As an update to my making food adventures. I appreciate all the suggestions, but I think that you overestimated my cooking abilities or the availability of american cooking supplies in Albania or my ability to communicate in Albanian.
Anyway. I ended up food processing tomatoes and throwing in pepper, salt, olive oil, basil and throwing it on top of macaroni. Then at the last second I melted a lot of butter and threw that in and tossed it around.
It vaguely resembled spaghetti sauce (but not really) Not my most succesful cooking adventure, but I didn't have a lot to go on. And I do know that spaghetti sauce is not particularly american, but its tough cooking american here. The important thing was that it was a cross cultural exchange. And the family all ate it so it couldn't have been that bad.
In other news, I'm going down south at the end of the week for a site visit. I'm really excited about that. I will post more later!
