Latvian dinner and VCD night

Today, Alvis, Kat and I decide to do something exciting! Haha.. Alvis agrees to cook some Latvian dishes for me and Kat, since he has been saying that he can cook. Quote: I like cooking, cooking is like art. Yeah, so Kat and I shop around in T-centrelen for a bit, while Alvis goes home to get some stuff, most importantly, his aunt’s 40 year old recipe book. Talk about traditional Latvian food! Since Kat is vegetarian, we decide on Cauliflower with breadcrumbs and Potato Pancakes. Check it out!


A taste of cauliflower.


Starting top left: the potatoes, cauliflower and melted butter.


Cauliflower dish is a success!



Potato pancakes aren’t exactly what Alvis planned and he’s a little disappointed. He keeps reminding us, “This is not how its supposed to be, this is not Latvian potato pancakes” Yes, we understand you don’t want the reputation of Latvian cuisine to be tarnished under your hands. We think you did fine.


We have dinner finally and they watch this rather ridiculous show on Tv, called Jack-Ass. Dumb dudes challenge one another and play tricks on others. I’m rather offended by the show. The show is super obscene and pointless.

After dinner, we watch a movie which I totally cannot register, because I slept from beginning to end. I have no idea why I am so tired. I get a sms and I go home to find a surprise at my door. This is my first obvious sign. I have mixed feelings that night. Some things run through my head.
