Week 36 2008 Little potato chefs Carrots: This week we are sending a lot of carrots to Italy. All Italian kids in school get a meal at the school, and especially in northern Italy they have chosen to serve organic food in most cities. That means that there are lots of lucky Italian kids, enjoying the carrots from Marienlyst for lunch at the time. Potatoes: A group of committed, young potato chefs from the local school's afternoon care came to visit us. They got to go harvest some potatoes out in the fields, of which they afterward cooked lovely potato meals. It was a really good day, for both the kids, and everyone at Marienlyst! Their jobs were done with great enthusiasm and curiosity. New Employees? Everybody pitched in at the conveyor belt. All that energy shown throughout the day, must mean that the future employees of Marienlyst has been found! It is fun to cook with potatoes Some very concentrated potato chefs The results of the day's hard work is enjoyed A carrot is yellow, right? This week we have extended the colors of the carrots. A carrot is found in lots of colors, and it is no law of the nature that it has to be orange. Originally the purple, white and green carrots were the most popular once. Later the yellow one was found to be popular, and that is where the name originates from. The orange color got its real breakthrough as the only right carrot color, when Dutch growers had grown this special variant back in the 16th century. It was in honor of "The House Of Orange", the Dutch royal family, that the people specifically chose the orange carrot Back
