During lesson # 17 of Food is Elementary, our students returned to Africa for a visit to Egypt! In this lesson students learned that the Egyptian pyramids have a realtionship to the USDA food pyramid, that the first breads were made in ancient Egypt from wheat and barley, and about some of the foods that were used thousands and thousands of years ago in Egypt that are still used today.

Every spring, I wait for that transcendent moment when everything comes together and the season hits its most refreshing, jubilant, birds a-chirping note and there's no looking back to the bleak days of winter. That moment finally arrived last night over a couple of pizzas on the patio of Franny's in Brooklyn. I was with my dear friend John, we could see the Big Dipper, the pies were expertly wood-fired and I discovered the absolutely most perfect pizza wine ever in a glass of Bonarda from Italy's Lombardia region.
