Last Sunday the International Student Office hosted a pot-luck for International students and their host families. Our ladies, Joyce and Aanchal, came over early to help make our food. We made two loaves of whole wheat bread (didn't turn out great), and they were blown away by the amount of flour added to make bread. We also used up some leftover Thanksgiving turkey that Q discovered in the freezer and made a casserole with rice, alphabet noodles, cheesy white sauce, and peas. They were so proud of their contribution, and helped carry it to campus, and set it up in the buffet line.
They both had so much fun playing with Slane, carrying her, holding her, and feeding her. They played with her hair and took her to show off to their friends. Joyce got Slane an early birthday gift, and had fun helping open it.
When the pot-luck was over our girls helped gather all of our stuff and get it ready to go.
How special for Slane to be exposed now, even if just a little bit, to the cultures of our International students. Maybe someday she can go visit them in India or Korea and they can share their babies with her. And hopefully in the Fall Slane can spend time with her "big brother," and learn more about Pakistan.
