A Busy Two Days For Greta

It's been a busy couple days for Greta. And for her poor parents that have sat and watched her and cheered her on with shaky hands and a sigh of relief when it's been all over. 
Friday, Greta's Battle of The Books team sealed a spot in the championship for the second year in a row. Now we wait for them to compete in March. Both years they have been undefeated up to the championship, not that there hasn't been some close, nail biter battles. I am very happy for her and her team. 
Then today, she had a 4-H cooking competition. This time she had 25 minutes to prepare an after school snack. She had to present, lay a place setting with centerpiece, be questioned by judges and then clean up. She made her kalamata olive hummus dip which is quite addictive to all that tries it. She's always loved kalamata olives. 
 Here she is setting up her table. Instead of flowers this time, she chose to use collected shells as her centerpiece. 
 adding olive oil to the food processor. 
 making her carrots and pita chips look lovely.. 
 finishing up
 being questioned by the judge... I have to stand really far away so very glad I have a zoom lens. 

 The judge told her she got an A+ and she was presented another blue ribbon which she is very proud of. She now refers to her hummus as "blue ribbon hummus" 
One more pic for the scrapbook.
