Friday Night's Dinner

The dinner Friday night was really calm and relaxing. No singing at all, and all the talk in English. I'd say a third of those there did not speak Swedish as their first language. The starting food wasn't very good. It was raw salmon... what a perfectly good way to ruin salmon... eating it raw. Salmon should be BBQed over woodchips. The main course was wonderful though. Sliced potatoes, very tender beef, and some green peas. We stayed there until about 1 in the morning. I didn't drink very much at all really. They just served wine with dinner so I drank my half glass of white wine and gave the rest of the alcohol away. I had two welcome drinks and two of the avec things after dinner too.

The funniest thing over dinner last night was when the guy across from Peter left before dessert to go to the lab. After he was gone for around an hour and we didn't think he was coming back, everyone urged me to eat his dessert. So I did, then he showed back up again. I felt VERY guilty.

The plans for today include taking it easy, taking a nap, reading for school, playing X-box, and meeting up with Peter tonight for chips and cheese doodles with some TV time. I might visit the grocery store too. I have no butter, eggs, milk, or even olive oil! The leftover korv strogonoff from yesterday was really very yummy for breakfast this morning though!
