Some friends from home showed up unexpectedly today. We went around, it was nice to see them. We went to a little grocery and I bought a pomegrante, a green skinned orange and two turkish figs. I've never had a pomegrante. I always think of that myth with the seeds representing months....Persephone I think?
Next year at least one of them will be here. Maybe both. And Dave. I was very happy today. Oh God! They took me home with them and we had this fabulous Italian fancy-name (Stolechina? or something) cheese and french bread and borchetta. I am butchering the spelling here, but damn it was good. I had never had any of that. (Well I've had the bread)
Tomorrow I am going iceskating. I haven't been iceskating in years. My mom and I used to go, we also went rollerskating. Good Stuff.
I'm eating a kiwi right now. If you can believe it, I had never had a kiwi up until last week. The furry skin and the seeds put me off. I love kiwis now. I cut them in half with this big ass knife we stole from the kitchen and scoop out the yummy green fruit with a spoon. Oh man its good. I actually ate so many the first night I had one that my tongue burned. But it was definitely worth it. We steal them from the cafeteria. But it is an okay kind of stealing, they have this stupid rule where you pay $8 for a meal. Like I eat that much every time, but you are only supposed to take one peice of fruit/food out with you.So we smuggle out as much fruit as we can. Bananas, apples, kiwis, pears, an eggplant...life is good. I dig fruit.
