Part of the fun of homeschooling is the ability to spend extra time pursuing the specific topics that interest the kids. In our first book we read for social studies, Naomi was most intrigued by the section about the different kinds of food people around the world eat. So we planned a day of trying out new foods we've never had from different continents!
Breakfast in east Africa - mandazi (there's a donut in every culture, I think!)
Lunch in central and South America - fried plantains and empanadas
Dinner in northern Thailand - Kao Soi Kai, a dish that is popular in the region where our Compassion-assisted friend lives
We found a book at the library called
What the World Eats. It shows 25 different families from all around the world with a week's worth of groceries laid out in their kitchen. Fascinating and sobering. We are so grateful for what God has provided for us!
