Where I fit in the box of crayons....

Do you ever get that feeling like there's more out there? That's the feeling that brought me to beyond borders. The global community is growing, and I have not yet become a part of it. I want to be a contributing citizen to the global community through participation and action. Over the years, I have developed an appreciation for diversity and difference, and look for other ways that people are doing things. There’s a whole world out there beyond our North American perspective that has the potential to change the way I see things, and to change my life. Gahndi said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." I think we should not only find the change within ourselves, but also take part in the change we want to see in the world. I hope that Beyond Borders will offer a medium in which I can be the change I want to see in the world, and also take part in that change.

Back to Cookies

Today i baked cookies...

now 2 months ago this would be a normal statement, but I have not baked in over a month - after 9000 cookies I was pretty tired of everything about cookies: the smell, the heat, the work, the flour, the sugar etc. I left toronto SOOOOO happy to not have to look at another cookie for 4 months...

(fast forward a month) I miss baking cookies.... I miss the smell, the flour, the sugar, the icing, the results... I also REALLY miss my own kitchen. Every now and again it's nice to be fed, but I always feel catered to here and thats not a feeling I'm used to.

So tonight, I baked. not only is ther no peanut butter in Ukraine, they also do not have chocolate chips, and no chocolate chips means no chocolate chip cookies!!!!! they had no idea what to make of my goopy mess of dough, and then what came out of the oven... BUT I think they have fallen in love, so that MIGHT mean I am making a whole lot more cookies than I had originally planned on.... oops!

but for now there's a whole lot of fresh baked, chewy chocolate chip cookies for them to enjoy. Tastes like home...


*love*
