Rebecca: "Daniel,
How wonderful that you and your wife cook delicious food together!  My Spanish roommates often think that my American food is strange.  One weekend I made bagels, a kind of bread that look like donuts, but aren´t usually sweet.  In the US, we often eat toasted bagels with cream cheese for a quick, tasty breakfast.  My roommate tried one and said it was delicious!"
