This morning we went to Charlestown Farm. We looked at their chickens - we learned that if you have food, the chickens will rush to you. Miss Susan, the farmer, sells the eggs for $4 for a dozen. We think that's pretty expensive. Then we went to go pick a couple of potatoes. We picked them by hand, with a big metal fork. The potatoes looked a little yellow or golden brown. After that, we went to weed their cabbage patch, for the "eight thousandth time" as Eric says. This time was easier to weed because there weren't many weeds and they were right there - they weren't surrounded by flowers or anything like that.

In the afternoon we cooked with Miss Yvonne and Miss Denise and everybody made their own pizza. Megan liked the lemon basil and oregano, Eric liked the pepperoni, and Tony liked the mushrooms. We used cheese, sauce, pepperoni, mushrooms, all types of peppers - sweet and jalepeno - basil, lemon basil, oregano, dried tomatoes and regular tomatoes, yellow squash, eggplant, and swiss chard. The base of the pizza was a pita bread. We started with pita bread, then put sauce, a few of the toppings, cheese, and then we put it in the oven for a couple of minutes to make a pizza - italian style! We liked the pizza. Some of us think we would make it at home.
