An American Apple Pie

Being a vegetarian in America can sometimes be a challenging task. You either need someone to guide you in making the right choices, or you have to go through many trials before your taste buds learn what works for you. At first, whenever I looked for vegetarian meals, I was often just offered salads. And every time I tried something different, I ended up making the wrong choice. However, I've been fortunate enough to find some great combinations of taste and flavor. One memorable experience was when I enjoyed eating out and had an American apple pie, which is a must-try for anyone visiting the U.S. After searching around, I discovered a great restaurant just down the street. Fridays are particularly interesting. On the other weekdays, when I leave school at 4:30 PM, it often feels like I'm leaving early. But on Fridays, by 4:00 PM, I notice that almost no one is still at school. People seem to leave their offices as soon as they can to spend time with family or friends and enjoy a long, relaxing dinner. Everyone around here calls it "Fabulous Friday." It's all about chilling and taking it easy!
