My language skills are not even at the toddler level, but I have managed to impress the host family with my cooking. Saturday night I baked pizza in Larisa's ancient Turkish monster of an oven. Even with non-melting Georgian cheese, the pizza was a hit.Later, I impressed them even more by popping popcorn. Apparently, Larisa tried it once but didn't know you were supposed to keep a lid on the pot.
So you've introduced pizza and popcorn -- I think the Peace Corps has already gotten it money's worth in goodwill promotion. (Now, if you've made some of your *kettle* corn, you could pack up and come home right now.)
