My calling at church is 1st counselor in the Young Women's program, Emily get to meet with the 14 and 15 year olds every Sunday and Wednesday. Last Night the girls planned a food around the world activity, each of us picked a country and brought a food dish from that country. We gave a brief report about the church in that particular country. We had a fun, educational evening and the food was really good. I called my brother Darin who had served a 2 year mission in Dominican Republic and asked him for any suggestions. He had several good ideas, but Emily went with the easiest one(that didn't involve goat meat), fried plantains. Fried plantains are the Dominicans version of our french fries, dipped in ketchup and everything. They were surprisingly delicious and easy. Gemma gave us a detailed report on Norway, and made Norwegian Lefse, they were good too, it was kind of like a tortilla or crepe. Kelsey made a pasta salad from Italy, which I had to get the recipe for, it was divine! For dessert, Amber treated Emily and Kelsy to German chocolate cake, of course her Country was Germany. I really enjoyed researching Dominican Republic and hearing all about the other countries, it went so well, that I thought when we come home for Christmas we could do this as a family, are you in?
