Today is the second day of the 10th grade two-day retreat.  We went to a new restaurant located in the Strip District in Pittsburgh to learn  how to make our own food.  We prepared a salad with a delicious vinagrette, a mocktail (a mock cocktail that had lemon, organge, jazmin tea and mint), we made our own pasta with a pasta machine and we created our own dessert. To make our desserts we were given pieces of cantaloupe, raisins, cranberries, blackberries, wallnuts and whipped cream.

This restaurant buys the food directly to farmers because this way they help the local economy in Pittsburgh and you know where your food is coming from.

The name of the restaurant (in case you are in Pittsburgh) is Bar Marco.
