The official student meeting for Quest was held today and about sixty kids attended. They were respectful and very well behaved. The first question that was asked? How big can the knife be? The boys love their knives!
We logged three miles in a gentle snow. I reviewed the chapter on the twelve classes which I will probably start editing tomorrow. I also edited the letter to the adult leaders and made copies of the recruiting chapter.
The project I tackled was unique. I cut most of the kale, celery, parsley, rosemary and dill in the garden and tried to preserve them. The kale seems pretty tough and some of it was yellowed and infested with some tiny bug. It had to be blanched, cooled and dried. By the time I was done, there was only a handful to freeze. The celery was better. I washed, sliced and flash froze it to be used in soups over the winter. Then the parsley. I snipped it into an ice cube tray, added water and then froze it. Tomorrow, I'll pop the cubes into a freezer bag.
