Cultural Cusine


Keely's grade had a big taste of the continents party where each kid was given 2 continents to choose from and then bring food to share that's native to that continent. Keely's choice was between Africa or Asia and I was relieved when she chose Asia cause not that in tune with what foods are native to Africa...anyway, we made Chinese fried rice together (I think because she had heard of China so felt it couldn't be all that weird) We had so much fun cooking it that she couldn't stop talking about it for 3 days :)

Asher did not have a good time at the party...crying and sulking (even though there was a huge gym and balls everywhere for the little kids to play with) until a life saver mom came over with "snow" from Antarctica...he ate one after another for the next 2 hours in this corner and was happy.

What a cute idea! I may steal that for playgroup too. I love your fried rice idea and the "snow" from Antarctica is hilarious! What continent was the jello supposed to be from?
