So, I’ve seen a few things advertised that are selling a similar idea to our international days.<\/p>\n
Would I like to turn this idea into something marketable some day? Sure! But, we’re not that now.<\/p>\n
I also see a lot of blogs where everything is perfect and orderly, photos look very professional, and not a thing is out of place. Yeah… we’re not that, either.<\/p>\n
Well – maybe to do something like this, we have to be rich and buy a lot of weird ingredients! Nope. While some of the ingredients that we have used in recipes have been a bit difficult to find, nothing has been stupid expensive. Here’s one option, substitute ingredients. It may not be “authentic” or “rustic” or “perfect”, but it will be “good enough”.<\/p>\n
If we just take a bit of time to learn about someone else’s culture or food, perhaps we’ll be less willing to accept propaganda designed to dehumanize.<\/p>\n
It doesn’t take loads of resources to do this – you’re already using a web browser.<\/p>\n
It doesn’t have to be perfect. We’re doing this with and for kids.<\/p>\n
I guess where this random collection of sentences is leading is to this; it doesn’t have to cost a lot of money, it doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be sincere and as accurate as you can make it.<\/p>\n
I have heard rumors that some other families want to do something like this, or maybe already have. I’d love to hear some stories.<\/p>\n
