An Edible Jabot Honoring RBG

September 26, 2020 • Nancy Wolfson-Moche

Sometimes her neckwear sent a message. To convey her disapproval of newly-appointed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh RBG wore a spiky gold bib. To Obama’s first address to a joint session of congress, she donned a white lace necklace that signaled open flexibility.

Here, I’ve crafted a rhythmic progression of fresh-picked Tokyo bekana leaves strewn with feverfew flowers. Bekana is a fast-growing, fibrous hardy Asian green that reflects RBG’s persistence. Its leaves have veins forging intricate pathways, the way RBG’s mind worked as she explored each issue from every possible angle.

The feverfew flowers are medicinal and anti-inflammatory. RBG notoriously said, “Don’t be distracted by emotions like anger, envy, resentment ….[that] just zap energy and waste time.”

Eat this raw, sprinkled with fresh citrus juice: orange, lemon or lime.

RIP, RBG.

Icing on the Cake: Testimonials

I’m very impressed by all the elements you are able to pack into the lesson without it seeming at all overwhelming: the review, the actual cooking skills, the creativity of coming up with their own dishes, the chance to present their creations, the opportunity to learn about and share thoughts on something else (in last week’s case, the feelings represented in the book), the execution of their  jobs, the responsibility for one’s station/implements and the overall following of directions…..all without losing the fun quotient. No wonder the kids love coming!  You’ve really created something special so kudos to you!
