I helped cook today =]
We made: rice, potatoes, carrot salad, cucumber salad, soup, chicken, stuffing, pork, and I think wild pig. Guess how many people we fed. Yupp, that's right. 4. Mhm. Only 4. (There's a bunch of leftovers.)
I made the carrot salad. Recipe: Take like 6 or so carrots. Peel. Use a cheese grater to grate the carrots. Add juice from one lemon. (About 2 Tbs?) Add enough brown sugar till it tastes right. Stir. It's really good, you should all try and make it now =]
I also was helping cut stuff, like the carrots and potatoes. And I tried to help cut the liver...but that didn't happen. The liver then went in the stuffing. I tried it, but I found out that I don't like liver.
So I tried a bit (or, ya know, a lot) of pretty much all of it...And all of it was good, except for the liver-stuffing. So I am now a stuffed chicken myself. This is why exchanges gain weight...we don't eat as unhealthy as I did in America, but I sure eat a lot more, because it's all so good! Thank you, Andrea, for letting me help out today =]
Kathleen-great posts. I enjoy reading them and you are so discriptive. Great job and enjoy.

thanks =]
ReplyDeleteI love brown sugar, never thought to add it to carrots, I'll have to try that.
ReplyDeletedont forget the lemon juice too =]
ReplyDeleteI suspect I would have loved the liver stuffing and maybe not been so crazy for the carrot salad - sorry about that. For someone who likes carrots though, I'm sure it was Fabu.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to know that you're at least trying all of the culturally different foods though! Some will be teriff, and some will smell and taste like old shoes - but at least you'll be able to say you've tried it!
