It’s time to go back to a little place called work. Because kids need to learn, and I need to be productive. Which includes doing my hair. To the average person, summer school might seem like a curse. Teachers are supposed to have summers off, right?! (I have now typed teacher’s about 4 times. This is a telltale sign that teacher’s such as myself should definitely not have the summer off.) But I have a little secret for you: I love teaching summer school! If nothing else, it gives me 20 good little 8-year-old reasons to splurge on that double shot espresso drink. Size grande. But after the double shot espresso, you better believe I keep my eyes on the true prize. Because prizes work for motivating adults, too. Never mind that my prize box is the refrigerator and the prize I want is a big bowl of spicy hummus. Don’t be jealous. It only takes 5 minutes to make! I’ll time you. Ready… set… A quick word about tahini: it’s sesame paste. You can buy it at Cub or other run-of-the-mill grocery stores (just ask a knowledgeable salesperson to help you find it). It costs about 5-10$ for a jar, and the jar will last you for many batches of hummus. If you don’t have it, and don’t want to buy it, use peanut butter or omit it altogether. 5 from 3 reviews And FYI – as of today, I’m now accepting gift card donations to all major coffee shops. My students say thank you.
