Isn´t this how you´re supposed to eat it?

So last night we had another American dinner, or I should say an American breakfast dinner. I had decided that I wanted to make pancakes for my roommates. Well, Kerry got very excited about it and said she wanted bacon. So, we ended up making pancakes, bacon, and scrambled eggs. I was surprised that we could find everything that we needed from the store aside from the syrup, but we improvised with nutella, caramel, strawberries, etc. The pancakes weren´t nearly as good as at home since I didn´t have a grill, crisco, or blueberries, but they were still surprisingly delicious. Europeans don´t eat crispy bacon here, but everyone seemed to eat ours up quickly. Naturally. Also, they´d never seen scrambled eggs before. James, Steph´s boyfriend, was absolutely amazed and kept asking us how we did it. Like they were magic eggs or something.

We also had a few laughs, too, including inside jokes such as "Poker". However, after we all sat down to eat, it seems that some people were unaware of how to eat pancakes since in the UK, they eat it as a dessert. Also, Steph had never seen a breakfast that was made up of pancakes, bacon, and scrambled eggs, so she thought that you were supposed to put the bacon and the eggs in the pancake and eat it like a taco. Kerry and I died laughing when we realized what she was doing and asked, "Steph, what are you doing?" She asked, "What, this isn´t how you eat it?" I love my roommates! All in all, I think that we had another success.

I have to say that I´m really enjoying cooking here. We have no measurements and even if we did, I´m still not sure how to convert everything properly. Normally, I just throw things together and hope it turns out okay. We have a really great crowd of friends here, too. Last night we basically just sat around and talked, going back and forth between English, French, and Spanish. It´s actually not as confusing as I thought. We had some food, we had some laughs, and apparently I now have a new nickname, which honestly, is not even worth explaining so I won´t. ¡Salud!
