It's become a family tradition to participate in Catholic Relief Service's Operation Rice Bowl. CRS provides a calendar we can use during Lent with suggested offerings and sacrifices.One of the more talked about aspects of Operation Rice Bowl in this household is the suggested menus for each Friday. They are meatless dishes from different countries around the world and some are quite unusual. You can find them on the calendar. Our children still talk about a certain dish we tried years ago from one of the African countries (I think) that had peas and bananas as the primary ingredients!
The ORB site has some other items like a World Awareness Quiz that might prove educational. Check it out.
