Alternative sugar-- Maybe!!!

I made some crackers for my class's party (I teach English as a Second

Language). I just got sick and tired of hearing all these foreigners

saying that Americans only eat hamburgers, so I decided that I would

bring in some crackers and Tommie's wonderful " cheddar cheese " .

When I got down to making the crackers, I didn't have everything to

make any of the recipes I had, so I just decided to wing it. I had

about a quart of wheat sprouts that were threatening to go bad, so I

threw them in the mix with 2 cups of ground flax seed and about a cup

of carrot pulp.

Anyway, when the time came, and my students asked me what *that* was,

I told them it was " hamburgers " ! (because they always say we only eat

hamburgers!

Finally, they broke me down, and I told them that it was all raw food.

I explained what was in everything, and I explained that the " cheese "

was only cashews, orange pepper, lemon juice, onion powder, salt, and

water. They were all very curious to know about these " hamburgers " . I

explained several times that I had made everything myself in my home,

and that it had taken about 24 hours to bring everything to them

(okay, 12 hours for the crackers, then I went to work, then 20 minutes

to make the cheese, then maybe 12 hours in the refrigerator - I do

think that makes it better)

to make a long story short,they ate all the crackers and the cheese!

(I had thought i would have some to bring home!) Now, people from

Turkey, Russia, Kazakhstan, Peru, Mexico, Colombia, China, Japan,

Korea, and Mongolia know that American people do not *only* eat

hamburgers, and that American food can be delicious.
