Our class decided to grow an herb garden to see what it is like to be able to grow your own food. In the LULS project we did a lot of research on modern day people that grow their own food and take advantage of the resources around them. I think the point of growing our own herbs was to see that in reality it is really not that hard to live sustainably.

 

I made my guacamole, I used the cilantro from our class garden and organic tomatoes. My secret ingredient is: Tapatio(hot sauce)! Harvesting the cilantro was easy I just carefully pick of the little leaves and wrapped them in a wet paper towel.

 

Ingredients:

3 ripe avocados

2 organic tomatoes (chopped)

1 hard boiled egg

½ chopped onion

2 teaspoons of salt

3 tablespoons of cilantro

Tablespoon of Tapatio!

 

*Keep in mind the amount of each ingredient is up to your own personal liking!

My guacamole was really good! The way that I make guacamole is a little different then anyone else because the recipe I use, I got from Costa Rica. If I could go back and do something differently I would probably done a more exciting dish. Doing this whole growing herbs project has changed my opinion a lot on living sustainably. I use to think that I would be the biggest pain to have to grow food and then harvest it, yet after this whole project I had a completely different mind set. I realized how lazy I am, and how unmotivated our generation is.
