All Black Day

Since the kids go to an "international" school, it seems with all these horrible disasters going on around the world that they seem to know someone affected by each. It's a good thing, in the way it is making them much more aware to the things going on far away, but it is bad in the same aspect. When Pakistan had all the flooding, they had Green Day. The kids paid to have a free dress day, but still wore green. They had the option of donating more, and midget gave all her piggy savings. They have another day on Monday, all black day for New Zealand. There are alot more people at school, including staff, who are from New Zealand. They are also having a bake sale, i have volunteered t bake, and man a stall. They have some interesting recipes, don't seem t like the typical chocolate iced cupcakes? Scones, and smething like peanut brittle called hokey pokey? It's for a good cause, and midget and monkey are all excited to help bake, and taste test, tomorrow. Cross your fingers these things turn out edible, and i don't poison anyone!

  1. Mmmmm I love Scones, with whipped cream and jam - yum. There is great NZ icecream called hokey pokey too - its caramel with toffee peices all through it. Delish! Ahhh so now you are getting a little taste of Australia - must be for your generosity in sharing a little bit of Texas love!!

  2. That is too funny polly, thank you! Are scones hard? Hubby claims they are hard on the outside? I thought they were like soft bread? I saw about that ice cream, that does sound yummy! Have you heard of prailines and cream? That is with caramel and prailines, it's so good too!
