Happy blogging!

Sitting in my classroom watching my students create their own blogs on their shiny new IPads is actually more exciting and inspiring than I might have imagined. My growing cynicism and disenchantment with my community's public education system has hit a roadblock...and I like it....I like it a lot.

This group of very bright students has taken on a new challenge with enthusiasm and I look forward to following their blogs on a wide range of sociological topics (after all, this is sociology class).  Already their blog titles have blown me away: "Right on the Marx," "There is More to Self than Mead's the I," and "Garfinkel's Homie."  The class is a public education teacher's ideal situation and if only all of my classes could be made up of students exactly like these.

In the interest of continuing my own blog (which my husband and 6-year-old son were apparently not as excited about as I thought they'd be), and in the interest of my students' interest in my blog (whew, lots of 'interests' here), I am posting one of my favorite recipes for all to try.

Nectarine ginger wontons
12 wonton skins (found in the produce section of your grocer)
1 package of firm tofu
1/4 cup ginger dressing (also found in produce section)
2 or 3 finely chopped nectarines or any fruit of your choice (pineapple works well)
1 cup of any firm shredded cheese you like (I usually use cheddar)
S & P

Line muffin pan with wonton skins. I spray pan with organic veg spray first. Blend tofu and ginger dressing together. Mix in remaining ingredients. Fill wontons with a good scoop of mixture and bake about 25 minutes in 325 degree oven. Delish and nutrish!  Enjoy and always, always, always use organic ingredients whenever possible.
