Last night I hosted a class dinner at my place and we had about 15 people there. Each represented country was supposed to prepare a typical dish from their country or something they eat a lot at home. This may be news to many of you, but I'm not a master chef. I thought about making pigs-in-a-blanket, but since the grocery stores here have been closed 4 of the past 5 days for Easter I wasn't able to find the ingredients for that. So yesterday afternoon I went to the only open grocery store within walking distance to find something else. By the time I got there they had been wiped out of many things, which left me in a quandary. I persevered and decided to make Mac and Cheese, which I must say turned out pretty good. A mix of white and yellow cheddar gave it nice taste, and I shredded that cheese myself thank you very much. Mac and Cheese is incredibly American and I was surprised to hear that several people in my class had never actually had it, which made my choice even better. Everybody prepared tasty stuff and we all had a good time. The Mac and Cheese was completely wiped out so I was happy. I think we plan to do something like this again soon, so I'll be able to exercise my improving cooking skills. Vi ses!

Glad the mac and cheese was a hit, good thinking.
Great idea getting everyone together to share foods from their countries.
You'll have to make mac and cheese for us when you come home.
