Kieran's take on Pancake Sunday
Living in the basement apartment of a student house has many, many advantages. For instance, the basement is one floor and one floor only. Down here, we share our bathroom and kitchen with four people and we know who’s cooking. And who’s leaving the mess – you get my point. Another nice thing about living in the basement is that we can do whatever we want without an entire 13-people household licking their lips. This is also how we came to invent Pancake-Sunday. I think.
my take on the Samosa-man.
We do still hold that more are merrier. In any case, we’ve had our third weekly Pancake-Sunday today and because pancakes are everywhere and always in our student house, we’re over pancakes already.
So instead of writing that essay that’s been waiting for days already, I decided to take it on a culinary challenge: Challenge the Samosa-man from the shopping center across the street! To my own surprise, my home-style samosas were pretty edible (say Kieran and Liselott and I’m eating one of the leftover samosas right now). And I’ll most likely be having sore muscles from kneading the dough. Aha - That’s why people have kitchen aids.

My creative spirits thus awoken, the essay moved further down my to-do list and I went for a walk instead – to find out what’s on the other side of the shopping center. Curiously enough, the Danes do really seem to put much trust in each other – while in the Netherlands, no single supermarket would even leave their dumpsters out, the bins and boxes are stacked right next to the parking lot here.
Coming back to said creative spirits; I’ve been feeling the need to get storage space in my room that I don’t have to look at all the time, so this seemed perfect. And so later today Sanna, Liselott and I put on hooded sweaters and pretended to be scary, walking the 20m to the parking lot and got crates that I can now fill and stack under my bed. I might have to go back for more.
Obviously, this wasn’t really adventurous until I noticed that our landlord/neighbor was strolling down the street – he does that. And although he’s actually a nice man who just happens to be quite slow on fulfilling his landlordy duties, he’s quite attentive to whatever could be causing trouble on our side. Oh well. He didn’t seem to care about the crates. I’d like to believe we actually tricked him with our hoodies…
What kind of Sunday was this? No pancakes, no real adventure, but the discovery of non-20DKK samosas, storage space and ants in my cosy basement room (that happened just now).
