Whirlwind

Well, hi! It feels like it's been a long time since I posted here because so much has been happening! First, we had our last week at Highfield Hall. The Young Epicureans requested candy apples and taffy (which they flavored with cinnamon and peppermint oils). Just for fun we threw in some caramel apples too. Tasha colored her taffy blue before she pulled it.

In Kids Cafe we made my Kitchen Sink Chocolate Chip Cookies (because there's a little bit of everything in them!) and Acai Berry Smoothies. I think the smoothies were as big a hit as the cookies! A good time was had by all, and it was a lovely way to end our time on the hill. What could be better than warm cookies on a chilly fall afternoon?

This past Thursday I headed over to the Falmouth Senior Center to talk with the members of the Falmouth Beautification Council about what we're doing at the CCA and to thank them for the generous grant they gave us to use for the kitchen garden this past summer. Their support has meant a great deal to all of us and we hope to help them out again this coming spring during their big plant sale. Last year we made our own seed pots out of newspaper and planted bean seeds.
