Happy Monday/Martin Luther King Day, everyone. We had some yuck weather up here today for a bit, so I hope everyone in MA/NH was safe!
Tonight we just had homemade pizza, so nothing special to post about that that I haven't posted before. What I'm hoping is that everyone can start giving me creative ideas for our Olympic menu - 25 more days until they start! Here are the countries I'm hoping to make recipes from:
1. Tribute to the U.S. team
2. Russia
3. Canada
4. Sweden
5. China
6. Japan
7. Korea
8. Ukraine
9. Norway
10. Germany
11. Austria
12. Finland
13. Italy
14. France
15. Switzerland
16. Netherlands
17. Czechoslovakia
18. Great Britain
19. Poland
20. Jamaica - remember Cool Runnings??
The Olympics are only 17 days, but I can combine regions for one night, etc. Please help/suggest some international recipes, or other countries I should consider:) This will be fun! I love the Olympics - figure skating is my #1 love, but I so look forward to the other sports that you only really see around Olympics time - bobsled, moguls, snowboarding, etc etc! Does anyone else do anything special for the Olympics? Is anyone attending?? Anyone watch the U.S. mens and pairs skating coverage this weekend? We have a very strong men's team, and I'm really excited about Denney and Barrett in pairs, and a bit surprised that Inoue and Baldwin weren't picked as the 2nd pair over Evora and Ladwig. But what do I know? ;)
Fajitas tomorrow night, which I've posted before, so tomorrow night may be more Olympic recipe talk, as hopefully I'll have some of my own research done about international meals:) I also need to order an Olympic shirt online....note to self to do this!

I think a trip to Lake Placid is in order. You would enjoy taking it all in. As for recipes, I look forward to suggestions also.
Wow, that is an awesome idea!
For the US you have to do some sort of awesome burger ~ but that's the easy one ;)
you should ask Nans for a recipe from the Netherlands!
Hey! Ya left off most of my favorite cuisines haha! Thai, Vietnamese, Peruvian and Greek. I think you would love trying to make them all, thought Vietnamese can be a bit trickier in terms of finding the ingredients.
My mom, sister and I were crazy about figure skating when I was a kid. We'd make homemade popcorn and set up camp in front of the TV for hours!
Mom, I think so too, but maybe in the summer - too cold now! CC - definitely some kind of cheeseburger with bacon I think;) Melissa, great idea, I just sent Nans a message! Melissa #2 - Sorry, just trying to go by countries that are big names in the Winter Olympics, but I'll take recipe suggestions from you for another time from those countries:) My mom and I used to watch skating all the time too, and my dad would just hope they all fell!
Ohhhh. Duh. Forgive me, I am crazy braindead from all the overtime at work. Truly I can't wait to see your dishes. I've never eaten most of these cuisines.
