Caribbean Block

This is the final week of Sean's study of the Caribbean countries. As part of our geography studies, we always include the music and foods of the region we are studying. Sean enjoys cooking, so he prepared a Caribbean meal, beverage, and dessert for us.

He chose the menu selections himself, created the shopping list, and did the shopping and all the cooking himself. All recipes are from Food.com. Oh, and he told me he is aware these recipes are "Americanized".

The menu consisted of:
Caribbean Jerk Chicken Wings

2 cups barbecue sauce
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 6-ounce can crushed pineapples
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
jerk seasoning, to taste
18 chicken wings
Prepare the sauce by combining all the ingredients except wings and jerk seasoning. Heat in saucepan over medium heat.
Rub jerk seasoning into the chicken wings. Grill for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through
Brush generously with sauce and enjoy!

Beverage - 
2 ounces pineapple juice
4 ounces orange juice
2 ounces cream of coconut
nutmeg
2 ounces dark rum (for adults!)

Pineapple Pie from Barbados
1 14 1/2-ounce can pineapple chunks
unflavored gelatin
8-ounces cream cheese
graham cracker crust

Not bad for an eleven-year old! Um, have I mentioned how much I love homeshooling?!
