Oregano-cation
Welcome back to my Blog.
Today I'm back with another AP, (Action Project,) which is a big project you do to bring together all the work you've done in the past few weeks. In our class called Food for Thought, we've been learning about food, about its history and where it comes from We did a few online FE's (field experiences) within the past few weeks (because of online schooling.) We did one this past Wednesday, where a woman named Carrie from Metropolis coffee showed us what "cupping" is. Which is basically coffee tasting, and smelling the, you know, smells of coffee. The Wednesday before that, we did virtual foraging with Dave Gold, and he found a bunch of plants and such all over his neighborhood that were edible. We also did a family tree, got as far as we could, (I got to about 3 generations back), and added their favorite foods. Mine will be at the bottom of this blog post. We also did interviews with people in our family on what some important foods in our family and/or cultural history are. What we were assigned to do in this Action Project is to write about an important spice/herb/seasoning in the first person, and make a Prezi presentation out of it.
The herb/spice/seasoning that I chose is Oregano, as you can probably tell by the title.
This is my video. Enjoy.
