We made mozz! Murray's Cheese gave our CCNY and HSMSE students a primer on pasta filata (aka pulled curd). After sampling curd, smoked, fresh and water buffalo mozzarella, all hands were on deck to pull, squeeze and shape some excellent cheese! Thanks to Cara and Becky for pulling it off!

We had our first garden event at the RoofPod: Salsa y Merengue! It was a salsa showdown, people. CCNY and HSMSE students teamed up and used our garden and other local produce to make four different salsas. I think a certain peach salsa won. :)

First day back and the new Gastro kids got to know each other by answering questions like: What is your desert island food? What is the "weirdest" thing you have ever eaten? Where would you travel to just to try the food? Breakfast, lunch or dinner? They wore their answers. You are what you eat, after all. Right? :)

Gale Brewer, Manhattan Borough President, announced at our graduation last week that HSMSE and The Spitzer School of Architecture were jointly awarded a $200,000 urban agriculture grant to extend and develop our RoofPod garden! We're so excited to take on this project!

We took advantage of the beautiful Memorial Day weekend weather to tend to the RoofPod Garden. A big thank you to both the CCNY and HSMSE students for your hard work!

And we were appalled by the number of Cheetos flavors?

There are nearly 300 varieties of Kit Kat in Japan, where the candy is so popular that it is sold at high-end department stores, Kit Kat-only shops and even post offices.
