Well, it didn’t take us long to take advantage of our Hiper Paiz purchases. On Sunday afternoon once we returned to Comayagua, Jenny and I decided it was time to open the can of pumpkin! Let the cookie baking begin! We found a great recipe for pumpkin 
cookies with caramel icing, so we went for it! I noticed that the recipe called for pretty large quantities of ingredients, however, it said “Yield 3 ½ Dozen” so I figured that seemed like a good amount. Since we don’t have an oven or range, (just two plug-in burners, see photo right) we have learned to make things many things, cookies included, in our toaster oven (see photo left). After we whipped up the batter, we were a
ble to bake the cookies in the toaster oven 6 at a time. It was weird, it seemed like we just keep baking, and baking but we never seemed to make a den
t in the batter. About halfway through the bowl of dough we hit 3 dozen baked cookies - that is when we realized we were in for a long night! 4 hours later and approximately 85 cookies later, the bowl was finally empty! Our toaster oven definitely stood the test of time and produced baked the cookies to perfection! Jenny and I both had stomach aches and sugar highs from all the cookies we ate during the process, but it was definitely worth it. The cookies were seriously AMAZING! We took a good portion to school with us today to share with our fellow coworkers…however, we still have at least a couple dozen left! (Email me if you want the recipe!) 
Greg arrived back in 
waste anytime before starting dinner. We fired up the griddle and went to town preparing the batter for our highly anticipated blueberry pancakes. They turned out fabulous! We topped them with a touch of butter and honey and downed the whole batch! DELISH! It is fun to take pleasure in the ´little´things in life! So, although we do not have scrumptious North American restaurants here, we do our best to create our own tasty treats…and dream of the delicious food back in the states!

Those look deeeeeelishuuuuuss! But I would have to try some to be completely sure. If Greg hasn't finished them all yet, I would love one. Maybe I'll have to swing over there sometime soon.
