A FAMILY’S FOOD FOR A WEEK : AROUND THE WORLD

December 1, 2007

      I received these pictures in an e-mail. Maybe you got the same one. I was fascinated. I still am. I keep opening the e-mail and looking at these photos. I’m putting them here to begin the celebration of gratitude and sharing that the next 3 weeks will bring to us.

      Look at the pictures with your kids. Count the number of people in each picture. Talk about the food.
