On one of Jackson's school days, Kathleen took us to make salt. Okinawan salt is sought after around the world to cook with. I just couldn't pass up the once in a lifetime opportunity to MAKE my own Okinawan salt! We went to the Gala resort for our adventure. It was so much fun. Gavin didn't get to participate, but he was a great sport. The process is in the pictures below. Did I mention how good the salt was! I may have to buy more.

Cooking, cooking, cooking.
The key is to stir slowly and consistently |
