To All Americans, My Apologies


We had a party today in language class. I'm not sure why we had a party, but who's asking? We all made some national foods and brought them to class. It was pretty cool, because of all the different countries represented: China, Russia, France, Italy, Austria, etc.

There were Chinese egg/cheese things, French tuna casserole, Krgyzstan salad, Austrian cake, French cake, and Russian fish eggs wrapped in a tortilla thing.

My contribution? Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Yeah, I kind of dropped the ball for us Americans. Sorry about that, but if it's any consolation, the peanut butter actually came from America. It was some JIF brought over by some friends. PB here is a little different, but not that different.

I was going to make some sausage gravy and biscuits, a tasty treat in any country, but then I realized I can't buy any pork here. Then I realized I would have to make the biscuits from scratch. Then I realized my cooking skills and/or time did not allow for chicken or beef gravy with made-from-scratch biscuits...

To all Americans, my apologies.

That's great, I wish I could get peanut butter here. I've been talking to dad for you. Keep up the good work!
