The first time Spain tastes no-bake cookies

So maybe it wasn't the first time Spain has tasted no-bake cookies...but it was the first time Luisa tasted them! It was so fun! Almost everyday us three girls watch our favorite "cocinero" on the TV while we eat lunch. He is our favorite because he laughs at all of his own jokes and breaks out in full song throughout the program. For weeks we've been talking about making no-bake cookies...so today became the day! We introduced peanut butter to her the other day (luckily Lara my roommate had brought some from back home-thanks Lara!) We have found only ONE place in all of Alcala that sells it!
We had a blast cooking together (and trying to convert the measurements into the metric system...) I wish I could have filmed Luisa's reactions to everything- they were priceless! When she gets excited about something she makes this noise with her mouth (I don't know if it's typical of Spain or not...) but it sounds like this: oyoyoyoyoyoy (but say it really fast) It is hilarious! Me and Lara laugh about it all the time...and it has become a part of our own vocabulary.
(Luisa trying the warm no-bake mix. With wide eyes and a big grin she said: "No me gusta, no no no. ME ENCANTA!!")
