This weekend we had a BBQ for the mid-session party and I asked that everyone bring a dish from their home country. Now I must admit I struggled a bit because most American dishes are what you find abroad... with the exception of our casseroles and Apple Pie (which I'm pretty sure we hijacked from someone else). So I went back to the good old things that I 1)know how to make, and 2) thought would go well.
In the end I made guacamole and my Mom's Mexican casserole, then added a twist with snickerdoodles. Now I didn't know this was so much of an American thing, but then again you learn something new every day. Of course to the American's they were obvious and a reminder of home, but everyone else was pleasantly surprised and the cookies were a hit. Now I just need to find out how to make a certain desert one of the other girls made which was a combination of a meringue and tart - it was to die for!!
