The week prior to leaving for Texas I hosted a lunch and cookie exchange for the women in my international cooking club. Normally, the person hosting would prepare a meal from her country while the others observe and assist. After 3-4 hours of preparations we all partake in a scrumptious meal.
So, how does one from the United States decide on the food of her country? It's not as cut and dried as those from other countries. When I suggested we do a cookie exchange the women were intrigued. After decorating and baking sugar cookies and dipping oreos topped with caramel in chocolate, we sat down to a lunch of meat and non-meat (for the vegetarians) chili followed by traditional American pumpkin pie. A good time was had by all.
Countries represented are Portugal, Syria, Germany, Lebanon, Japan, Honduras, and U.S
