Potlucks are American. My students, especially the Koreans, are unfamiliar with the tradition of sharing casseroles and gelatin salads. At our family reunion on Sunday, I snapped a couple of photos to share with my students.
these photos are gonna make your students hungry. I always enjoyed the conversations with my Korean students about differences in our eating practices.
The reunion was for my dad's mom's side of the family. There were ten children--of the siblings only my great-aunt is still alive (she will turn 90 in January). So most of the people at the reunion are cousins of some sort.
An older couple in my old church (located near a major university) decided to start a free international student club at the church. The students, mostly Asian, would come and the church would put bring foods. They loved when our children would stay and talk to them about things they liked. Even the most common foods were interesting combos to them.
I don't believe I've met many of those family members pictured. Where have ya'll been hiding them?:-)
