ok ok... so where to begin.....
probably the VERY beginning.
Last night I spent the night at a girl from class^s house after a birthday party. we went to bed at about 2am-2:30am. we then woke up at 8am to get dressed and catch our trains. (oh and for readers of my posts before ... by miracle my contacts stayed in all night and didnt hurt too bad in the morning). It took me about 3hrs to get home because I forgot to buy chips to go with the homeade salsa I prepared for tonights taco dinner.
Once home again, I knew I needed to test another tortilla in the oven because the practice one yesterday was sooooo bad. well this one worked I am proud to say and I cooked 18. well in this process I may have come close to setting the house on fire twice... well once... the second time there was just alot of black smoke that filled the house. (fyi my family doesnt have fire detecters here... if i lived with them for the whole yeah it would be their christmas girft!!).
Next I realised we had nother for dessert (a big thing to this family) so I thought OH I WILL MAKE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. now I have to ask my self... why elizabeth... why????
they came out terrible!!! hard as rocks, you cant taste the chocolate, and well... i dont know. so I amlost cried when i pulled them out of the oven.
for appetiser time we had chips and salsa, the grandmother asked what was in it and i started to list off all the things including lime WHICH I HAD TOTALLY FORGOTTEN, so I left and went to the kitchen to cut them for the tacos.
then at dinner (with the family and grandparents) everyone loved the tacos. (it was so much like home... minus doritos.... not that I am bitter about that....) they were fun, my family had no clue how to eat it hahahaha.
then we served dessert and everyone went on about the cookies and I actually started crying at the table. omg, how emberessing.
after dinner I said i was sorry, and one day I would laugh about it.... just today wasnt that day....
then I remembered I never cooked the beans (which we baught 3 cans of).
so today after the party I got home at 2pm and cooked until 6pm. smoke, tears, laughter, tears, smoke, and laughter, (notice sleep/rest is not in that list).
well i am off the sleep. early wake up tomorrow.
What a day! Are the cookies dunkable in tea? You can send chocolate chip cookies next year when you are home. I left a bunch of comments on other posts but I don't know to get notified of new comments or posts? Do you?
ReplyDeletethe cookies... I asked my host brothers to make them dissapear by the time I returned from school.... haha
DeleteI do get all your comments. it is very hard to reply if i am not at my computer. sorry! they are very nice though
Please don't feel responsible to respond to all my comments. That's not what I meant. I am just wondering how to see when you have new posts. I have tried to subscribe twice but I don't think I have been successful. I will keep trying, though and will probably get it done when you are ready to come home next year :)
