SuperForest

Good morning, SuperForest!

It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve written a proper post, and it isn’t until you sit down and start writing that you realize how much you missed it. We’ve mentioned it in the past; whenever the number of posts seem to drop significantly, it usually means that some pretty amazing stuff is going on behind the scenes on SuperForest and these past few days were certainly no exception to this trend. We’ve also mentioned that we would try to do a better job of keeping you SuperForesters in the know when it comes to said “behind the scenes” actions and being so, we’re going to backtrack a bit and spread out some details of a few of our fabulous experiences throughout the next couple of days.

On Wednesday, SuperForester Jackson came down to San Diego for a few days to work on all things SuperForest. During the days prior, I had it all thought out; organized meetings, planned discussions…the works. But as it is often the case, none of this really happened. SuperForest tends to operate better on its own terms. And though a great deal was accomplished in what felt to be a very short period of time, SuperForest has taught me time and time again that spontaneity sparks creativity and flexibility feeds inspiration. There was much discussion on water conservation, on SuperForest projects, partnerships, aaaand…

We learned how to bake fortune cookies!

On Thursday, we spent the day with the incredible SuperForester Maureen who kindly offered to show us how to bake these treats. The ingredients are plain, the recipe is simple, and the taste is rockin’ (plus, writing your own fortunes or messages is pretty wicked, too!)

Here’s a quick vid featuring SuperForesters Maureen, Jackson, and Iman showing us how it’s done:

And you can find the detailed recipe, here.

Love!
