American cooking f lmgrib. المغرب

Last night, we had the chance to make dinner for our host family. Both host-mom and Khadijah were feeling a little under the weather, so we jumped at the opportunity. Also, it's cold and windy and rainy and a little snowy here, so we figured it was the perfect night for some chowder! Without bacon. It was awesome. Plus, it was a good chance to go shopping and practice our language "skills."

We had potatoes, corn, onions, garlic, butter, salt, pepper, milk, cheese (Gouda), flour, and a little American love. Additionally, here's a picture of us with a giant ladle. 

The chowder turned out great and was super cheesy and salty, which are two flavor profiles that we haven't had the opportunity to enjoy for a month or so. According to our Language and Cultural Facilitator, it's unlike any Moroccan food and she hadn't tried anything like it before. Success!
