HW 8- Re-do

 As said in my previous homework number 8 post, my first attempt at growing sprouts failed.

This time; I got a bit luckier. I started growing the sprouts just under a week ago; Monday night (it is now Sunday night).

I started off by removing the sprouts onto a paper towel. 

Then I put them into a sifter and rinsed them in the sink.

The last step was to towel dry them.

I decided to try some; they were quite spicy. I actually called my mom in to the kitchen and asked her to eat one, her reaction was, "wow that's got a kick...now what are you going to do with them?" That was a good question seeing as I already had dinner and I personally don't think that black beans really go with sprouts. I did some really fast research in my mom's handy-dandy vegetarian cookbook/guide and decided to keep them in the fridge in a plastic baggie. 


The experience wasn't that strange; almost every year in elementary school we'd have to put a bean in a plastic baggie with a wet paper towel and see watch what happened over a span of a week or so. That was the extent of my elementary plant-growing life, but it kind of felt the same as this experience. Instead of being excited that " I was making my own food" I was more focused on getting some sort of product so I could do the homework and be done. I think if I grew sprouts out of free will rather than as an assignment I would be more into it.
