Well, supposedly Chris is on an airplane now, somewhere over the Atlantic and heading this way! (yay!) Sometime tomorrow he'll land in Paris, and then he'll begin the long trek to Sweden. It'll be great having him here! I just gotta finish (i.e., start) this welfare state history paper.. Today's big accomplishment was in discovering Mejeriet.

Back in Berkeley my roommates and I subsisted for a time on a dinners of black beans, rice, and grape juice. It doesn't sound like much, but it's actually very good, and cheap too ($0.70/person). When I first got to Sweden I attempted to have a big black beans dinner for some of the Americans, only to discover that canned black beans can't be found in this country. I didn't believe it at first, but it's true. Fortunately, there's an international food store called Ris & Curry that sells sacks of dry black beans. Finally this weekend I decided to try preparing some black beans from scratch, and they turned out very well. Korridormates gave the beans bewildered looks, and the Spanish Guy asked, ``What is that, petroleum?'' But Fatima asked me for the recipe, so they can't be too bad.
