Hello B2.. As you know, I’ve asked you to send me a favorite recipe.
I’ve also promised to give you a few.. and as I’m a bit lazy, rather than typing them all, I’ve decided to give you a whole American menu, with links to very good recipes.Try one!
Starters (Munchies): buffalo wings with bleu (pronounced blue) cheese dip (they are good, I promise!) http://recipes.robbiehaf.com/H/76.htm
Main course:I think I’d just grill vegetables and hamburgers outside for the main dish. I’ll link you to my friend Christina’s fantastic marinade…(she calls it “brine”) if you marinate turkey breast in this and then grill it, it’s fantastic:http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/11/16/FDG71FNODJ1.DTL
Side dishes: wilted spinach with roasted garlic (I know, there’s a lot of garlic, but it’s great!!)http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Wilted-Spinach-with-Roasted-Garlic-240366
and a classic ..yum!
scalloped potatoes http://southernfood.about.com/od/scallopedpotatoes/r/bl60901b.htm
for dessert…. apple pie is a classic, but I prefer apple crisp (easy and delicious..serve with whipped cream and ONLY use Granny Smith apples)

and if you are truly sinful, new york cheesecake.. but that’s harder to make!
