I feel like I haven’t done much lately in the culture-department. More like I’ve shifted my regular college life just to a different location. Well, okay, that’s not wholly true – I did go out and walk a bit yesterday, and today I had to study for tomorrow’s oral exam. However, I am determined that when I come back from my Denmark adventure (on Wednesday, a friend, her flatmate, and I are setting off on a 5-day excursion around Denmark before the semester starts) I am going to be in the city every day, as until the week of February 15th, I only have one class that consists of a two-hour lecture once a week. If you do not hear about my walks or my visits to museums or any such thing, send me a nasty note saying that I’m not fully taking advantage of the culture here :-)
My adventure here, and my blog posts, also seem to be an exploration in food and drink. I think it’s because, though I cooked at home, I did so in a familiar way, but now I am out of my comfort zone, and so I’m in the mode of trying new things, even if the “new thing” is cooking a familiar food that I’ve only ever relied on my delicious chef mother to make. Today was not a cooking day, but I did try out an omelet, something that I have yet to successfully make. I did better today, though - I flipped it just a tad too early, so it ended up being an omelet-like, not-quite scrambled – mixture of eggs, ham, tomatoes, and cheese.
Also, the cheesecake was a huge success. I, myself, thought it tasted good but could not compare to a restaurant, Cheesecake Factory-style cheesecake, but most people there had never tasted anything like it before and loved it. My favorite part was when I brought it out and they all “Ooh”-ed at it. One of the easiest things to make, but looks so fancy when it’s done!
