Crack Cookies

-















Okay, not crack, just maple cream, but these cookies are my current "eat more healthy" resolution downfall. Two cookies with a layer of maple cream in the middle. So simple, so perfect, so the reason I'm still going to be chubby for another few weeks. I'm trying to ration them. It's not going well.

My Canadian friend bought them for me in Canada. So when they're gone, they're gone. Because I'm sure you can't buy them on the internet. No, you can't. Not even gonna look. These are the last maple cream cookies on earth. Phew!

Your secret is safe with me, guess who. And yes, I do know who. Who else could pull that off?

P.S. You are evil.

He he! I looove those... but was a good girl and chose the ginger snaps over the maple crack cookies yesterday at the grocery store.

Hint: you do have blogger friends in Canada in case you need a fix ;-)

Love ginger snaps too. I like them with tea.

The thing that kills me about these cookies--100 calories each! I like biting the top of the leaf off, though.

And they say you can spread the maple cream on your muffins.

I was thinking just plain from a spoon. I used to have a roommate who ate marshmallow creme like that. Always grossed me out. But maple cream...a different story!

Maple cream cookies? Seriously? I guess so since you're blogging about them. My parents love these cookies. They buy the ones made by Dare. I can't stand them. Too sugary sweet for me. But my parents love anything maple. They love to drizzle real maple syrup on chocolate cake (it's a french thing I think. I've only heard of other French-Canadians doing so, but I could be wrong). I'm not a big fan of maple. I prefer it in very small doses. But I'll take a Coffee Crisp or Twix bar anyday, repeatly throughout the day.

Jen: Maple syrup on chocolate cake? Holy instant diabetes. As you know I am usually not a sugar fiend, but when I am craving it...hard for me to stop. And dammit I just love maple.

Isn't there some law about how much maple Canadians have to consume each year? Just kidding.

Coffee Crisps rule.

I think these could actually be worse than crack. The last time I had a box here, I managed to eat half of them before I'd realized what was going on. EVIL...but man, I like me some evil everyonce in a while.

Quick Notes

I cut my hair today, it now looks like Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction. It took two hours, it was the most meticulous haircut I have ever received. He was amazing. I wish I could take him with me to Chongqing. Tomorrow I move into a hotel with the other volunteers in downtown Chengdu. We have a few days of meetings and then I move to Chongqing on Wednesday. It's about 4 hours away by train. Our new school helps us move, I am crossing my fingers they bring a car or some strong men to help! My suitcases are hella heavy. We had a banquet last night for our host families. The power went out so we ate in the dark, and then we decided to move to a restaurant next door where dinner started all over again. It was a very China evening. I will post pics asap.

This One Time I Thought I Was Really Hot (But It Was Just The HVAC Talking)

-
Back in San Antonio, my friend Stacey had asked me to pick her up from the airport. It was full summer, and for those of you who haven't been in San Antonio in the summertime, you know that expression 'hot as an oven'? Well, I like to say San Antonio summers are 'hot as downwind from an exhaust pipe.' (Which means when you actually are downwind from an exhaust pipe, things get really unpleasant.) It's quite common for there to be a temperature difference of 35-40 degrees between indoor and outdoor air during a San Antonio summer. True story: I had a small heater at my work desk and turned it on in the summer, not winter, because the air conditioning was on so high in our building I froze to death at my desk. So anyway, I go straight from the gym to the airport to pick up Stacey. It's 10 pm but still around 100 degrees outside. Inside, it's a balmy 60 or so. Gotta give those tourists a false sense of comfort! I'm pacing a bit in the baggage area wa...

Really?!?? AKA, Cultural Mishaps in China, They Will Happen

-
After judging a speech competition all morning at a school that is not my own, I was asked to hand out the second place prizes. They also asked some other teachers, but I missed the details because they only gave them in Chinese and I didn’t understand everything. I was only supposed to hand out 4 of 12 prizes. But the prize girl kept handing me certificates, so I kept handing them out, while the audience laughed at me. I didn’t know what was going on, so I just kept going until someone stopped me. Later, I was interviewed for the school news, on video, and the girl interviewing me asked me this question: Random Girl: “When you made the mistake and everyone was laughing at you, what did you feel inside?” Really, random girl? Really? On camera you ask me this? Really? Two years ago, this would have devastated me. Now, I just have to laugh and say, “Oh well! Such is life in China.” Cultural mistakes will be made. It happens. For the record, I told her I felt that it is maybe go...
