Sam got a cooking lesson today! First, he and his host mom picked fresh thyme from the garden. Sam guarded half of it while host mom chopped up the other half to put in the rice. Then, they got a bowl of soy curls... Sam thought it looked a bit like dog kibble until they soaked it in boiling water and then it looked more like chicken. Host mom sauteed it with a little oil, minced garlic, the other half of the thyme, and a chicken seasoning blend. Once it was nice and aromatic, she added some frozen veggies and a can of diced tomatoes, and cooked until everything was heated through. The soy curls were then served over the rice, with cheese on top and salad on the side.
