SOTW V2 Ch 8-12

On to China where we tried to eat with chopsticks... needs more practice for sure. And then to Japan where Mac helped me make fried rice (always a favorite in our house) and Osumashi (not so much a favorite except for the fact that we drank it from bowls).

Through Australia and France and back to the Muslims- this time in Spain. We had a Moorish feast (next time we will have to go all out feasting on pillows on the floor) but the Arroz con Pollo was good.

SOTW V2 Ch 7

Interesting to study Islam becoming an empire with how much of an impact it has made on history. We of course had to make the Ali Baba "Open Sesame" biscuits and read the story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves to go along with it. They were pretty good I might add.


Mac also made a snake, known in the desert regions we studied.
