I need everyone's help, please~
Anyone who can help me, please help. I will begin my miniature day care next Friday. The Monday following that, I will be going at it full-time. My idea is every week I will focus on a different letter, number and country. For example, the first week would be the letter "A", the number "1", and the country of Australia. The next week word be b, 2, and Belguim... And so on. I need help with some recipes for the country noted for that week. They should be pretty simple recipes, that I will be fixing them for lunch, as well as any recommended snacks. So, any of you who know about a certain country and can provide some recipes, please e-mail them to me (with a note as to which country is being represented). As I use the recipes, I will post them on the blog. Any simple recipes that you like that are just American recipes are great, too. I will need all that I can get as I try to provide a variety of experiences for the children. Thanks to everyone who decides to participate!!

Hmmm, I'll have to dig through my recipes... The first one I'm thinking of is colcannon (which is Irish), my kids and, well, all of us just ADORE it. But that's not for a while, and don't know if you'd like it for lunch... And there's caldo/sopa de albondigas (depending on what part of Mexico the person making it is from), but that's kinda complicated. Especially if you make home-made tortillas with it. (If you ever do want to make home-made tortillas-- great activity, btw-- Fiesta sells masa para tortillas, if they don't have it out you can just ask at their tortilleria/bakery and they will sell you a bag.) Like I said, I'll think on it and see what I can come up with. A list of what countries you want to do would be helpful. :)
In the mean time, I heartily recommend Recipezaar, my very favorite recipe site, and if you haven't seen it letteroftheweek.com, you may not use the whole curriculum but she has some really great suggestions for books, songs, etc. focusing on each letter.
Good luck!

The letter of the week curriculum is just what I am looking for. I can get a lot of use out of that. As far as countries, I am very flexible- if some sends me a recipe for Austria, I would use Austria as the letter A. It's not a big deal. I will, of course, then, have to do research on the country to teach the kids some simple facts about whichever country the food is from.
