Thanksgiving in Julian

We had Thanksgiving dinner at cousin Tom's new house (and bird farm) in Julian. The best part was getting to feed the chickens! Seeing lots of Nickel family members and eating extra desserts were good, too.

Farm Fresh Fieldtrip

I was in the green group. We made kale chips, with a shallot vinaigrette and some lettuce wraps. We had a limit of $7 to shop at the Ferry Building farmer's market. Chef Roger helped us. The first picture is of all of us working together. We worked for almost an hour.

The next photo is of our dish, which we all got to try! It was my favorite because (1) I made it, (2) The dressing was really good, (3) The flavors blended together really well. One tip (if you make lettuce wrap salad) is to drench it in your dressing. 

No School = Take Your Daughter to Work Day

On Veteran's Day, I got all dressed up and tagged along to help with site scouting for a corporate puzzle hunt!

Corny Art

Gramalicia came to my class to teach an art lesson. We all made paintings of flint corn (also known as  calico or indian corn). We are pointing to my corn. I'm so glad Gramalicia was here all week!

Two Immortal Beings!

For Halloween, I was a Goddess at school on Friday. I'm Athena, see my owl?

Then at Stephanie and Christian's house, I was a vampire. See my hip beverage from Bloods R Us?
