This summer, the kiddos and I have decided to travel Germany and Europe alongside Uncle Michael. Over the next 11 weeks, as Uncle Michael visits a new country in the EU, so will we. We will read books and try their food. We will listen to videos of how they speak and see how they dress. We will learn about the landscape and agriculture. We will read about their history. Every Monday, we will enter a new country and on Friday, we will depart after a family dinner eating native foods and sharing our favorite facts. Uncle Michael will also be helping us out by sending pictures and passing on neat information that he finds...
This week, we are beginning with
Germany. We have borrowed books galore from the library and have already read through most of them. Last night, we read about their food and learned that hot dogs (
frankfurters) originated in
Frankfurt, Germany. We also learned that with every meal, there is a bread and potato dish. They also eat a lot of raw cabbage!
On the menu this week is Hot Dogs on Buns, mashed potatoes, and a raw cabbage salad. We are not really stepping out of our comfort zone this week, but it is also our off week for grocery shopping, so we must use what we have!
I look forward to learning more this week and finding out where next week's adventure will be!
