Two days ago, I receive the best package ever in the mail. And about two thirds of this package was filled with snickerdoodles :) Thank you Cameron. They are wonderful cookies. They have in fact replaces breakfast and lunch meals for me over the last two days. It was put me in a really sunny disposition. The whole world benefits.
Now, I thought that snickerdoodles were a common cookie, but apparently I was wrong. I asked my homestay family if they wanted a snickerdoodle, and they looked at me like I was crazy until they saw cookies in my hand. Evidently snickerdoodles do not exist in Australia. This seemed somewhat tragic, so I was convinced that SOMEONE in Australia would know what they are.
I was wrong. I have yet to find an Australian that doesn't look at me and slowly say "snicker...doodle?" in their Aussie accents. It makes me giggle every time. Truly awesome. Anyway, there is a boy who is in two classes with me, and we were discussing Australia's cookie deficiency when I shared a snickerdoodle with him. He loved it. Maybe Cameron is an especially good cookie cook? I mean, baker. Yes, perhaps. Either way, this boy then said that they don't have cookies here as much because everyone opts for cold desserts.
I then explained the concept of a cookie-ice cream sandwich. Someone needs to come over here and make a store that specializes in this. It would be such a hit in this country. Also, they need to know about the wonders of bubble tea. Someone come fill this void!!!
