Just a quick post here, a full one will be posted later today (with the previous trivia questioned answered).
1) I'm taking suggestions (actually requesting help) on what typically American meal we should prepare for a few of the Moldovans. Restriction: It can't be something like hamburgers that includes both bread and meat - due to the peculiarities of a couple of people involved. Bobbie, you might let me know if there are any meals you already prepared for them when you were here.
2) What cartoon character did the clothes on my chair look like when I woke up this morning?
All for now. Gotta run.

TEXAS BBQ...whoot!!!
Or some microwaveable meal...that's VERY American.
I'm going to be at Anthony and Maria's for Turkey Day.

First of all, to your previous trivia question, I go back and forth between 1 and 4, but I am surprised there isn't a "oops, I forgot my wallet" option in there somewhere. haha. I think I will go with #4.
2nd, the pilot makes a good suggestion with the bbq. Although, fried chicken and maybe some mashed potatoes or mac and cheese seem not only American but also very southern (to represent where you live).
Keep up the great work!!!!
oh thanks, stapleman, like i've got a microwave or a smoker over here. Glad to know I'll see you Tony and Maria's. And to Kelli, yeah, that would have made a good decoy answer if my wallet had been necessary. :)
Fried chicken is what I would vote for--or homemade macaroni&cheese, or pot roast, or soup&salad,...
You know that you can make "fake" BBQ in the oven or on the stovetop, right? No smoker needed. Just broil/pan roast the meat (make sure to keep it moist) and then shred it up and cover it with some marinade. You can probably even make your own marinades if they don't have that kind of thing in the stores there.
How about some grits? Or Hot dogs and apple pie. (That's what the folks at Chevrolet used to think.) Seriously, it's really hard to define a truly american dish these days with the many Chinese and Mexican restaurants available. How about Hot dogs and apple pie?
Hi Darryl,
Bertina here..Hope this works..Have been reading on and off. Today I caught up on most of it. I love hearing about all of it and would love to perhaps be in such an area sometime in the future. I remember one time Mike asked me to do fried chicken for some folks coming to our flat for a study. I have never been good at fried chicken (hopefully I've improved a little), but it turned out almost as tough as your lamb! But what about fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy? Or a thanksgiving type meal? Tell Nathan hello! I'm so thrilled with the opportunities you are both having. Praying for good ground there among those you meet and teach.
Sorry, I recall it was veal. Hope you guys are staying warm. Great idea about the lady doing things with those kids. I just heard about a lady in Alaska who spends time with kids and they are learning about God! Seed is being planted. Thanks for the blogs!
Thanks for all the food suggestions! The lack of an oven is somewhat limiting, and my lack of cooking experience is equally limiting. Fried chicken and mashed potatoes - and apple pie - sound exactly right. Except the one time I tried frying chicken it was a disaster, and it would take quite a bit of practice to get pie crust done well. Pot roast also a very good idea...and i can do a great one at home in a crock pot (please discount the one at the WR potluck last year!)...not too sure about me and a stovetop pot roast though, seeing as I'll be representing America! I'm leaning toward chili (it's cool weather here). Will let you know when I decide. For the time being Nathan requests anyone with a rice pudding recipe to send it to us. Thx!
