We were invited to the celebration of citizenship on Saturday. A couple from France, with whom we are friends, have just become U.S. citizens, and threw a big party to celebrate.
Asked the hostess (also a friend of ours) to tell everyone that nobody needs, but each must bring your favorite recipe in the U.S. map 3 x 5. Become citizens, but remember that in France and food remains high
Many recipes are of different origin, we had to think of a recipe that was definitely an American. It took a little thought, because apart from being an American recipe, but needed to be an important requirement, because our friends really understand food
We decided to share a special recipe:
