An Australian Experience

G'day Mates!!

Liv teaches the Little's geography/cooking on Friday and Saturday.
They study the "Place" and then they all have to make a meal from that country.

Last week was Australia, as you can see.

Mary was in charge of decorating and setting the table Aussie Style.
(Actually we were going to eat outside, but the wind was blowing all the decs away.)

Matt and James made
Kiwi Tart for dessert.

Thomas made Fruit and Vege Salad.

Mary adding the finishing spices on the Roasted Vegetables.

The cooks

Jon Making and testing the "Tart" part of the Kiwi Tart.


Having a ripper chinwag.
(Translation: Having a terrific conversation.)
