Conference, Asia style

So, we had General Conference a week later than you folks back in the states. Mostly because we would have had to wait until midnight and four in the morning to watch it. 

It was really cool! And Saturday night, we ladies (me and two girls in our group, Brooke and Haiden) decided that we wanted to be adventurous and try to make pancakes for breakfast on Sunday. Seems easy right? Well, it's not. Standing in the grocery store at nine o'clock at night and purchasing ingredients by their texture (well, as far as we could tell feeling through the bag) is no small feat. The flour did have an English label, it said 'baking powder'. I guess technically it is powder that you bake with. But we needed real backing powder too, and I think we ended up with corn starch (we decided to forgo that). Who needs their pancakes to be fluffy anyways?

Making them was an adventure as well. We have yet to see measuring cups, so things were all approximated. We cooked them all one by one in the wok, chopped up some chocolate pieces to sprinkle in the batter and topped them with peanut butter, bananas and strawberry jam. Actually, they turned out pretty good! And we felt pretty empowered by our small accomplishment.
