Andy is back at Johnson and Wales University for the Summer Teens cooking program. This is Andy’s first year doing the teens track and their fourth year cooking at Johnson and Wales. Andy was pretty excited when I picked them up from classes today. Andy and the team made pesto sauce for Italian day. They also made a couple of baked goods and they all got to fill cannolis for a treat at the end of the day. This week Andy will be learning dishes that are Italian, Greek, Korean and American and on Friday they get a secret basket of ingredients like the cooking shop, Chopped. Andy is most looking forward to basket day. Prior to today Andy was most looking forward to Italian day an well, that was today. Andy definitely at their fill because they were not that hungry for dinner tonight.
Part of dinner tonight was some fresh zucchini from our garden. Our first zucchini so far. When Andy an I got home we were looking at the garden and were surprised to discover these two rather large zucchini. We were not expecting that at all. We ate one with dinner. Sadly the carrot was not ready. Not sure how long carrots take but the greens ont he carrot were huge so I figured it might be ready. It was not.
