Wednesday (part 1)

MomT got the last of her cleanse goodies today. DadD and the fairies hung at the casa. Fairy1 prepared for her Skype with her class today. She was going to prepare a typical Costa Rican meal and she researched some history on the "Casado or Plato Tipico". The menu was set and the food was prepped for the cooking show.

Fairy1 did a great job describing the various ingredients and the significance of the components of the meal. During some cooking down time Sofia got a lesson from Wemmy, in the NH classroom, on how to multiply with 2 digit numbers. Great job Wemmy! Amazing 4th graders and an amazing teacher who instantly inspires them. Thanks for thinking out of the box Mr F!
Just as the cooking show was resuming the power in the casa went out..hey just like being in NH! Uh oh! What do I do now mom?





Connection failed! Fairy1 likes how this picture showed all of the fingerprints. Fairy2 tries to use the MacBook like an iPad.





Oh well! The class didn't get to see the finished products from the cooking show so the host, Fairy1, took some pictures with MomT (her assistant). They also made a video.

The menu





The masterpiece...salad, black beans, rice, chayote squash, fresh tortillas (bought locally) and fried sweet plantains. This is the vegetarian version of Casado.








Meanwhile Fairy2 and DadD did some exploring on the beach...she loves to load up her backpack with supplies and explore.

Here she is trying to catch little fish with her hands. Very determined

Swing in the new palapa just built on the beach by a guy from San Diego. You rock Ben!
