Response to Prompts- Isabel Brennan

Vermont produces many different types of food, some more popular than others. Some foods and companies that Vermont is know for and famous for are: Maple Syrup, Cabot Cheese, Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream, Champlain Chocolates, and also King Arthur Flour. There are many other foods that Vermont produces, such as corn, apples, milk, butter and other dairy, wine, berries, potatoes, lettuce, beans, and many other types of foods. One of my favorite locally produced foods is corn because its delicious, easy to find, not too expensive, and easy to cook. There are many fish and animal products produced by Vermont, such as pork, beef, deer, many different types of fish and also a variety of poultry. With all of these types of food produced in our state, you would think that the schools all have food that is produced locally, right? For some schools, thats not the case. Mt.Abe has improved so much over the last couple of years with the meals that they produce. Mt.Abe has a garden where they grow lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, and many other vegetables. All of those vegetables are used to make the school lunches, which is really great. There are also other products at Mt.Abe that are locally produced, such as Cabot Cheese, and Monument Farms Milk. At Mt.Abe, it used to be all greasy, gross food that was served, like chicken patties, fish burgers, and curly fries. Its good to know that I am now eating food that is locally produced, because that also means that I am supporting near-by farms and businesses.

Hello! Sorry I'm so late posting these, I couldn't find my camera cord. So meals...

Breakfast! Toast and raspberry jam with coffee. Sometimes I'll also eat an apple or banana if we have any.

Lunch is tea and some clumsily-made crepes. This one, is, I think... raspberry and dark chocolate? Blueberry? Well, you get the picture.

Aaaand, dinner. Rice and grilled veggies. Nothing fancy here.... Red pepper, onions, zucchini... is that it? That looks like it.

Well, those are my main meals for the day! I often have breakfasty things for dinner and vice versa, so, this may not be a normal representation of my food habits, but... it serves its purpose. No pun intended.

Izzy's Meals of Thursday, February 22, 2012

You may notice the absence of meat in these meals.  I am a vegetarian, although the rest of my family eats meat, (lesser so in comparison to many).

• Breakfast:

For breakfast I ate a bowl of Multi Grain Cheerios (with half a banana), a piece of toast with natural peanut butter, and a cup of Earl Grey tea.  The bread is made locally, (Northfield Falls, VT).  The honey and milk I put in my tea are both products of Vermont.

•  Lunch:

Although I ate this meal at home over break, this is what I typically bring to school during the week, (hence, the smoothie in a jar).  For lunch I had a peanut butter granola wrap, along with a clementine and a smoothie.  My mom makes our granola, sweetening it with the maple syrup my family made last spring.  I made the smoothie using frozen strawberries from our garden, and organic yogurt also local (in Westfield, Vermont).

• Dinner:

This evening I ate a pasta dish with homemade pesto (from our own basil and garlic with Cabot cheese), broccoli, and sundried tomatoes.  With it I had garlic bread (baked at Stewart's bakery in Vermont), and a spinach salad with my mom's homemade vinaigrette. 

Izzy Moody Self Introduction

Hi, my name is Izzy Moody.  I am 15 years old, and am in ninth grade at Mt. Abe High School.  One of my favorite things to do is read, which I do whenever I can.  I also enjoy skiing with my family (no matter how little snow we have), and taking piano lessons.  I love both listening and playing music, and play the tenor saxophone in my school jazz band.  This is my second year taking French, which is definitely one of my favorite subjects in school.  I work picking fruits, vegetables, and weeding at a local organic farm during the summertime, and have a passion for good food.  

I’ve never hosted an exchange student before, and am so looking forward to this new experience.  I can’t wait to meet everyone in person, and until then hope to get to know people a little through this blog!
