Green Revolution

I spent my entire summer thinking green and found myself drawn to the color green, especially during our stay at a lake side cabin in New York. Coincidentally, green turned out to become the color of a vibrant and energetic carnival style election campaign in Iran. I was wrapping up the school year; suddenly the massive post election protests broke out and amidst gatherings, vacationing, and the warm sunny pool days, I found myself protesting for a good cause.

We all wore green to show solidarity with the people of Iran. However, the best part was my green feast. I made a giant spinach and artichoke dip, green herbs frittatas, and green fizzy drinks. My green revolution took place in the kitchen after dinner one night when I served stacked up scoops of vanilla ice cream, dark and milk chocolate chunks, mint ice cream, whipped cream, pistachios, and served them in cones with cherries and wafer rolls.

Seriously, the news that came from Iran was the worst this summer. Now, the summer days are ending and I'd still say, splash green paint around and go green, punks!
