Min første karryret: lam i spinat, selvfølgelig. Den var godt nok stærk, kan åbenbart ikke håndtere min karry.
My first curry: lamb in spinach, my favorite! God, it was hot, cannot handle my curry, apparently.

Frosne gulerødder. Vores køleskab er lige ivrig nok.
Frozen carrots. Our fridge is a bit too keen.

Food Research

En god og en dårlig.
One good, one bad.

Dårlig // Bad
'Pie' på dåse // Pie in a tin

Photobucket
Resultat: Hvis din første tanke er 'det kan man da ikke putte på dåse?' så har du højst sandsynligt ret. Smagte mest som kattemad.
Result: If your first though is 'you can't really put that in a tin, can you?' you're probably right. Tasted mostly like cat food.

God // Good
Cornish pasty
Photobucket Photobucket
Resultat: Slet, slet ikke som kattemad. Varm og lækker. Mmmmm. Skal gentages.
Result: Not at all like cat food. Hot and scrumptious. Mmmmm. Will be repeated.

Det uhyggelige anneks under Brotherton West. Det virkede totalt sandsynligt pludseligt at finde et lig imellem de bevægelige reoler. SÅ GLAD for at jeg ikke behøvede flytte dem.
The scary annex under Brotherton West. It seemed totally likely that a dead body would appear between the moveable shelves. SO GLAD I did not have to move them.

Det her flyttet rundt på. Gæt hvad nogle har flyttet dem rundt til at forestille nu.
This moved again. Guess what some people have changed it into now.

Mere Roger Stevens, den forreste og de andre døre opad langs rækkerne (jeg sagde jo, at dørene var smalle), og Edward Boyle Bibliotekets samling af danske film.
More Roger Stevens, this time the door at the bottom and the little doors up the seats - they are so very narrow, even if the first one is wheelchair-wide. Also the Edward Boyle Library's collection of Danish films.

Øllen både Cecilie og jeg bestilte da vi den 5. november ville se, om der var nogle bål og ikke fandt nogen. The Old Bar havde en øl-festival, så... Den her havde en kraftig smag af bær, har pludseligt glemt hvilket. Den smagte godt i begyndelse og i slutningen af glasset.
The ale Cecilie and I both ordered when we failed to find bonfires on the 5th of November. The Old Bar had all sorts of fancy ales and this one had a strong berry flavour, but I forgot which. It tasted good in the beginning and at the end of the glass.

A little bit of home in Headingly

585w

Headingly er et meget studentervenligt område ca. midt imellem campus og Bodington, og her ligger den her lille sandwichbiks. Hvor hyggeligt er det ikke lige?
Dem, der lavede sandwichene, havde ingen anelse og de ændrer snart navnet :(

A little place in Headingly, a student-friendly part of town. 'Brød' means 'bread' in Danish! The people behind the counter had no idea, though, and they are going to change the name soon :(

Bonfire Night Fail and Christmas lights

Photobucket
Photobucket

De her er de eneste billeder fra Bonfire Night eller Guy Fawkes Night - selvom det af en eller anden grund blev fejret den 4. i stedet for den 5. Vi kom for sent, fordi vi troede, at det startede en halv time senere. Fail. Missede fyrværkeriet og bålet var ikke særligt imponerende. Cecilie og jeg gik lidt rundt i parken, men da de slukkede for lysene var der ligesom ikke så meget at gøre der. Det er et skummelt område, også selvom der var masser af mennesker endnu. De her billeder er fra det tivoli, der var sat op bare for den aften. Dagen efter var det væk.

I stedet har jeg billeder af da de tændte for julelysene i byen! Åh ja, de er nu tændte. Der var en hel lille fest organiseret omkring det, med et sceneshow og mere fyrværkeri og alt muligt. Jeg undskylder på forhånd for de mange billeder af lys of fyrværkeri med et dårligt kamera. Man kan bare springe dem over hvis det er, men der er noget helt til sidst, som I ikke har lyst til at misse!

These are the only pictures from Bonfire Night, which was celebrated the 4th instead of the 5th. We got there too late for the fire and the fireworks because we thought it started half an hour later! Fail. We left when they turned the lights off, the park is not a good place to be in the dark. The pictures are of the fun fair that was set up just for the night - the next day it was gone.

Instead, I've got pictures of when they turned on the Christmas lights last week! Oh yes they did. With a stage show and fireworks again and everything. I apologise in advance for all the pictures of lights and fireworks with a bad camera. You can just skip them if you want, but there is something at the end you will not want to miss!

Showet var viiiirkeligt underligt, men det havde nok givet mere mening, hvis man havde hørt efter. Leeds United var der på et tidspunkt, og en pingvin og julemanden og en kæmpe gave?
The show was incredibly odd, but it might have made more sense if we'd paid attention. Leeds United were there and so was a penguin and Santa and a huge present?

Haha, det er vel hvad der sker, når en by er kendt for sit pub crawl (the Otley Run)!
