I need some help. Next Tuesday I am cooking an "American meal" for all of the sensei who live in the dorm with me (in repayment for the meal they cooked me, and also just because I want to and I think it will be fun). So right now all I know I am making is:
1. Philly Cheesesteak sandwich
2. Chocolate chip cookies
These are the only things I could think of that were "American" and that, more importantly, it would actually be POSSIBLE to make in Japan. And the cookies gave me hell until one of the Elementary school teachers introduced me to a lady who is the baking queen, and she actually has an oven (most Japanese DO NOT).
But anyways, I need to think of something else to make for the entree. I want to give people options. But it needs to be something relatively easy for me to re-create in Japan, but still something that these people probably haven't eaten before (okay, to be fair there are chocolate chip cookies in Japan... or at least cookies that POSE as chocolate chip... but I need to make some real ones).
Any ideas of something simple that I won't have to go on a treasure hunt for the ingredients to? Entrees and side dishes are good. Onegaishimasu! (Please!)

Mashed potatoes?
That's all I can think of.
If you can find a turkey that'd be cool. Maybe fry chicken. Collard greens are good Southern American food.
Do you have access to any commissaries nearby?
