More sharing of American culture

[angledge]

My Norwegian friend Kristin has taken her next step into American culture: eating peanut butter & jelly sandwiches. The first time Kristin saw me making one, she said (as diplomatically as possible): "That doesn't look very nice." But after a few weeks of persuasion




And guess what? Agreeing with millions of elementary school-age kids, Kristin decides PB&Js are tasty!


So ... we've had a jack-o-lantern carving lesson, & we've taken Kristin to watch American football. I was thinking that next we should bake an apple pie, but that's kind of hard. Suggestions for further lessons in Americana? And you, fizrep and chaosvizier: keep them G-rated.

I make my grilled cheese sandwiches with Kraft slices & tomato. The best appliance for making these is either a toastie maker (a British cooking device I've yet to find at home) or one of the really old-fashioned waffle makers where you could turn the cooking plates around to get a flat surface. Butter the outsides of the slices of bread, two Kraft slices per sanwich, & as much tomato as could be crammed in there. Dee-yummy-licious.

You know, you can make grilled PB&J sandwiches. People tell me they're very good. However you have to be very careful when eating them because hot jelly is just like napalm.
