Kanelbullar

Today, I made "kanelbullar" (cinamon buns). I did it because I had too much coffee and was very energetic, but also because kanelbullar very much remind me of Sweden. And also because it's about the only thing I know how to bake. When I was at the store to buy ingridients, I realized that Spanish supermarcets make no sense whatsoever. Things are not where they're supposed to be. When you have to look for sugar for 10 minutes, you know something is wrong.

The reason I write about "kanelbullar" in this blog, is because I think kanelbullar is a big part of the Swedish culture. I really do. We even have a special day for kanelbullar in Sweden, it's called "kanelbullens dag". The general idea is that you eat kanelbullar on this day. I have to go now, but I'll write something more tomorrow. Buenas noches a todos!

My first tv performance...

I have made my first tv performance. Yes. They interviewed me for the local channel Pirineus TV. Before you get all excited (ok, maybe you won't, but still), the interview lasted for maybe 30 seconds. No big deal really, just a little bit about what I'm doing here and what my experience have been so far. Still, for me it felt like a big deal, being my first time and all. I had prepared what I wanted to say in my head, but of course none of it came out as I had planned. Still, I think it went pretty well. And like I said, not really a big deal.

That's all I have for now. I'm enjoying life here in la Seu, and I will post more soon. I know I' haven't posted much yet, but I will. Count on it.

¡Hasta pronto!
