Getting the Farm 15: Cooking at WHR :)

One thing we love about our site is that any and all cooking is encouraged! Today at group lunch we had pesto pizza which was delicious, which one of the interns cooked.



We have also been making our own creations, including mint leaf lemonade; we collected the leaves from our front yard. Tonight we will try to make our own pizza. The plan was to use a solar oven they had built on the farm, but one of the interns is taking it to show at school for the next few days so a regular oven will have to suffice.



Our day trip to Austin yesterday was a TON of fun, it is a really unique city with a lot of cool things going on. We walked through a big art fair in the downtown area and saw lots of live music and different art / craft booths where people were selling their work.



We then saw the Texas Capital building, and drove through some of the UT Austin Campus. It was beautiful but the Michigan Difference was missing... not the same as AA. There are lots of cool places to walk / hike around, including a dried up river creek about 1.5 miles away, very beautiful around dusk. However, the walk back in the dark was a little spooky. More updates coming soon!
