This month at school Roo has been learning about his ancestral land (mostly) of Scandinavia. September has been filled with conversation about fjords, vikings, and beet salad. Today the children demonstrated their Nordic culinary and hospitality skills by hosting their parents at the Viking Cafe in their classroom. A suprise performance in their long boat preceded the feast. Unfortunately Roo had an intruding horn in front of his face for most of the performance.
The children in their long boat with horned hats, shields and oars.
Each child decorated an old t-shirt and then using a real sewing machine, attached their t-shirt half to one anothers to create a sail for their long boat.

Roo and Lucy, our tables serving staff. 
The food: bread, cheese, grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers, beet salad, meat balls, boiled potatoes and for dessert, sweetened rice cooked in milk. I told Ryan it reminded me of family reunion food in Hanska, MN.
