On April 16, one of my generous classmates from last semester hosted a dinner party for Easter at his new apartment in the city center! We’d talked about having a party for Easter as far back as March. Everyone brought a dish and before dinner we all shared what we brought. It was delicious. I think I ate more that night than any other night this semester. There was a lot of laughter and conversation, a fun time held by all.

I made macaroni and cheese! I found a super easy recipe online (there are about a million different ways to make mac & cheese) that I didn’t require too much in the way of time and ingredients. I thought it came out pretty well, although it does harden if it sits for too long. No where as good as my Grandmother’s baked mac & cheese though. But it was my first time making mac & cheese that’s not Kraft, haha. They just don’t eat mac & cheese much in Denmark.

There were other delicious foods as well, let’s see how much I can remember as it was almost a month ago: spicy meatballs, salads, baked chicken, spicy chicken, this beef wrap which I can remember the name of, pie, and plenty more I’m forgetting (but no less delicious).

This is just a short entry. I am happy because I managed to cook rice the other night, it wasn’t perfect but it came out well enough to eat. I bought some vegetables and there are many small ethnic markets that sell stir-fry sauces and oil, so I have made stir-fry 2 times so far. It’s not that bad and it’ll save a LOT of money.

Also I did my laundry for the second time a few nights ago, this time my clothes weren’t sopping wet and were mostly dry after coming out of the dryer. I glanced at the dryer settings when someone else’s clothes were in there; I decided to put my clothes on that setting when it was my turn. It was the opposite setting from what I had last time. Whatever it was, it worked, so I didn’t need to hang anything this time around.

Now I am going to a lecture on Danish culture at the nearby Copenhagen University. More later…
