It's mostly described as a berry festival that celebrates different berries, fruits, and food. A lot of work goes into preparing for Berry Palooza Day, there are different vendors that need to set up stations. Berries and fruits need to be showcased and food and berry sauces need to be prepared.  This event happens within one day. They even have berry flavored coffee, and a bike you can ride to make smoothies. On May 15, 2024 Berry Palooza day had new vendors , we also had different berry desserts like cakes, pies and cookies.  The weather was really great that day. Around this time the flowers were blossoming. The food was good and the fruits were fresh and beautifully displayed. Sincerely, L.K.G -------------- BookAkery: https:/

I'm going to need to buy a new laptop before it completely stops working. What's New? S ince the beginning of January 2024, I have been on my tea ban. It is now May 30, 2024 and in total I have been on my tea ban for about four  and a half months since I stopped drinking tea. As months passed I learn how to control the amount of much tea I drink.  Due to me working on campus, I get to have free coffee and food at the cafe. Even though I have the money to get coffee, I do appreciate this benefit. On May 14, I tried the White Chocolate Ma

Mediterranean Chopped Salad

O ver the summer I made a Mediterranean Chopped Salad at work. It tasted fresh and just like summer. As I was told, by another person who tried my salad. Mediterranean Chopped Salad is allergen and gluten free, however; people who are allergic to tomato and or critic acid won't be able to eat this Mediterranean Chopped Salad. (photo credit: L.K.G) The salad contains Cucumber and Tomato with Parsley, Lemon Juice, Olive oil and Salt and Pepper. Since I made this salad in a large quality, you might not need to use as many ingredients as I did. Serving size for one Cucumber : You can use two c ucumbers and chop them in circles or in half. Depending on the size of cucumber you might need more than two. Tomato: 2 cups of baby t omato Parsley: Use one parsley bunch. Chop off the larger stem of the parsley, you could either puck the leaves off the stem or chop the leaves and stem together. Lemon Juice: 2 teaspoon Olive oil: Use 2 tablespoons of Olive oil or enough to mix with your salad
