We grew herbs and made a herb garden in our classroom to to show sustainability. We then used the herbs to make food, as I will show. The way that this answers the essential point of the LULS project is that you learn about sustainability by growing and making your own food.

First we harvested our basil plant. Then we got some organic mint and flat leafed parsley.

We then added a 1/4Th

cup of each of them. and placed them in a blender with a cup of yogurt and a teaspoon of lime. Also a tablespoon grey poupon.

After thoroughly pureeing it I poured it into a bowl with another cup of yogurt and then stirred it slowly.

Then pour it on chicken or fish and you are done.

..... I Learned how to cook using herbs and such and how to grow herbs and use them in a recipe. The sauce tasted great it might have tasted better if we added the missing ingriedient (cilantro). Cooking this way has changed my thinking because I learned that cooking with herbs is fun and I will do it more often because it tastes fresher.

I got the recipe out of the Union Tribune newspaper on June 4th, 2009.

I went to a

farmers market on

Mission Blvd. And I got to take a look at all of the fruit, vegatables and juice made by local farmers. I realized how good fresh squeezed juice tastes compared to things that are sold in the grocery store. I think I will be going to the farmers market a lot more because there is a group there called Schaner Farms that sold the most amazing fresh tasting orange juice and I want to get some every Saturday. Its good to support these small businesses because they are better and fresher and more natural (organic) and have no pesticides.

1.The firework blasted off into the night sky, going up 30 feet then bursting into millions of colored sparks. It looked like a beautiful giant flower still with the stream of smoke that it left, made it look like a stem. But it disappeared into the night sky. And polluted the atmosphere.

Then Revised...

Firework blasted off into the dark sky as I was sitting on the cold sand. I was sitting on the soft sand that smelled of lake water I could smell the bon fires around the beaches. As the firework went boom you could hear everyone shouting and you could see the fireworks million different colors disappear into the night sky.


2.For one assignment i was supposed to start off with "The beautiful princess awoke from half a century of sleep" i was in a dark mood so I wrote.

The beautiful princes had been asleep for half a century under a spell when she woke up everyone was dead and she was the last living person on earth. And all around her there were dead people and nothing. The ground was bleeding with dead living creatures blood.

3.For another W.E.X. we had to write a wex about a time you misjudged someone based off appearance.

One time i was walking down the sidewalk and there was a guy sitting against the wall eating a small part of a burrito with a torn shirt. I gave him some change. I turned around right as he was finishing the burrito and was getting into a work truck with another guy that looked like him. Then they drove away. I thought because of what this person was wearing and what he was eating that he was homeless. But he was just a worker. I was wrong.

1. What strikes you about their movie?

I think the thing that most strikes me about that movie is that they have so many plants in their backyard. And their car runs off of bio diesel and they use all homegrown vegetarian food.

2. What do you think the Dervaes’ family Needs vs. Wants sheet would look like? Why?
I think that for their needs it would be a very small amount of money because they use all homegrown and reusable sources. and they even sell the food they don't.

3. How does the Dervaes family fit into what we are studying in My Ishmael?
This relates to my ishmael because My Ishmael talk about all of this and how we need to stop ruining the earth.

Ithink that the Dervases are really cool for doing what they are doing to help the environment. They live almost like the Amish except that they have a car and a refrigerator.

That culture is recognized by the same people living in or around the same area. I agree with Ishmael that we are all the same culture because we are a little bit of everything down the line and were all inherently flawed.

I agree with mother culture. All humans are flawed no one is perfect. Bad things always happen to people. They will always do something wrong.

The leavers are the ones who are criminals and just decide to do whatever they want. The Takers are like our society and the rest of us.
