Many, many thanks to Caroline Richardson (Max's mom) for coming in to talk with our class on Tuesday. Our class learned some fascinating things about salt and the human body, and the necessity of maintaining a precise concentration of salt in ourselves. There were some fascinating stories told!
The children have also been conducting some exciting cooking projects with salt. Two variations on an old-time catsup recipe are awaiting their taste trial tomorrow, and I expect they'll both be delicious. Yesterday, the class was served a scrumptious salad seasoned with lime juice and black lava salt—I highly recommend it! On our trip to the Spice Merchants store in Kerrytown last week, the children chose five varieties of salt to use in their projects, and the differences in taste are fascinating. And after break, we'll find out whether or not some brave students have managed to effectively preserve beef and salmon using various salts and herbs.
