Date Balls, Baby Rabbits and Swimming!

Hi everyone! I've kinda fallen into a routine, which is nice, but doesn't really give me much to talk about (or take pictures of) Since Monday... 3 things of note have happened.

1) DATE BALLS:
Monday I had a cooking class! We made fish and salads and date balls. I was.... rather worried about this whole thing as I'm not a fan of fish and date balls sounded rather disgusting. It, however, turned out very well! We had white fish in seasame seeds and curry... and we had salmon with ginger, lemon grass and chilies. Both were FANTASTIC. So much so, that for dinner tonight I am making the salmon again. Hopefully it turns out... Anyway. For dessert, we made date balls. As in, balls made out of dates. I thought this would be disgusting as I don't much like dates... They're just almonds, dates and cocoa powder thrown in a food processor then coated in coconut. But I tasted them... and they were SOOOO good. Like brownies! Only... healthy!!! It was amazing. And thus, I felt like sharing.

2) BABY RABBITS:
Amanda and her friend Anna both have rabbits, and they've been trying to get Amanda's rabbit to have babies. And, yesterday, Pia found baby rabbits outside! So, now there are baby rabbits! Amanda is SO excited about them, you should see her talk about them and when she came to tell me it was so cute! Anyway, these rabbits are half the size of your hand, naked and blind. And will continue to be naked and blind for about 8 weeks. OH! there are 5 of them. Amanda is keeping 1, to name Minnie. Anna gets one, and another one of her friends gets one... and the others are being sold to the pet store.

3) Last night I watched TV with Pia and she asked me what I was doing today, I said I had no idea, so she invited me to go swimming with her. Of COURSE I didn't turn her down. I like swimming! So, this morning we hop on the bikes... the pool ends up being a 20 minute bike ride away. It was flat though (it IS Denmark..) and not hard. And good bike riding weather. We get there and use some free tickets... And then things get interesting. Now... I don't think many of you have been swimming in Denmark... but their locker room customs are... very different. There are two rooms... one with lockers and one with showers. Only, you put all of your clothes in the locker and you don't put your swim suit on until after you're all showered... So... its very different from at home where you either go to a stall and change... or you quickly change as fast as possible to minimize naked time... Or you change under a towel. After swimming (which was great. I miss swimming...) I tried to shower with my swimsuit ON and people looked at me funny... Oh well. I guess I learned that when in Denmark you do like the Danes...

Other random thing: I think I am going to go buy a pair of boots tomorrow. they were... I think 70$? They were very cute- black with zippers and buttons. They had a little heel and went up to midcalf? I think they will go well with my skinny jeans and my scarf! Now... I should just buy that dress and a shirt... heh :)
