30 Days of Thanksgiving: November 22--The Cafetin

Every day, Monday thru Friday, Andrew, Henry and Mae come here for a fabulous lunch.  This is "The Cafetin," NCA's cafeteria.  It is nothing like the school cafeterias they have experienced in the States--a hard working crew of wonderful women spend their days cooking homemade food from real ingredients.  The majority of the food they eat (besides Monday pizza days!) is Nicaraguan, and usually includes chicken, beef, or even fish (which our kids surprisingly LOVE) with a side of rice, plantains in a variety of forms, and salad.  These healthy and filling meals are provided for less than $2.00 a person. It has been a blessing to know that our kids are eating well without the hassle of having to prepare lunches in a country that doesn't have Lunchables, and for Andrew to have a way to fulfill his craving for trying as many new foods as possible.
