I just got back from my winter trip to the US. I have a lot of travel planned in the next six months, and it´ll be easy to fall behind on the blog if I don´t report regularly. As usual, I spend a week in the basement guest room of N and S. They have a great kitchen (to me, any kitchen with a full-size oven and a four-burner stove is a luxury) and hungry teenagers, so I baked and cooked a lot. The best was probably the homemade cake donuts - with four of us helping, they got made, and eaten, quickly.
Back in graduate school, we used to throw "Filled Foods Parties," where a large group of friends made and ate complicated foods like ravioli, wontons, etc., with enough to take home after. We revived the traditions with samosas, but made the rookie mistake of filling up on pizza and deviled eggs before they were finished. Luckily, that just meant more leftovers for everyone.
The M family always gives me an opportunity to flex my DIY muscles. We installed a Wifi hub by threading cables through the ceiling, and started putting up drywall in the basement.
I missed an epic snow storm, but arrived when they were still cleaning up a week later. A thick layer of ice meant pickaxes were necessary to free the cars.
I´m a hobbit, it turns out.
