Superbowl earns spot over soccer!

American football has taken precedence over futbol (soccer) programming in Peru! Tonight we are watching the Superbowl with a group of boys from the orphanage. Tony is busy explaining the rules and hoping that after watching this, their next match of football will go better than the one on Thanksgiving! We just cleared up the fact that the New England Patriots are Americans, not English as their name would suggest to those unfamiliar with the US. We had a table full of snacks set out, and after 5 minutes every bowl is empty and all the drinks are gone. Teenage boys are hard to keep up with!

I usually try to make a different American snack to serve when the kids come over - they love trying our favorite things. Today I made my first attempt at Rice Krispy Treats. The only kind of cereal that was close was strawberry flavored Angel Krispies, but with a packet of My Sweet Marshmellows, they turned out pretty well. We don't have any chips and salsa or other classic Superbowl snacks, but we're loving the hot pink Angel Krispy Treats!
