I promised I'd make an American food and I have finally decided: Chocolate Milkshakes.
Almost everyone loves them, they're stupid easy to make, and they'll get our blood pumping for our finals! I don't know if I should even put this recipe in the cookbook because it's so basic, but we'll see. The fun part is that I didn't even have to decide for myself. I posted in a Facebook group of friends from around the world asking to comment their favorite American food. Milkshakes were the most popular and logical choice.
I want to take this last post of the school year (first non-graded post) to thank everyone who helped me with this project, especially my parents who reluctantly searched grocery aisles and let me make our kitchen a little messier. Also props to Mrs. Roulo for trusting us enough to keep this project so open-ended and loose, I honestly loved it. Big shout out to Grace Schoenknecht for coming up with the project idea:
Ruth: "I really wanted to do something about different cultures because I love to travel, but I also wanted to learn more about cooking because I love food."
Grace: "Why don't you just combine them and make foods from different countries?"
Ruth: "YES, THAT'S PERFECT. MRS. ROULO I HAVE A PROJECT IDEA!"
Stay tuned this summer and in the coming year as I will be updating foods and travels. Thank you for all the positive feedback during these last few months, and have a good summer!
