Chili
Last month our language school hosted a “cena internazionale” - an International Dinner. Our school has students from all over the world, so it was fun to be able to try foods from all over the place. I even tried the Sushi - I’m not a fan!
Heidi whipped up some delicious chili and enchiladas. Of all the foods from home, we miss Mexican the most. Heidi’s chili was a big hit. One of the teachers that wasn’t able to attend the dinner told my teammate that he was going to make sure and come to this month’s dinner so that he could try the chili that he had been hearing about. I guess all the other teachers were raving about it. The school secretary kept bugging Heidi to give her the recipe. She was having guests and wanted to make it for them. She wasn’t able to, however, because some of the ingredients are difficult to find here in Italy. Jalpeños are almost non-existent. You can buy them canned, but they are imported and very expensive.
Anyway, just a fun story about Heidi’s delicious cooking!
