Pemberton Potatoes

The Foods 11/12 classes are starting to think about, and form an opinion about Genetically Modified food.

Pemberton, BC takes this issue very seriously.  In an effort to keep their potatoes pure (and they are some of the best in world), seed potatoes are not allowed into the area.  Farmers do not want to cross contaminate their potatoes with "modified" potatoes.  So, when you buy Pemberton potatoes, you are getting a food product that is naturally good.

We've been busy - here's an update

We've had a busy Fall in all of our Foods classes.

Foods 11/12 had their own Thanksgiving dinner

The students planned all aspects of their meal - the theme, the food, the duties, and they had  a successful dinner (thankfully :).

The Foods 9/10 classes organized a Breakfast Invitational, planning and preparing an "egg"cellent breakfast for a few of their friends.  The menu included omelets, toast, and other treats.  Guests read interesting facts about eggs, and breakfast.  It was  an "egg"straordianry "egg"perience for all.

Here are some pictures of a few of the table settings and treats.

Well done everyone!  We are "egg"ceptionally proud of all you .... and that's no yolk.
