The Three Little Pigs


Jos came from Rainbow Valley Farms
to talk to us about the worm farm.
She brought her own worm farm!!!!
It has many layers.In the top goes the food but not big bits, just little pieces of food like not a whole apple.
You can't throw everything in , orange peel, kiwifruit, and meat are bad for the worms and they could die.
They like some paper that is ripped up into small pieces, vacuum dust, hair, fruit and veg scraps.
The worms eat the rubbish and make worm tea which is fertilizer for our gardens.







VEGGIE PINWHEELS-




Room 3 made Veggie rolls. We used heaps of silverbeet from our Room3 garden. We had cool fun making it, but our eyes got watery from cutting up the onions.
We washed the silverbeet and had to shake it to get it dry. It smelt real good when we sauted the onion,garlic and mushrooms. It was easy to roll up the silverbeet mix, then we baked them.
The best part was eating them - they were yummy,yummy,yummy in my tummy!
Try making this at home.

INGREDIENTS - 2x sheets of puff pastry olive oil for frying
- 1 bunch of silverbeet or spinach 1 onion
- 200g mushrooms 2 eggs
- 2 cups of cottage cheese salt & pepper to taste
- 3x crushed garlic cloves

1) Cook the silverbeet or spinach in boiling water, drain well and set aside.
2) Fry the onion and garlic in olive oil, add chopped mushrooms. Saute until tender.

3) In a bowl add spinach or silverbeet, mushroom mixture, cottage cheese, eggs, salt and pepper.

4)Roll out your sheet of puff pastry, just to make it a bit thinner.

5) Layer half the mixture over a sheet of pastry leaving 2cm from the border.

Using baking paper to assist, roll up each sheet like a swiss roll.

Repeat with the second sheet of pastry.
6) Glaze with egg.

Bake till golden at 200 C for 20 minutes.

Slice into vege rolls and enjoy!
