Friday Luncheons with Teens

BajaBlanca - 10-1-2014 at 09:01 PM

Every year I get together with the future college scholarship recipients - twice a week during their recess for English class and a quick mentoring

and every Friday as of last Friday, we shall get together and COOK!

This way they learn how since none of them has ever made food before and I also take the opportunity to teach some basics about nutrition and eating you veggies. Last week we made lasagna, carrots and a cucumber salad - everything was really delicious.










CAROLINA WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR BOILING THE CARROTS










RAMIRO SEASONED THE CUKE SALAD:








ENRIQUE AND ALEN PUT TOGETHER THE LASAGNA:









THEY ALL ATE:









JULIAN,ONE OF THE BOYS WHO WENT THRU THIS PROCESS 2 YEARS AGO AND IS NOW A COLLEGE SOPHOMORE, CAME BY AS WELL TO GIVE THEM TIPS ON HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN COLLEGE. HIS INPUT WAS INVALUABLE!








YOURS TRULY SERVED EVERYONE ICE CREAM:








AND I LET THEM DECIDE WHO WOULD DO THE DISHES AND THE BOYS DID THEM....I GOTTA TELL YA, THESE KIDS DID GREAT CONSIDERING THEY HAD NEVER TOUCHED AN ONION BEFORE, NOR DONE DISHES ........I AM EXTREMELY PROUD OF THEM:








IT WAS A SUPER AFTERNOON AND THIS FRIDAY WE WILL BE MAKING CHICKEN CURRY,SO STAY TUNED.

I NEED DRESS SHIRTS AND TIES FOR THE BOYS. THIS IS AN OFFICIAL SHOUT OUT. TWO WEAR SMALL AND ONE WEARS MEDIUM. CLOTHES CAN BE DROPPED OFF AT MOM'S IN SAN DIEGO OR EVEN BETTER, COME VISIT US AND MAKE THE DROP OFF YOURSELF. COME ON A FRIDAY AND THE KIDS WILL COOK FOR YOU!

good for you amiga...teaching kids about nutrition and cooking is really important as well as getting the muchachos to clean up after...something mexican men need to learn!!!! Now, if you could get them to eat brown rice and whole wheat stuff that would be a bonus...one day at a time or should I say one meal at a time!

We will be driving down to la paz end of october or early november and will bring some supplies for the kids.
