My son has become good friends with a kid from his school who is Ethiopian. He has come over to our house to work out with my son (lift weights, bike, eliptical, speed and weight bag, etc.) in the basement after school.
However, his mom always picks him up before dinner. I was home - and awake- the last time, and asked why he never stays for dinner. He just says that his mom was already here to collect him, and that he has to go.
Shyly, this giant kid - a 6' 5", 320 lbs lineman told me that he is Tewahedo Christian, and that they don't eat pork.
Lol, apparently I smell like bacon.
Oh, or worse, chitlins, or tripe.
I told him to tell his mother of my mother's Norwegian tradition that everyone is always welcome to share at mealtimes. (My mother's family is from way north and sparsley populated area in Norway: on the outer islands west of Harstad. People there can go for long times without seeing anyone else, especially in winter, so everyone was always welcome to come together.)
Well, he's coming over tomorrow for dinner. I hope his mom comes early as invited.
So here's the thing: what should I make?
What would you make?
I have 1 day to purchase the ingredients, and the necmxt to cook.
My wife asked me to make my chicken, grape, and harissa tagine, and my son said pad thai, or a stir fry?
Every time i think of something good and American that I make, half of the time a little piggie is in it. I think I understand his mom a little better now.
What would you make? Any recipe is appreciated.
