"proud to be an American..."

I suppose I should never complain again about not being able to find root beer here. I wonder if anyone ever buys this.

With a name like Stars and Stripes I bet you can just taste the flag.

I am a root beer afficionado and have tried over 100 brands (it's surprisingly hard to beat A&W!), but I've never heard of this one.

Oh... it was made by Cliffstar, which got bought by Cott, which is trying to compete with Red Bull in energy drinks right now. Stars and Stripes only sells in Dollar Stores and CVS Pharmacies in the U.S. - now THAT's the hallmark of quality beverages!

About Me:

I started this blog with a fellow history graduate student when we were both living far from home: Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Ibadan, Nigeria. We wanted to stay in touch with each other, and because both of us share a love of cooking and baking we thought it would be a great subject for a blog about living abroad.
Life has changed a lot since then. I still live in Amsterdam, very far away from some of my co-blogger. Regan returned to Los Angeles and has taken a break from blogging for the time being. I try to keep up some semblance of order in this tiny corner of the internet by blogging periodically. When the blog began, it was about cooking and eating abroad, and to a large extent it still is. I've expanded the scope of the blog into some of the other aspects of life as an American expat.
