress him up in this!
