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 loved Ms. Nancy’s cooking class so much.! I have been in this cooking class for two years and I would love to sign up for another one. I tried a lot of new foods like winter squash, cardamom, Brussels sprouts and kale. My favorite salad was the kiwi, carrot, radish salad.
Not only did we cook and eat, we also did labs about food. We used rulers to measure the size of plants. We also explored stone fruits and their ripe season. Now in my house we have window boxes and I am growing cherry tomatoes and basil.
I learned that we can use a lot of different tools to cook, not just our hands and senses. We used safety knives, potato peelers and a carrot sharpener (I wonder if you could sharpen a pencil with it?) !!!
Because of this class I can help papi make dinner and I will try any new food at least once to see if I like it. Thank you, Ms. Nancy for making cooking fun and interesting and helping me be excited about food.

- Love, K (a 7-year-old boy).
