Time for School!

In the Solomon Islands, schools will be beginning a new school year on Monday.  Most of the SITAG national staff have children who attend school, so we gathered this afternoon to pray for each of the students, their schools, teachers, and families.

 
SITAG also presented the students with some school supplies.  For the students that don't live close by, the parents stood in to represent their child.  We're really thankful for each of these families!
 


 
The house smelled good when we returned from the gathering because I left lemon honey chicken cooking in the crockpot.  We found the recipe in "Sonlight Cooks" (have I mentioned how much I LOVE our curriculum?!?).  Since whole chickens aren't cheap here (between US $11-12), it's a special Friday night treat to share chicken with friends who are coming over for supper.  I loved reading all of the comments last weekend about everybody's weekend activities, and I'm looking forward to whatever this weekend brings!
 
Lemon Honey Chicken
1 lemon
1 whole roasting chicken, rinsed
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup honey
 
Pierce lemon with fork.  Place in chicken cavity.  Place chicken in slow cooker.  Combine orange juice and honey.  Pour over chicken.  Cover.  Cook on low 8 hours.  Remove lemon, and squeeze over chicken.  Carve chicken and serve
