This past Saturday, me and three other girls living and working with FH here in Lima, went to our language teacher's house to show her and her sister how to bake cookies American style! It is difficult to make the common cookies you would make in the states, because you cannot find brown sugar here in Peru. It is even difficult to find molasses to try and make your own kind of brown sugar substitute. However, after living here in Peru for the past few years we have learned to stock up on brown sugar from the states...it is a staple on the list of "what to bring down". Several small packages of MMs were also donated to the project to help flavor the cookies. Therefore, we were able to make monster cookies, sugar cookies, and a chocolate brownie cheesecake as a treat!
It was a long afternoon, but I had a great time hanging with the girls! Paul was gracious enough to take Cael out for a boys afternoon so that I could have the afternoon off. What a sweet guy!!
