The Hartland Hash Slingers have just returned from the Jr Iron Chef
Competition, which was held at the Essex Fairgrounds in Essex, VT again
this year. Returning team members Daisy and Anyata, and new member
Ileana, showed culinary prowess in developing, cooking, and presenting
their recipe of
Potato Beet Pancakes. Ms. Bernstein and I were there to
lend moral support and join the fun- as the adult coaches, we were not
allowed to touch anything during the competition!
We
spent all day yesterday at the middle school and high school
competition, which is run by VT FEED and the Farm to School Programs. These programs promote healthy eating in our schools. Seventy-five teams
competed, so it was a busy place!

This picture gives you an idea of the atmosphere of industriousness in the huge room. These boys, assigned to the space next to us, are from Charlotte. They won Best in Show!
