in the kitchen!
so a couple people have asked me about food here and how im doing cooking so i thought it deserved a post of its own...
okay so first about food here... I don't have any Norwegian roommates yet (there's 4 of us here so far, Rose from Cameroon, Hemma from Nepal and Shirin from Iran and me, 2 more coming later) so I haven't had any really authentic "Norwegian" food yet...
but i DID have my first "brown cheese" experience... a very norwegian food. it's cheese but it's brown and it looks like a big bar of caramel or toffee or something. and then you bite into it... and it TASTES like caramel!! crazy!! it's actually pretty good though, in all its crazy sweet caramelly goodness! (steph hsieh, you'd be lovin it! ;) ) ill have to buy some and get a picture of it!
another crazy norwegian thing...
everything comes in tubes here.. fish, shrimp, bacon, CAVIAR... is pepperoni SUPPOSED to be squeezable?!?
and now me. haha.. as my solin hall friends might know, i'm no martha stewart, but my apron is like Dumbo's feather, when i have it on, i think im invincible! but this whole domestication thing is definitely still a work-in-progress... i just made rice the other day. Take 2 turned out nicely, but as for my first attempt, i was cleaning at the same time & wasnt paying attention... and well, this happened
oops! it took me an hour and a half to scrub it clean again. i tried to redeem myself today by making curry chicken with debbie, but the sauce mix came from a package so im not sure if it really counts! but it was yummy
not quite as related, but still in the kitchen...
i just got this set of bowls from the store tonight... they're so pretty, i love them! haha... maybe i am getting domesticated afterall! (its funny that i say that as im studying the social construction of gender relations!)
anyways, many more adventures to come im sure!
much love!

mmm caramel cheese sounds divine!
squeeze tube food is such a disgrace to ...real food! perhaps it's cos everything is so expensive that they just concentrate all the flavour into a tube! (ness told me bout your $20 cheese!)
as for your pot fiasco...i helped vanessa clean a burnt pot on her birthday really easily. throw some vinegar, and baking soda (or perhaps it's powder?) into the pot and watch it bubble the blackness away! you may need to heat it up abit, but DON'T WALK AWAY from the pot! then when you brush it with a scrubby, it'll come off way easier.
