A wonderful 24 hours in Ohio

During the camp, there's a day off for each leader, they could choose where they want to go or what to do. For me, instead of going to the other cities for shopping or clubbing like the other leaders, I prefer to have a peaceful, calm and restful day off thus I stayed with a family that live in the countryside to experience their American style of living and I also had a chance to visit the world largest and oldest military "National Museum of the United States Air Force".

After visiting the National Museum and doing some grocery shopping, we went "home". I couldn't be more delighted when I found out that for dinner, we were to have pizza because it's one of my favorite food!

Since we were going to eat in the house, we had to pick up the Pizza first from
Karen's Pizzaria
106 N Main St
Christiansburg, OH

The pizzas are so delicious!!! Much better than those being served at the camp or any pizzas that I've eaten here so far in Jakarta - Oops, am I exaggerating? Hahaha, but seriously, it's so delicious.

Different way of cutting a pizza.

A good frozen dessert after eating a lot of pizza :)

Vanilla ice cream between 2 chocolate cookies

I was asked, whether there's anything that I would like to eat. Without any hesitation, my direct answer's Rice Krispies Treats :)

This is Parker, he loves to make cookies!
And yes, he is the one who made the Rice Krispies Treats for the second dessert.

Rice Krispies Recipe from Kellogs:

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 package (10 oz., about 40) regular marshmallows or 4 cups miniature marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies


Directions:
1. In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
2. Add Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until well coated.
3. Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cool. Cut into 2-inch squares. Best if served the same day.

Note:

• For best results, use fresh marshmallows.
• 1 jar (7 oz.) marshmallow crème can be substituted for marshmallows.
• Diet, reduced calorie or tub margarine is not recommended.
• Store no more than two days at room temperature in airtight container. To freeze, place in layers separated by wax paper in airtight container. Freeze for up to 6 weeks. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.

The following day, the family brought me to Loretta's Country Kitchen for lunch. It's a small casual restaurant serving American's home country-style food.
