And here I babble and eat good food.

Work is going ok in the sense that things are advancing slowly towards the holidays. I can't find motivation to do anything substantial though so I procrastinate a bit... or a lot. That is why there have been a lot of posts recently, sorry about that. In any case, we hopefully will have the book chapter on UDI finished by next week and my reference list for risk management will be done before next Wednesday. But here is a little adventure I had yesterday, for some reason I was really craving this peanut/sesame seeds cake thing which one can only find at the Thai shop here. For me that shop is considered "across town" because I actually need to take the metro to get there, or the tram. I kind of love that shop but clearly Tuesday night is not a good night to go shopping there as many things were sold out, including my peanut/sesame sweeties. Still, I bought some things for dinner. I bought some frozen buns filled with meaty things inside, on the package everything was written in some language I don't know and in German and I've kind of forgotten the different meats in German (I just remember "fleish" or something of the sort which is general meat). It was "surprise" bun party, in the end I ate both, one was beef and one was curry. The inside of the curry one was delicious, but man did it look weird (pictorial evidence of weirdness, do not click if you're eating). My dad would say it was the colour of a new born's poop. I also got some buns filled with coconut and with red bean paste (pictorial evidence under the cut), I wanted the ones filled with peaches but they were out of those. But I also found this little gem. Actually these noodles were rather nice, must be all that Japanese technology! Telling ya! I have a thing for bean noodles. They're really awesome, I much prefer them to rice noodles and regular wheat noodles. They're so nicely transparent and have a different texture than rice noodles. And the inside of the red bean paste buns. They're sold frozen and you pop them for one minute in the microwave and you have the best snack/dessert in the world. The only problem I have with red bean paste (and red beans in general) is that I get nauseous after eating too much of it... so two and a half red bean paste buns is my limit. Maybe that's a good thing. Other news: it's snowing! Wheee! Other other news: updated the 365days project last night, you can go see it here.

Ooooh! I'm so saving this in my iPod so I can look it up at the store so I actually know which buns I take! Thanks <3
