Never mind an Englishman in New York, try an entire family for size. Having gathered our belongings together my wife and I, along with our motley collection of kids, all headed off to the US to create a new life. With new opportunities, new experiences and many expectations, we bid farewell to Old Blighty and departed for the New Land. Of course, the dream is one thing- reality is quite something else, and it has been a learning curve.
But moving to another country can represent a number of problems, or what I like to refer to as challenges. For example, something my wife and I wanted to try to achieve was to fit in to the local community. There's no point heading to a new country for a brand new life if you're going to drag all your traditions, habits and customs with you. We wanted to try to adopt the US way of life as much as possible, right down to the food. As keen amateur cooks my wife and I were particularly interested in this opportunity.
We've always had an interest in food and cooking, and we seem to have passed this on to our kids who have a healthy appetite, and a broad range of tastes. They were as interested as us in trying the local food and traditional US recipes. The only trouble was that none of us really knew much about US cooking, except that it was almost certainly more varied than burgers and fries!
So we spent quite a while trying to identify just what makes a traditional US recipe. We were looking for recipes that were very much part of America, taking in its history and culture as well as local foods and popular dishes. We had started making a lot of friends, and wanted to be able to offer them local recipes and typical US meals, not so much to make them feel at home, but to help them feel that we were trying to feel at home ourselves.
Another reason we were keen to find some good recipes was that the weather was somewhat chilly. With the winter looming we wanted to find some warming recipes we could enjoy, and which would keep us going. Our main port of call was the internet, where we came across a fantastic Navy Bean Soup recipe, very traditional. On the same website we found a Ham Navy Bean Soup recipe as well, and so we downloaded them and tried them out.
The Navy Bean Soup recipe was the first of our experiments and very successful it was too. It was a delicious recipe enjoyed by the whole family (even the dog seemed to welcome this aspect of the move!) and we soon tried the Ham Navy Bean Soup recipe, with equal success. Buoyed up by our success, and with an awareness that two recipes doth not a cook make, we headed back online to find some more traditional American recipes.
The website from where I downloaded the Navy Bean Soup Recipe had a number of others available, two hundred other recipes to be precise. I figured that two hundred traditional US recipes would probably be about enough to see my family through the winter! They sounded just as appetizing as the Ham Navy Bean Soup recipe, and when I saw the price I was astonished, 200 recipes for just $10!
Being able to pick up two hundred traditional recipes for just $10 was too good to be true - and I immediately acquired the full pack. In all honesty I couldn't even take my kids to the pizza parlour for $10 - so to have a whole heap of successful recipes was a bargain. I know my children are definitely impressed with the food, and my wife and I have discovered a great way to make a lot of new friends too! - 30241
