See if you can get Mr. 4444 to try it as an arrival family - there is a desperate need this year, and you'd only be committed for a few weeks. You can contact www.yfu.org to find out how to do this. I just got a notice this morning about how they really need arrival families!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362687820368214420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-61089418946545523202008-08-16T00:37:00.000-04:002008-08-16T00:37:00.000-04:00Holy cow!

And yes, C loves DQ, too!<BR/><BR/>Jenn, she lives closer to you than to me, so maybe you can drag her with you on a market trip one of these days. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Glamah, I just found that trick about asking for the dry scallops myself. They worked wonderfully. Actually, too, M (Swedish daughter), S (German daughter), H (Armenian daughter) and K (Danish son) all love to cook, as do many of my students. Maybe it will make a comeback! My only exchange student who didn't love cooking was my Japanese daughter (unless it involved cookie dough or a traditional dish that she was showing us). ;-)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362687820368214420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-10332947863628772012008-08-13T16:00:00.000-04:002008-08-13T16:00:00.000-04:00Dru, it's pretty darned easy.Sarabeth, M is more l...Dru, it's pretty darned easy.<BR/><BR/>Sarabeth, M is more like family than a visitor, which is part of the reason this works. ;-)<BR/><BR/>PM - C IS a great kid (if I say so myself, lol).
