Kentucky Dinner

I watched a movie where parents did a fun safari dinner in their living room and was inspired to pick one night a week where we do a themed dinner...Emma can help me prepare since she wants to cook and we'll learn about other cultures and places around the world in the process. Since she just completed a report on Kentucky, it was decided that our first attempt would be a "Kentucky Dinner". To a backdrop of bluegrass music, we ate a fried chicken dinner and Emma read us facts about the state. Did you know that Abraham Lincoln was born there and you can still see the log cabin where he was raised? It was really fun and she has requested that we do a Wyoming dinner next (her class is studying the 50 states right now so I think we'll be staying in the U.S. for awhile). Why Kentucky and Wyoming? Because they are big horse states of course!
