They met in a salsa garden one hot summer day.
At night, they slept curled around one another.
One day, there was a salsa party.
The End.

I want to do this with my class. Way to incorporate hands on learning, food, fun, art and storytelling into writing!

Yes, absolutely. You could experiment with all kinds of food. Last year, I volunteered to do an art project with a K class. We had gone on a field tip to the local zoo, and the project involved bear habitats. We used potatoes, cut in half, into which I had carved bear claws in relief. We dipped the potato bear claws into tempera paints (multiple color choices), and made bear tracks across large sheets of paper to which we added drawings, writing, and magazine photo cuttings to complete the habitat. I had not thought of that project with the tomatoes and peppers until reading your comment. Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment. Check with yr local grocery to see if they are discarding unsold product.

A darting fear — a pomp — a tear —
A waking on a morn
To find that what one waked for,
Inhales the different dawn.
Emily Dickinson
Ah, yes! The pompous tomato
& the cocksure pepper
that last night our eyes did blind
this morning awake
in a bird’s beak –
& a dash of ruffled feathers.
