Students and my cooking

This is just a short post. first our new student arrived. very nice and excited about his time at GIA, then our second student arrived from Korea (only with us a few weeks until she finds an apartment) also very nice.

My husband is a great cook and I get by. We had planned to have him make the first few dinners so as not to scare them away. Unfortunately, he has two dental appointments and a family meeting this week. So it's my cooking.
I mangled pasta last night... even I have to admit it was bad, tonight I am making meatloaf.. this I can do..
tomorrow a cooked chicken compliments of Costco..

Many of the Asian countries appreciate the art of the food. Only these students go to fine restaurants and take pictures of the plates and presentations...

Family dinners in the USA can be a bit of a shock. In general, we value the company at the dinner table much more then what is put on the table.. Unless we are going out.. our goal is to put something on the table.. not looking at it as an event.

So for now... we will muddle through the first few meals.. and find a happy compromise between high end cuisine and the normal meals of American life...
Bon Appetit!
