Spoke with some very inquisitive Girl Scouts last night. They wanted to know everything about what I do. Besides the usual “how I got into this,” (with a lot of luck) and “what do you actually do” (Eat), one girl asked how much money I make (I said I was lucky to get paid for something I love to do). Another wanted to know my favorite cookie. I couldn’t figure out which of those was more difficult to answer. One asked about the weirdest ingredient I ever worked with. (Kim Chi: fermented Korean cabbage). My favorite recipe (I settled on Tomato Basil Pie).
We also made smoothies from frozen blueberries, frozen raspberries, yogurt, milk, honey and wheat germ. We all agreed there were too many raspberries and not enough honey. But that was more or less rectified by generous extra squeezes from a big bottle of the golden goodness.
I were surprised by their interest and attention span. We were still going long after I thought I’d have bored them to death. Great kids.
