Eager to use the best of our local garden on the CIA campus, Jeong and I decided to see what we could "pull up" to use for our usual sunday meal. Featured in the photo below are a few of the best produce products available to the campus, such as: French Lavender, Fresh Celery, Lemon Basil, Green Peppers, Squash Blossoms, Cucumbers, Roses, and hot peppers.
To a group of cooks, it was an opportunity that couldn't be passed up.
