Ruben bloggar frå turar, innland og utland: The boring day that became very fun!

Wednesday morning I got up and went to the gym as normal, and then to work. Like the other days this week, I got nothing to do at the office.

I studied a bit Nyanja and got bored, then I went on the internet and to look at www.matprat.no, where I looked for a recipe. It had been a while since I cooked for my family, and I stumbled upon Norwegian meatballs (my mom in Norway makes the best meatballs in the world!).

My host mom had told me that she would be very tired today, so Dinah had to cook today, so this was a good opportunity for me to cook. So I wrote down all the ingredients and walked to the supermarket during lunch “break”. I found all of the ingredients, (more or less). I even got everything for the chocolate mousse (dessert). I just managed to buy in everything before I rushed to the Nyanja course at 14:00. After an hour of learning, I went home. By the time I got home the food had been in my bag for around 2 hours, but I crossed my fingers for it not to have gone bad. I was excited and started with the dessert straight away, and Dinah, who came home early from school to sleep, helped me out.

It turned out the cream I had bought had turned bad during the afternoon, so we had to change our plans. The chocolate was already melted in the water bath and mixed with eggs and sugar, so we decided to make chocolate covered bananas. We had so much chocolate that we had to use some apples as well. When the dessert was in the fridge/freezer, we started on the dinner.

Meatballs and brown sauce, everything made from the bottom, first time ever. It went great, and in the end everyone appreciated the dinner that was very Norwegian. We had potatoes on the side just like a typical Norwegian family (through my childhood, we had potatoes for every single dinner!). The dessert was the highlight and we loved it.

Of the sour cream I almost threw away, my host mom made scones of, before she went to bed, so there was a lot of treats for us this evening.

This is how I looked when I took a walk on Monday after work. My flat is just behind me

O'yeah!

But today I went back to normal, since my mozongo hair could hold on to the fake hair anymore...
As you can see, I'm sweating from the moment I get up. Very hot these days...
