Another great day in the kitchen. We were very very productive.

Our morning was all about chopping, Tomato Salsa, Tomatillo Salsa, Guacamole and then all of the fixings for A Burrito Bar.

Here’s how to remove the pit from an avocado

While on our field trip we made an unscheduled stop at Hooked the fist store on Queen Street East where we learned about local Lake Huron fish. Thanks for the lesson about the perils of gill net fishing for our natural environments.

Next stop was Meating on Queen, where George and his son Jeffrey shared their tips and techniques with us about their famous sausages.

This is the mixture for George’s Moroccan Chicken Sausage, his wife’s favourite.

Our farmer’s market field trip got sidetracked by an intense desire to bake. We returned to the kitchen and made oatmeal cookies and strawberry tarts with hand made pastry and custard.
