I Will Never Eat Again
For your information: every country has some variation on the theme of chicken and rice. It all tastes fabulous, and it all tastes different.
There was an international potluck at my workplace today. Kabsah, the Saudi national dish, contains cardamom and goes really well with Arabic coffee, which also contains cardamom. Polish food is fabulous. Many countries make potato salad. Chileans can do anything with walnuts. My Haitian former student made three dishes. One of the students also provided a recipe so EVERYONE can make Brazilian candy. I did not eat myself sick, but I ate plenty, for sure.
In other news, my Persian student is so adorable that I would almost marry him, except he is a man and I'm already married. Yesterday, he told me how beautiful my wedding ring is. Today, he pretended he'd spoken Farsi in class (he is the only Farsi speaker in class) so that he could put money in the bottle. I make students pay 25 cents for every non-English word they speak and collect it in a bottle. The proceeds go to the Capital Area Food Bank. He emptied his pockets because he is completely awesome.
