1. My host mom couldn't understand why I bought a measuring cup and spoons. For example, she told Sarai and me "Just use the whole bottle [of peanut butter]" (in Spanish of course) We measured it out, and we used about half a bottle.
2. She also could not understand why I wanted both sugar and brown sugar. I told her I didn't know, it is what the recipe calls for! Still didn't understand. "Well, they have different tastes"... still didn't understand.
3. The ovens don't have degree markings. How are you supposed to know what to set it for?
Anyway... the cookies turned out pretty good. Not as good as when we make them at home, probably because the brown sugar had a weird texture (it wasn't fine and clumpy, but loose like regular sugar and the grains were really big), and because the chocolate I bought was not all that great. But they were good nonetheless, and they lasted all of oh, maybe 7 hours. The picture below is what was left after Sarai and I each took one or two when we got back from our excursion around 5pm, and at 7pm I took the last one to stash in my room for Sunday. I know there are a lot of people in my house, but geez!
yummmmm...
