Ashley's First Multi-Cultural Luncheon

     Sorry that a post was lacking yesterday! I was busy working on cooking some fantabulous food for my first multi-cultural luncheon! I have to say that it was quite the feast today. The whole idea was from my American History class! My lovely teacher had us research our family tree's and then choose a culture and focus on it. I chose Piqua Shawnee a Native American tribe that I am part of. 

      Everyone did different foods for the most part, I made home-made Indian Fry Bread and a secret gravy type of sauce that goes on top of it that is godly! Now other people brought tons of things! Some people brought salsa and chips (lame!), one kid brought home made chocolate fudge with cherries inside, someone brought some cookies, potato salad, mashed potatoes, rice, cupcake cones (pretty good!), sauerkraut and bratwurst along with TONS AND TONS of other things! Talk about diversity! I had to make my food all on my own (with advice from my lovely grandmother) where as most people just had their parents make it! I say foul play no fair!

       Even though I did not try everyone's food, I only tried about 3 other plates of  food, it was pretty good looking. I was afraid of the idea at first because well, let's face it. Not everyone can cook and there are NUMEROUS things that can go wrong with food, cross contamination, mold, bacteria, burning, wrong ingredients, SANITATION, but it was pretty good. I can only hope that at school on Monday I'm not hearing horror stories about becoming sick! In the end it was completely fantabulous and a very good way of learning about other cultures! I give it a thumbs up! So stay tuned in for more from the girl with the knack for knowledge!
