Today we celebrated International Food Day at the school.  It's where every family makes a dish or two from their home country and has a stand at the school.  We couldn't believe how many countries were represented.  Everywhere from Angola to Ecuador to Mexico to Ukraine to Scotland to Nigeria to Denmark to Czech Republic to Italy....there were so many more countries represented and every country had their own table.  There was such a wonderful spirit of community and camaraderie.

We were the only Australians present.  We made Anzac biscuits and fairy bread, which young kids loved. 

Anzac biscuits - regular and gluten free & fairy bread

The food was amazing!  Everyone went to so much effort, with the Palestianians having their falafel making machine and deep fryer there. Fabulous....
