First Calendar Event
Today is my first official "event" on my missionary-itineration schedule. Ken Burtram, the district secretary-treasurer, has invited the missionaries that are currently in the area, to his home in VA for a picnic this afternoon. We were asked to bring a side dish typical of our country of ministry. I made a tomato quiche, which I learned to make from my friend ChiChi. Her recipe isn't exactly measured--its sort of "throw in a little of this" and "leave in the oven long enough to look like that." So we'll see how it turns out (it's in the oven now). I hope it tastes as good as ChiChi's always does!
I also bought a baguette in a long paper bag that says "Esprit de France" (Spirit of France) on the side. But I can tell just by looking at it that it's not "real" French bread. For one thing, the crust should be hard on the outside, and its not! I think that this is the closest thing I'll find, though, and I'm not going to be a bread snob.
More later after the event.
