I had a play date yesterday. Kimberly's friend came over and brought her three year old daughter Natasha with her. We made gingerbread cookies! Natasha wasn't too into actually making the dough but she enjoyed cutting out the shapes and she really really enjoyed decorating the cookies. I just made a little bit of icing and and she used that as "glue" to stick Smarties all over the cookies. She gave them purple eyes and blue buttons and orange shoes... it was very exciting.
Today, I made fudge. Like most things I make here, it doesn't taste quite right. The ingredients are just different. It drives me nuts. BUT I also made snowball cookies (while listening to Christmas music, of course) and they taste wonderful! So that's good. I'm excited to do some baking when I get home where everything will taste the way it's supposed to. I'm thinking about trying to do home-made marshmallows this year. I've never done it before but Laurie (the alto from my caroling quartet) makes them every year and she used to bring us some to eat during our breaks. They're really way nicer than normal marshmallows and I think it would be a fun thing to try to make.
Guess what -- by this time tomorrow I'll be hanging out with Hilde!! Yay! I'm really excited about that. AND by this time tomorrow Steven will be on his way to the airport! ALSO VERY EXCITING!!!
I need to figure out what I'm cooking for dinner... have a lovely day!
