Today was the goodbye picnic for all the exchange students leaving the language program. Each country made a typical dish, the Brazilians made a pudding like dessert made from condensed milk and chocolate, the Thai made noodles, and of course the Americans made apple and pumpkin pie. Graham and I made the apple pie and crusts, while Haley and Orianna made the pumpkin. We were just planning on making apple pie, until our teacher actually asked us to make pumpkin too! She had lived in the states and missed pumpkin pie...so she wanted us to make her some. Except there was a catch. There's no such thing as cans of pumpkins in Germany. So we bought a mini pumpkin, made pumpkin purée and then made the pumpkin pie, and none of us had ever done that before. It was an experiment that actually turned out well! Then we ran into another problem. Apparently, there's no pie pans in Germany either. So we had to use a cake pan with tall sides and just try to make a pie inside a cake pan, which it actually turned out well! Overall the pies and picnic was a success. Walking back to the bus stop, I saw a slug. Which for me, is normal and nothing exciting. However, Orianna got really excited and had to examine it because she has somehow never seen a slug, and the slug I found was huge!
