Ancient African Feast

This week Ruth was studying Ancient Africa in her History class, and her project for today was to prepare an ancient african feast. She did a great job of getting everything ready and was able to really impress her grandparents upon their arrival. Plus, everything was really yummy. (Even Max enjoyed it)! Here are the menu and a few pics:

Menu:
Chicken With Figs
Papaya Stir-Fried Rice
Fried Plantains
Date and Banana Bars (we substituted raisins for the dates)
Date Chewies (we substituted prunes for the dates)

  1. You are amazing, Mandi and Ruth! I can't even keep the house clean with D off at school and only 1 baby in the house - much less study and prepare an ancient African meal.

  2. Actually, Jeff helped Ruth prepare the feast. He is in chare of all things cooking. I earn my keep by washing the dishes! :)
