CCPA & Miss Debbie Cake

This afternoon I observed some English classes at the Paraguayan-American Cultural Center. No pictures today, but I got to hear a lot of English! Their classes were run a lot more like what I'm used to (other than the technology aspect). I will be going again tomorrow morning to talk to the teachers again, this time with some ideas for activities.

Tonight I have the CDE Rotary Club meeting. I'm attempting to make a Miss Debbie Cake (as it is known in my family)--chocolate cake drizzled with caramel and sweetened condensed milk, topped with Cool Whip. I did great until I got to the Cool Whip part...there is nothing like it to be found here, so I'm trying to remember watching Grandmother make it at holidays. It's not going so good right now, so I'm going to scour Allrecipes to see if I can find some pointers. (Ooops...I forgot the part about not getting the stove lit [gas stove...haven't had one of those] and trying to suffocate myself. [Don't worry, Mama...Graciela came in about 3 minutes later and set me straight.] And then when the stove was lit, the top of the cake got scorched. So maybe "great" is an overstatement.) Keep your fingers crossed for me!
