Today has been a bit of an up, down day.... maybe I'll serve this blog in the fashion of a compensating restaurant ... good crisp starter, then all the scraggly end bits for the main, finishing with a yummy dessert...
The prix fixe starter choice of today will be a lovely helping of sifting through my course booklet... FINALLY! There's not a great deal to say about this, other than the fact that the person who wrote my timetable was obviously in some way closely related to a gorilla or some sort of in-advanced variety of sloth....
It seems to me that people in every country have chronic administration deficiency despite the fact it seems to be all that the staff are employed for... But anyway after much annoyance and several trips to the office I have finally decided on a whole ONE class I can take this year. WAHOO!!
So now for the buffet style sloppy mash of a main course, the typhoon and soy sauce incident. Even if this disaster got given a name by the papers (like all the worst atrocity commiters do), it would most likely still be dire as the water you drained from said sloppy mash... but here's what I'm thinking; 'THE WINDY BROWN WHOOSHER!!' <--- snappy right??
In fact.... I seem to recall an article of a very similar name...... OH HERE IT IS! What a coincidence......
Where is the soy sauce you previously mentioned I hear you ask. Well, in my rush to save the remaining socks I managed to knock a tiny bottle over (the ones you get free in sushi boxes), right onto my almost-as-freshly-laundered bed sheet. -_-
And finally to finish from the a la carte sitting comes the mexican feast.
As you may or may not know.... (i'm presuming the latter) recently it was mexican independence day. This meant it was time for the resident sombrero lover in our dormitory to organise a mexico themed party in the lobby! (obviously I went dressed for the occasion...... ok I drew on a moustache...)
Which is the real mexican? |
But anyway it was really nice and the guys here made real life mexican food not just nachos and cheese, called chiles capeados (peppers with tuna in) and chilaquiles (like doritos?)...
Yummy!! |
Obviously no mexican party is complete without the resident cactus based beverage being on offer. In fact there was almost 3 large bottle of tequila just waiting to be consumed... I actually decided to not be a weak little seal and try the whole, 'salt, tequila, lemon' thing and my only previous experience of this drinking 'ritual' was involving lidl's finest tequila and some Haribo tangfastics, needless to say it was not overly yummy. BUT this time it wasn't actually half bad..... the random other flavours of sour and salt manage to mask the horrific taste of strong alcohol. Well done sodium chloride and the lemon tree. I didn't manage to take a picture of my doing these shots because as I just said... I was doing the shots, but heres my friend instead :)
If you watch it backwards it's like she spits out the drink in disgust. |
And that concludes my post!!!
VIVA MEXICO!!!
