Hey it’s Carisma again. How have you been? I’ve been great. Our chili starter is doing great. We just had a chili starter promotion at Chateau Buffalo on Saturday. It was a lot of fun. Six different chefs made their own variety of chili starting with our chili starter. All of the chili was good. We even had some vegetarian varieties. The promotion went very well, and according to schedule. At the beginning it was a little slow, but around 2:30 it started to pick up. At 2:00 we opened the doors for people to come in, and start tasting the chili. A lot of people liked the chili with venison in it, especially with the lime. They also liked SaSha’s hot chili. Her chili was extremely hot, yet very good. We really didn’t have to do much. Mostly we filled people’s cups with the kind of chili they wanted. We also told them what was in the different kinds of chili. Our chili was pretty popular also, but in the end it was the spiciness of Sasha’s chili that won her the prize. She won a nice bask...

Factory farming

My name is Adriana Ragland. For school I wrote a thesis paper on factory farming. Factory farming is basically farming industrialized. These strong operations are able to produce food in high volume but they don't think about the envir onment, animal welfare, or food safety. Most of the animals in factory farms live in horrible conditions and are confined in dark over crowded facilities. Factory farming started in the 1920s soon after the discovery of vitamins A and D, when these vitamins are added to their food, animals no longer require exercise and sunlight for growth. This allowed large numbers of animals to be raised indoors year round . One of the biggest problems that was faced in raising these animals indoors was the spread of disease, which was fixed in the 1940s with the development of antibiotics. Farmers found they could increase productivity and reduce the operating costs by using machinery and assembly line techniques. In Factory Farming a...

Hey guys its me Carisma from Growing Green Works. Well today we did a session on what is and is not participation for our group. We made a big list of what participation really is and is not. Did you know staring off into the distance can be seen as not participating? I of course have to remind myself to not do that during the summer. I have to set a good example for the in comingd kids me being a veteran in all. So if any of you bloggers out there know Marques Houston, please tell him to stay out of my head. On the up side if we bring useful ideas to the group, not having side conversations, and are showing we are really interested in what the group is doing at the time we are participating. We only have five more class days until we break for a few weeks before the summer jobs start so its not a lot of time to get ready to interview and teach and stuff for the new GG youth. Have you ever had a little amount of time to get something memorized and found yourself cramming to mefmoriz...
