Yesterday, we made an Egyptian/middle eastern meal. We had baked chicken with olive oil and rosemary, flatbread, hummus, and tabouli salad made with this, which I just found at Walmart. Note that if you decide to use the mix, you'll need to have lemon juice and fresh tomatoes on hand and the salad requires chilling time.
And later, Thomas and Abby and I read The Butter Man, which is a very interesting book about a Moroccan family and a famine in their village. There's some good geographical info in the back of the book, too.
This afternoon, Emily has been working on a new project for me: weekly calendars which I can post on the fridge with menus and plans for the week for everyone to see. Hopefully, we'll all be on the same page now!
We're also trying to simplify evenings by corralling supper time into just an hour instead of everyone eating nonstop for several hours.
Seeking Simplicity........and hoping to find it!

I haven't seen this book before but I'm going to check it out! I have been looking for books about Africa to use with the kids this year!
Thanks for sharing!
