Here's a (old Estonian?) recipe for a simple dessert that costs next to nothing - and is made pretty much out of nothing (raisins, water, sugar). Yet it tastes good.. I vaguely remember it from kindergarten and elementary school lunch breaks, but it had been a looooong time since my last rosinakissell. Until I stayed at the maternity clinic early last month and had to 'feast' on the food that the hospital budget catering had to offer. The desserts were all nursery food and humble, and raisin fruit soup or kissel was served one night. Although the hospital version wasn't the best example of this dessert soup, it still brought back nostalgic food memories. Back home, one of the first dishes I cooked as a young mother, was this dessert soup/fruit soup/kissell (call what you like it). Pretty delicious, actually. For best result, use different type of seedless raisins and currants. I used small yellow and large Californian raisins. Raisin Fruit Soup (Rosinakissell) Serves 4 200 g seedless raisins 1.5 litres of water sugar, to taste 1 cinnamon stick 3 Tbsp potato starch or cornstarch/cornflour Wash the raisins and soak in a bowl of boiled water overnight (the latter is not absolutely necessary, but it shortens the cooking period). Place raisins and water into a saucepan and bring into a boil. Season with sugar (careful here, as raisins are naturally sweet), throw in a cinnamon stick. Simmer on a medium heat until raisins are all plump and softened. Mix the starch with some cold water and pour into the raisin soup, whisking constantly to avoid clumps. If using potato starch, remove the saucepan from the heat the moment it starts to bubble lightly again. If using corn starch/cornflour, bring into a boil and simmer for couple of minutes. Pour into dessert bowls and sprinkle some sugar on top. Serve with whipped cream, curd/farmer's cheese cream or softened vanilla ice cream.

There are so many amazing things we can do with Google Forms. One of my favorite features allows us to differentiate a form for students, meaning we can send students to different questions and pages of information based on how they answer each question.

I don't know if I should admit this but up until I looked it up just now, I had no CLUE what the phrase "Shut the front door" meant. No clue.
