Abundance from the garden led us to a cooking activity this month on our afternoon together. Cherie and Dan yielded a huge bunch of chard from their garden. Then many hands made light work with slicing the chard, leeks, zucchini. Everyone joined in again with stuffing the wilted vegies into the cannelloni shells. The finished product made a delicious shared dinner, eaten up eagerly by most. Our conversation circle canvassed what each person had enjoyed about the shared activity and comments included – some of the kids said they enjoyed eating the end result plus playing outside with the discarded chard stalks, and one of the mums said she enjoyed seeing how much the kids helped out, made her proud. Another great afternoon of community activity!
