Cooking and Baking!

Hi again, Mom!  Thought we would check in and let you know what we are up to here in West Newfield, Maine in the U.S.A.!  Our host Mom looooves to cook, so we promise we are being well fed!  Know what we made today??  Poppycock!  It's an awesomely sweet, salty, nutty, toffee popcorn treat!  Oh it was soooo good!  



Here is the recipe if you are ever interested in making it at home - we wouldn't object if you wanted to!!  Just make sure to share!!

POPPYCOCK RECIPE

It's not always sweets and treats though!  Did you know that our host Mom has a little Aerogarden in her home??  It's real neat; she can grow lettuce, tomatoes, and even herbs like basil or oregano!  We sometimes like to lay under the lights and catch a little tan - heheee!!


The fall is coming, Mom!  Pretty leaves are going to be starting to fall from the trees!  We are excited!!

Love,
Stella & Luna  xoxox

The Nephews!

Hey Mom!  Though we would take the time and introduce you to our host family's nephews: Jake (16) and Zach (11).  They hung with us often when we did things!  We also tried to help out as much as possible too! For example, while at a restaurant, Zach was discussing a Math problem he was having trouble with.  Of course, we tried to assist in the equation.....but then decided just to eat more French Fries!  

Mom, we are in love with Heinz ketchup, by the way....we need to make sure we have LOTS at home!  hahaa!


With Jake, we love to watch Basketball games with him on the BIG 70" TV and also just sit and relax playing games on the iPad.  Regardless of what we do, the nephews are fun to be with!



Talk to you again soon!  Love you, Mom!!!
