french toast!

this morning i made french toast for the vergara family. they dug it. tried to explain maple syrup, but i think they were a little baffled by the tree part. (it does sound kind of primitive, if you think about it.) so guess what i used for syrup instead.....manjar!! i put some manjar (which comes in a consistency of like peanut butter) and milk in a pan and heated it and stirred it until it became a sauce. put it in a little pitcher and they loved it. (of course also bought some "azucar flor" - powdered sugar - to sprinkle on top.) i think it was a success! we also had yogurt - which is really runny down here; they treat it more like a drink - with banana slices. later today bea was like "from now on every weekend we will have french toast!" haha. little do they know i'll be sending them some maple syrup after i leave for christmas :)
then i went to chillan with kelsey. spent a lot of money....got a lot of neat stuff :)
am really excited to come home. can't believe i only have 2 days left.
