Taste Test Thursday

Our Triple T didn't happen on Tuesday this week because we had testing to do instead, so we postponed things until Thursday.  I had a mom who had just returned from Singapore, and she brought things for the class to taste.  She had tried to bring something like pork jerky, but it was confiscated at the airport.  So we ended up with....

Mangosteen is a type of fruit.  The left corner of the package shows the purple fruit.  You twist the green stem part off, and then you see the mango colored flesh with the white flower like thing inside.  Very interesting.  They tasted just like good butter cookies to me.  They were in the shape on the merlion.  I think he lives in the sea, just outside the harbor.

Not sure why this one is turned, but I'm too lazy to fix it.  These were something like veggie sticks, made from purple potatoes.  They were a hit too.

The mom also brought in little pieces of expensive and smooth chocolate.  She brought me two pieces.  The kids had pieces cut in fourths.  It was too good to waste on children.

We projected all her pictures from her i-phone onto our screen and learned a lot about Singapore.  It was a big success!
