Place of the Month

 We started this in March, with Ireland.  My co-worker Liz had the idea: celebrate and learn about a different country every month.  This month (April) is Chile, but it's so interesting, we're extending into May until I can finish my library books (I Lived on Butterfly Hill, and Travels in a Thin Country.)

                                               
 Empanadas and Chilean wine.  (the purple is actually grape juice.)  We fill empanadas with vegan fillings, including chimmichurri (parsley, cilantro sauce), quinoa, peppers, and beans.

It's always good to color your Sprite the colors of country-month flag.  Blue & red for Chile.  Green for Ireland!  
For the next place, we'll draw from a can (pieces of paper with places we're interested in.)  Country month involves a lot of library books.  I'm enjoying Chilean guitar music, and my I Lived on Butterfly Hill novel is the best.
