Food Bank Community Harvest Volunteering

It started as finding an event for my son to complete his community volunteer hours, but ended as a fulfilling family trip that we would like to repeat.  This is our first time volunteering at the Blacks family farm in Stittsville for the Food Bank. Here is the program intro. Hats off to Tom Black! Stittsville Community Harvest Program - The Blacks Family Farm  This is a great volunteer opportunity for everyone! I see people from 5th grader to retiree today. For those city mouse like us, go harvesting and handling the produce we only encounter in the supermarket has made us appreciate the food more, a lot more. In August and September, the farm needs many volunteers to help harvest. The Community Harvest Program Coordinator, Jason Gray, is wonderful to work with. He gave clear instructions and demonstration, and worked along with us. Volunteer Signup The 1 km walk from the road to the farm Half of the farm How can a farm without a tractor ... 

家庭版肉松

肉松是早餐白粥的最佳伴侣! 自制肉松无添加剂,非常的健康。 因为有高压锅和面包机的帮助,过程轻松愉快。 制作时间虽然不短,但是不需要人守候,也算省力。 用料: 猪瘦肉    800g 料酒    1 Tbsp 盐        1 tsp 八角    2 桂皮    1 小段 姜        2 片 葱        2 根 水        500ml 菜油    2 Tbsp 老抽    2 tsp 盐        1 tsp 白糖    2 tsp 做法: 肉切小块,焯水洗净; 放入高压锅里,加入料酒、盐、八角、桂皮、姜片、葱节,加水刚刚漫过肉就好;开稀饭档(中度火力,20分钟); 将煮好的肉捞出撕成丝,去掉多余的肥肉;煮过的瘦肉一捏就烂,这步非常容易做; 将肉倒入面包机内,加入菜油、老抽、盐、白糖,开动果酱档(1:20); 做好的肉松放凉后密封冷藏,一周内吃光(通常会提前被消灭掉)。
