The Price is Wrong
Tomorrow night will mark the first time that Lawren and I will have to cook dinner for our host family. We told them that we were very capable of making dinner every now and then, so they put us on the schedule: every Wednesday night is our night.
So today we went to the grocery store to pick up the necessary items for Chicken Fajitas. Most of the prices were similar to the those in the U.S., with the exception of the chicken. We picked up a 2/3 lb. package of chicken, only to find out that it was priced at $5. Much more expensive than the States, but we decided to bite the bullet. But while standing in line at the cash register, I happened to notice a large display of beer. Bavaria, a relatively good beer, was priced at around $4 for a 24-pack (bottles). Interesting. After pushing moral dilemmas aside, it finally dawned on me why the Dutch consume so much beer. It's cheaper than buying basic food products. (And it is, in fact, quite cheaper than Coke).
So with that said, any meal suggestions for next Wednesday?

Ace and L-Train,
It sounds to me that you're going to knock the socks off of your host family with your meal on Wednesday night. I think the 24-pack at $4 is almost begging you to buy it and consume it with your meal.
By the way, what happened to those pictures of their daughter's that you were going to post??? I'm getting wrestless.
Also, the Defenders host the Red-Raiders on Wednesday night, be sure to show that "Defender Pride" that you and Lawren show so well.

Buy them some fast food, show them what we American's are all about. Aaron, it's been so long, remind me how you feel about McDonalds?
McD's = Poop in bag.
"What do they call a Quarter-Pounder with cheese? A Royale with Cheese, do you know why?"
"Cause..cause of the metric system."

Sorry Cooper, but "When in Rome..."
No, Ron, that doesn't work there...
