Stir Fry and Egg Rolls and Some Chinese Words for Lunch

 Chef Katie asked Hocking Culinary student, Alice Wang to join us today. Alice's family owns the China Fortune restaurant in Athens, so she knows how to roll egg rolls! She talked to us about the different kinds of sauces and egg rolls or spring rolls in Asian cuisines and taught us a few Chinese words and phrases at lunch.








All thumbs up on the Chinese lunch!

Visiting Margaret Gustafan's Urban Farm

We visited the Urban Farm of ceramic artist, Margaret Gustafan today. She lives just a few blocks from the square and filled her city yard with vegetables, herbs, fruit trees, goats, honey bees, and chickens to feed her family. You can find Margaret at the Nelsonville farmers market selling her herbs and her pottery and soap is sold in the Nelsonville Emporium on the square. Margaret designed and planted the camp garden for us behind the First Presbyterian Church the last two years.
