On Friday the 13th Mrs. Folchi's 21 third graders at Loyalton Elementary School made Spooky Spider Biscuits with the Plumas Sierra Cattlewomen represented by Pat Ramelli, Lorrain Church and Nancy Thompson. With Halloween approaching, it was appropriate that these scary critters should be constructed out of biscuits, ground beef flavored by taco seasoning, spider web cheese, drippy red ketchup and unusual olive eyes. Eight pretzel sticks representing the legs completed the monster spiders. Not to be frightened the third graders devoured the creatures with never a worry..
Demonstrating another versitile way ground beef can be used is just a small part of the Plumas Sierra Cattlewomen's mission. Another aspect of the beef industry has to do with the by-products from cattle.Almost 95% of the cow is harvested into useful products that play a major role in our daily lives. From the cow's blood, brain, bones, hair,skin, fat, internal organs,and hooves/horns we get so many household items not to mention meat, milk products and fertilizer.
It is very difficult to be a vegan..
While the spiders were baking, each student worked on a puzzle to find these products as well as having fun putting together the story adaption "There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bun". Combining learning new facts with cooking/eating is a very positive experience for one and all..
