Apr. 11 – “This tastes like feet!” – Ross from Friends

I’m going to cook dinner for my Dutch friends and my roomies tonight. It’s the first time, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed lol. These poor people don’t know what they’re subjecting themselves to. Well, actually, I haven’t been such a bad cook. I made French toast with icing sugar and peaches for my roomies the other day and they said it was really good. Tonight I’m making sweet and sour pork stir fry. I know that sounds SO cliché, but it’s only because the school gave us Knorr sweet and sour sauce in our welcome kits and sweet and sour pork stir fry is the first thing that I think of when I hear “sweet and sour sauce”. Anyways, I think I’m craving it too.

I just found out today that Goo will come backpacking with me and Jenny in July! I’m so happy because I’ve been trying to convince him for months and he couldn’t decide between visiting in May or July. Yay! As soon as I get internet next week, I’m going to start planning the itinerary, although there’s always room for spontaneity.

Ok, so I made dinner and it was a success! I didn’t burn anything and everything was cooked perfectly. The only thing was that I forgot to add the pineapples! Pineapples make it so much better, but that’s ok. I was worried that we wouldn’t have enough food, but we actually have a little bit leftover. Thanks to my sous-chef Cora!

Last night we had dinner at Sebastian’s place. Eric and Sean also live there. It’s a really nice flat, but it’s really far. It takes about 25 minutes to walk to school. Sebastian made a really nice salad with green, red, and yellow peppers and pasta with a red spicy sauce and a white cheese sauce. We played poker afterwards, which was a lot of fun. As usual, I lost, but I enjoyed the process of losing haha. I hope we have more dinner-and-poker nights!
