Our Relief Society enrichment activity this month was an International pot-luck in honor of the 2008 Summer Olympics.\u00a0 We each brought a foreign dish to share as well as the recipe to share; the recipes will be compiled into a cookbook so all the sisters in the ward can have a copy.\u00a0 There were lots of delicious things to eat!\u00a0 I made Hungarian Ham Stack, and it was a real hit.\u00a0 Everyone was amazed at all the layers, and they were even more impressed to learn that my husband made the palacsintas (crepes – sort of) for me to layer with the ham sauce to make the dish!\u00a0 The recipe is on the ‘Try-Me Night” page if you want to see it.<\/p>\n

We played some games as well: for one, we each guessed how many countries were participating in the olympics this year.\u00a0 I guessed 184, but it was actually over 200 hundred, and someone else guessed almost exactly right.\u00a0 For another game, Irene Sanchez had color-copied sheets with pictures of various national flags<\/a>.\u00a0 We teamed up to see which pair of sisters could lable all of the flags (accurately) first.\u00a0 And guess what – Karrie Harrison & I won!\u00a0 There were flags from Canada, China, Egypt, Germany, Greece, Italy, Iraq, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and more.\u00a0 It was very exciting!<\/p>\n

So, here’s an international flag trivia question for our readers:\u00a0 Which is the only national flag that is neither square nor rectangular???<\/p>\n
