Yes, it has been a couple of weeks and I promised to talk about marshmallows and beer. Well, I have yet to be to the correct store to take pictures of the marshmallows.
So, I wanted to wish you all a Happy Fat Tuesday. I was a bit surprised at work today (more on that in a minute), when we had a special fika this afternoon. Just like in the U.S., Sweden has their own special pastry that they have on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. They are called "Semlas". Really, they are a cream puff filled with an almond filling within all of the whipped cream. Here is a picture of them:
They were very good, but a bit too sweet for me. I only ate a small part of it.
Anyhow, on to the job situration. I have a temporary job that at this point will go through the end of March. This time, I am doing more than ironing and steaming beds. :) I will be working in the Free Range area obtaining and preparing products for an upcoming photo shoot. It definitely is nice to be able to think a bit more than I have been.
Now, we found out some distressing news today. We will have to move in the near future. The person who owns the house that we are renting had an offer that he cannot refuse, so therefore, our agreement is going to be broken. Hopefully, we will be able to find a new place quickly. The bad news is, we left most everything we own in Houston due to the fact that this house was mostly furnished and had a kitchen with pots, pans, and dishes. I guess IKEA will be getting some more business from us in the future. Yes, it is distressing, but there are some good things about it as well. We most likely won't have a yard to take care of and will have more free time to exercise and feel a bit freer. We have spent a lot of time taking care and improving this house, so it is disappointing. In some ways this house was getting frustrating due to the fact that the living area is cold and there are items in the house that are difficult to keep clean. I will keep you all posted on the new developments and where we will move to.
By the way, there have been no developments on my English class, so I am not sure where that stands. I am a disappointed with this, but not sure what else I can do.
I will get to the marshmallows and beer soon.
Much love to all of you,
Bridgette
