10/1 Ratatouille

Friday was filled with meetings in the morning with the director of the program and more rain. It really does rain quit often here, you must have an umbrella with you at all times. The weather is very unpredictable. In the morning it could be cold and rainy and the afternoon could be warm and sunny. It varies constantly.  Friday night I made dinner for some of my new friends, Charlotte (Scottish), Laura (English), Anna (American), and Julia (German).  I made ratatouille, pasta, and chicken. It turned out great considering it was my first time making it. The kitchens are very small and very difficult to cook in; there is a small sink, two hot plates, and a small counter. I was very impressed with my cooking skills considering the working conditions.

When you do have a dinner party you must tell all of your guests to bring a plate, fork, knife, spoon, and glass. The table setting usually looks pretty cool when it's set. Thank you Cindy for the strainer, knife, and cutting board. They fit perfectly into my suitcase and I have used them almost every day.


So this is Anna'a studio. Far left is Laura, then Charlotte, Anna, and Julia.
