Lidl, a discount supermarket chain, had the funnies display of "American Products" this week. Some of the items they offered were only "American" because they came in red, white, and blue packaging. Others, though, appeared to be the real deal. I happily stocked up on peanut butter and pecans. (This was my first pecan siting since setting foot on the continent.)
For the first time in weeks I don't have any trips planned this weekend. Instead Kevin and I are staying home and having people in for dinner. It's been a long time since I cooked for company. And now with my American stash I feel I am now having trouble deciding what kind of pie to make dessert. Also, I found funny napkins with American flags and the New York skyline.
About Me
- Erin
- Ridgewood, NJ, United States
- In the fall of 2007 my husband and I moved to Germany. After more than a year of traveling, eating, and living abroad, we were transferred back to the states. At the time of our return, I was 34 weeks pregnant. This is a true account of our re-assimilation, reverse culture shock, and impending adventure into parenthood.
A Southern Something
I don't think there are quite enough sausages in the South to maintain the "Wurst of the Week." Instead, I am replacing this sidebar feature with "A Southern Something." To start, I'd like to introduce you to chow chow. A pickled relish, chow chow can be made from any number of vegetables, including cabbage, onions, or green tomatoes.
